Reaction and Photos from Sacramento
While I recently posted about my
speech in Sacramento, it's always good to get alternative
perspectives from other people. Arielle and her husband were my
hosts during the visit to U.C. Davis, and so I thought
her comments on the presentation were noteworthy. I appreciated
her kind words, and was also glad to hear that some things I'd
mentioned over dinner made a
positive impact on her personally.
On a side note, her blog entry also contains
a photo of Glindy and I with the Buddy System hands-free
reflective leash. Since the picture was taken with a flash, you can
get a pretty good idea of how useful this leash could be in
low-light situations.
This
other photo shows Glindy wearing her
chest
strap cover from The Raspberry Field. As you can see, the cover
makes her "service dog" markings visible from the front, which
makes it easier for people to identify her as a service animal when
she's sitting or lying down. I've found this to be important when
store clerks are peering over their counters, or when waitresses
peek under the table at restaurants. YMMV.
