[Blind-rollers] Blind-rollers Digest, Vol 2, Issue 8

Thu Aug 9 22:21:58 CDT 2007

Hi all

I wrote last week looking for some input as to the use of guide dogs with 
motorized chairs.  My putr came down with a nasty little bug and was down 
being disinfected for the last few days and I fear I may have missed your 
replies.  I use a 64 inch graphite cane with large roller wheel at present 
and have been thinking of getting a guide dog .  I have been in contact with 
East coast guide dogs and they've sent me all kinds of info but I really 
need to hear it from users.  You know pro's con's.  I'll be looking for your 
replies.  Thanks  Marcel " blind rolling northerner
