I apologize for the lack of updates--the last week was busy.
During my stay in class, I made some really amazing friends. Trisha
(such an awesome girl), Jenifer, Ryon, and Shelley were some of the most
amazing people that I had the privilege to get to know and now call
friends. Leaving them to come home was the hardest thing I've done in a
long time. Its not the end of friendships however, many of us have plans
to meet up again in April and others later on. I'm posting pictures that
were taken the last night of class, enjoy.
As for the last week of training, it was a busy schedule. We went into
New York two days for me and Navajo to work. It was an awesome
experience to see him succeed. We worked trains, subways, buses, stores,
crowds, you name it, we did it. Back in Morristown, we worked
escalators, country work (places with no sidewalks), stairs, more street
work, etc. Navajo did great.
I was a little apprehensive about coming home to Maryland and did
request follow up training here at home. The school agreed and a trainer
is coming out to work a few days with me on Monday to help get me and
the dog familiar with routes here in town. This is a little extension of
the planned training but will do us both good.
Keep us both in your thoughts--its a continual learning process for man
and dog. Coming home from school is a huge change for us both
emotionally and physically. Time has a way of working things out like
that so I'm confident it will in time all be great. I luckily have a
few good friends here in town to help support me through these difficult
changes.
Anyways, I'll keep you updated, hopefully more frequently now.
