[nagdu] I guess I will not be getting a dog

[barbandzoe at comcast.net]

I just got the letter from Fidelco guide dog school and they say I don't qualify, they were my only hope to get a dog because they come to me to train with the dog and not me going to the school for three weeks. I can't get that kind of time off of work and keep my job at the same time. 
I was hoping to get a dog, this was something I had wanted for 40 years. 
I just don't understand why I don't qualify. I have no big special needs. 
they say I can appeal, , but is it worth it.
