Text of the page (random words):
ant that all most everyone at work really likes we go at least once a week its so good we get cravings for the food i could have not been happier with shannon s work she was right on with everything even a traffic check in the middle of crossing central avenue we had the light and i gave her the forward command and while we were in the middle of the street this stupid big truck decided to turn right in front of us she stopped pretty far away from the truck thank goodness i really believe some people can t drive the instructors said we looked really great together and shannon had a great pace and pull speaking of traffic checks the other day while walking to the bus stop this car tried to pull out of one of the parking lots and shannon stopped the car backed up and waited for us to cross the parking lot i ve had two traffic checks in like three days i can t stand it when cars think they can just pull out in front of me or anyone else guess they are not paying attention or something i really can t stand louise avenue near to work i avoid that intersection as much as i can yesterday when the seeing eye instructors were there i crossed louise with shannon if nothing but to build my confidence one of the instructors told me that me and shannon were more than capable of crossing the intersection but choose not too shannon did wonderful but i don t think i feel comfortable crossing by myself shannon s work yesterday sure built my confidence as well as our confidence as a team shannon and muffin have been playing all morning long they played so much last night that shannon put herself in her crate now she is happily chewing on a bone and muffin is outside the other night i was grooming both girls and muffin must have saw something because she started barking like crazy she went down to the landing on the stairs and barked some more before she decided it was ok to come back inside the only time she ever barks is when she wants shannon to play with her muffin s been wanting to play allot here lately i was all most out of food and decided to switch them to natural balance its a really good food from the research i have done i started the switch yesterday and they both love it and want more right now i am feeding the duck and potato and the price is fairly reasonable for a thirty pound bag if you want to know what s in your dogs food then go to www petfooddirect com then select the brand of food your dog is currently eating they also have cat food as well some of the stuff in dog food is pretty gross but natural balance is an all natural food i guess i am going to end this for now i will more than likely update when i get home until next time posted by hope clontz at 8 59 am no comments tuesday april 13 2010 long over due update this is what i have written in my journal over the past few weeks april 1 2010 i am so glad that spring has finally came and hopefully to stay this time the weather has been so wonderful this week sunny and warm yesterday and today i took muffin and shannon out to let them play and they had a blast i brought a ball outside to throw and shannon would not let muffin have it i would throw it and shannon would take off running and no matter how fast muffin ran she could not keep up with her it s so wonderful that they get along so well together they came inside and continued to play some more shannon kept running around with the ball in her mouth she was so happy you would have thought she had won a million bucks she was not dropping that ball for anything and of course was very proud of herself this week we have gotten out and taken a few walks in the wonderful sunshine we walked with a group of people from work to get lunch at this wonderful restaurant and shannon s work was amazing i forgot to post this but one day week before last muffin was at home by herself and threw herself a party i had this bag with some treats and a edible bone and muffin ate it all while i was at work one day i got home and shannon went and told on muffin because she brought me some plastic from the bone that muffin ate she has not done anything like that since i made sure everything was put up so she couldn t eat it she was on a diet and i think being on a diet pissed her off or something because that s not like muffin at all i found a few websites that you can buy nfl and college team stuff for your dogs shannon had a birthday on tuesday she turned two years old if she is as amazing as she is i can t imagine how amazing she will be about a year from now once she grows out of her wanting to act like a puppy stage i guess i ll end this for now hopefully i did not forget anything until next time hope muffin and shannon april 13 2010 i have not updated in a while and part of the reason is that i have been pretty busy shannon has put herself to bed because playing with muffin has made her tired and she has no more energy she did this last night as well when muffin gets tired of playing with her she just goes and jumps out of the dog door weekend before last they were playing and muffin got sick of it and went and jumped out the door as if to say i m out of here she stayed outside for about ten minutes and then decided to make her way back in i thought it was so funny and then shannon turned around looking for her muffin has been coming to get me with my mom at the bus stop and when shannon sees her she gets really happy they get along so well together and i couldn t be happier tomorrow two instructors from the seeing eye are coming to get me from work and we re going to lunch last wednesday i took a day of vacation and went several places one being the mall and shannon did amazing work she really has one speed and that s full force she was staying really close behind this person trying to pass them and at one point she was in a foot race then this girl from all the way on the other side of the mall screams to the top of her lungs there s a dog and takes off running i couldn t help but laugh about that one some people are just crazy saturday i went to this dog festival which was pretty fun muffin got to go and she was so happy and had herself a ball there were a few people i knew that went and they took muffin for me so i could work shannon who other dogs don t faze her at all the other day a friend and me were in this restaurant this lady comes up to me and comments on how pretty shannon was and started talking to us she started talking to me and asked me if i lived by myself and how i fed my dog and i tried to explain it to her and then she asked me how i knew where her food dish was at do people think because i am blind that i can t find my way out of a paper bag or do people just not have any common since it s sure frustrating that i am treated differently just because my eyes don t work i really don t get some people at all maybe they don t know but come on feeding a dog is not rocket science and yes i live by myself and do just fine thank you very much on another note i was in a basketball pool at work and won so i got a hundred bucks which i can t complain about at all funny thing is i don t know much about basketball now football that s a totally different story the weather has been absolutely amazing lately it was really hot early on last week but on thursday night it rained and really helped