Palm Is Home
Here’s an interview with Iris Thompson about the whole Palm incident. Wow. There is an emergency strip on the trains, but she couldn’t find it, and nobody would help her! One man even told her it was ok. Oh no it isn’t. I bet he feels about 6 different kinds of dumb right about now. …
What Showed Me The Way To Getting A Guide Dog
Ro mentioned an assistance dog blog carnival, and asked folks if they wanted to participate. Once I figured out what the heck a blog carnival was, I figured I’d throw a post onto the pile. Maybe we’d get some new people reading us. The topic is firsts. So any first to do with assistance dogs. …

The Guide Dogs Tag Meets The Trains Tag
I saw the headline guide dog dragged by speeding train” and screamed. I can’t, I just can’t imagine. Somehow, the leash got caught by the sliding door and then the dog ended up out on the platform where it was dragged, got caught on something else, and fell to the guideway below. It appears to …
