Well Andy and I continue to work great together. Saturday morning we worked on escalators, and that went just fine, once I got the timing right as far as when to say the various commands, when to give more leash for Andy to get off the escalator etc.
I am now very happy to say that Andy is now consistently taking me to my dorm room just by me saying “Andy, home”. It’s great! I’m proud of him every time he does it, especially because then I don’t have to fish round for my room door. Go Andy! He’s the up and coming best guide dog on the entire east coast!
Anyway, this week, we’ll go back to San Francisco, where I hope to partake of more coffee, and if I can’t get coffee, maybe pizza? Probably asking too much, but it’s never stopped me, or Andy before. Later, I’ll do traffic checks with Andy, as well as more clicker, and work on more custom dog stuff. We will also do a few night routs. I think that toward the end of the week, they will drop us off at an unknown location, and ask us to walk back with our dogs. Thank god, I have a GPS on my iPhone! Did I mention how much I love my iPhone, oh yeah, and Andy to. Well, that’s it for now, more when I get around to it.

Sounds great — Andy and the iphone with the GPS sound awesome!
Yeah, find pizza, find tacos, and maybe find coffee? (not Starbucks of course). Oh, and by the way, I’m jealous of that IPhone of yours!
Why do I have the feeling that Andy will soon learn the “Find pizza” command.
