Well, it's been a while again, and I am coming with some difficult news. Remember how I wrote about Jimmy's street crossing issues during my last post? They got better for a while, but were never really cured. The other day he took me right into traffic, and I just didn't feel safe. I spoke to Beth, and we decided to send him back to GDB for a training evaluation. He's slated to sik back to California on November 9, and it remains unclear whether he will return as my guide, or our beloved family pet.
We will just have to wait and see what the trainers decide, but there are concerns about the street crossings as well as his crazy excitement every time he sees someone he knows. GDB have been great through this whole thing, and I have been really impressed with how it's been handled.
It's difficult, and I'm experiencing so many emotions richt now, especially when I read this blog and see how well we did in class. All I can think is what happened? How did we go from that amazing team to this? What went wrong?
I know there are no great answers here, I'll probably never find any, but it's just a tough pill to swallow. I will keep you all updated when I can.
Thanks for reading!