allot i had to give shannon a allergy pill because she would have to stop playing with muffin to sneeze last weekend it was beautiful and perfect to sit outside in the sun shannon and muffin played outside and i threw a toy which shannon would not let muffin have muffin kept running around after her trying to get it but shannon was just too fast muffin came inside and is beside my chair panting while shannon has put herself in her crate i guess i am going to end this for now hopefully i did not forget anything until next time hope muffin and shannon posted by hope clontz at 7 47 pm no comments wednesday march 24 2010 another update i have to write about how wonderful shannon really is i can t believe today i have had her home a month it doesn t seem that long all ready she is currently under my desk relaxing for now until she thinks it is time to play with muffin some more the weather is wonderful and i can tell shannon seems to have more energy today me and a friend from work walked to this wonderful mexican restaurant a few blocks away this place is so good we eat there at least once a week shannon s work was wonderful and her street crossings were perfect on the way back we went to cross and this stupid cable truck was blocking the entire cross walk in the far lane shannon had to go out of the cross walk to get me around the stupid truck i truly believe if i could drive i could drive better than allot of people on the road thank goodness for shannon i thought about flipping the guy off but that probably would have not been too nice i m not sure but i think its against the law to block the entire cross walk i guess when the light changed the guy figured out he couldn t make it and just stopped there or something shannon truly makes me smile every day and she is starting to learn the places i go to allot we go somewhere once and when we go back again she remembers that we have been there before i have to show her something once and that s about all it takes we were out some this past weekend and through out the week guess that s all for now will update when i have a chance until next time posted by hope clontz at 6 32 pm no comments saturday march 20 2010 time for an update don t you think i really wish i had the energy that both shannon and muffin have they have been playing all morning long and its been nice to sit there and watch them one would get a bone the other one would want it so they would take bones away from each other they did this bone switching thing for about an hour they always play in theevenings when i get home and get all there energy out this week has been a pretty busy and crazy week i am trying to learn with shannon how to cross this not so great intersection near my work the corner is strange and shannon kept wanting to not stay in the cross walk i don t use this intersection on a regular basis but it is a good thing to know in case i ever have to cross there i could cross there going to and from the bus stop but i choose to go down and around which is much easier with not allot of traffic just the way i like it the intersection is very busy and when i cross i feel as though the traffic is right on top of me i was told it was really close and i don t think i would feel comfortable enough crossing that street by myself my instructor and shannon s trainer from the seeing eye came out on thursday and helped us with the crossing one thing that seemed to have worked is when i start off in the street give shannon the straight command through out the crossing once i did that she did wonderful going from curb to curb my instructor and some one else is going to be back down next month and i ll take all the help i can get the other day me shannon and a few people from work walked to this wonderful new mexican restaurant and shannon did wonderful there is a pretty busy street you have to cross to get to the restaurant and she crossed that street perfect her work is still wonderful and i couldn t be happier now shannon is demanding that i pet her so i might as well end this until next time posted by hope clontz at 9 44 am 1 comment sunday march 14 2010 week in review i have been home only two weeks and i am becoming a slacker as far as updating this thing shannon has been doing wonderful of course one day i decided when getting on the bus to go for a walk and on a little adventure to go to another bus stop we walked to where the bus stop is sourt of located but there was just one problem i couldn t find the pole with the sign indicating the bus stop shannon had no idea i was looking for this certain pole so i took out my cane and tried to find the thing with no luck i stood there for a few minutes waiting to see if a bus came by and one did and drove right past me because i was not standing at the pole if a person is not standing at the bus stop pole most drivers will not stop in the city of charlotte the bus stops are not consistent some are in the middle of a block while others are near the corner some are on the traffic side of the street and others are on the building side of the street there really is know way of knowing unless you frequent a particular bus stop from block to block where the bus stop poles are located it was so frustrating because i ended up having to walk back to the familiar bus stop there are several places i could take the bus in the city but if i don t know where the bus stop is exactly located its pointless and i am very limited in where i can travel independently to top it all off it had started raining at this point which just added to my frustrations traffic sounds so much different and allot closer in the rain shannon could have cared less that it was raining but i was not thrilled about getting wet i found out a few days later that the bus stop pole i was needing was on the building side of the sidewalk and not the street side of the sidewalk i have talked to a few people and there is a proposal to the city to put some type of indication as to the exact location of the bus stops something needs to be done for sure another thing that was pretty frustrating was that my efferts to be more independent and do something i have never done before did not work out to well i am going to work with shannon on finding certain places i frequent allot and that stupid bus stop pole is one of them one day last week me shannon and a good friend from work went for a walk shannon did wonderful and had quiet a few distractions that we encountered we were walking down this side street right near to work which had sidewalks there were allot of loud annoying barking dogs inside of fences and shannon totally ignored every one of them all and all it was a good week and now shannon and muffin are playing imagine that one hopefully the rain is gone for a while and the sunny warm weather that is back is back to stay for a while so we can get out and take nice walks on another note its sunday afternoon and there is no football on don t exactly know what i am going to do with myself for the next four and a half months i am a huge football fan if you have not figured that out all ready i watch it when it comes on and pretty much until it goes off nfl network will have to do for now i guess if anyone knows where i can get team stuff for shannon let me know i will update again when i have a chance until next
