We went for our usual early morning walk and chose a route
we haven’t done in a few weeks. We were walking along and Racer stopped which
usually means there is an obstacle in our path, i.e. overgrown bush or
someone’s lawn tools or anything people leave on a sidewalk. Sometimes he stops
me though and it is just because he thinks it is time for a treat because he is
such a good dog. It is up to me to figure out why he stopped. I reach a hand in front of us but I couldn’t
tell anything was in our way so I said, “Let’s go” and Racer immediately placed
a paw on my foot. It was so super cute. I then reached up high and there was a
leafy twig sticking out about to hit me in the eyes. He is such a good guide
dog. He has improved so much. I don’t know if it is him that has improved or if
I have improved my handling skills or if it is just that we are better in tune
to each other. I love it though and these are definitely the good years right
now so I want to document these great experiences so I don’t forget them.
