Always happy to see you.

It was freezing and I mean really freezing here yesterday. Today it is colder. Yesterday afternoon, we had to run errands and so I decided to leave Tulia home. We had to go to several places and she had been out with me all morning. When we got home and opened the door, there racing down the stairs, wagging, bouncing, so excited to see me, was tulia. People rarely get so excited to see you after a brief absence. No matter how short a time I am away, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or a couple of hours, the reaction is the same. Warms my heart on such a cold day.

Great things about being blind. Up in the night.

Last night,I woke up when it was still dark and quiet and read a bit of my audio book. Then, my guide dog came over and gave me a paw. She does this sometimes when she hears me stirring but this time, she kept it up. So, I figured, she needed to go out. Advantage for me, get up, find clothes, leash, bags, without turning on the light and disturbing anyone, Downstairs and outside with eyes still kind of closed. Tulia had to go and then guided me back inside. We both returned to our beds without lights having gone on. She isn't sick. Just needed a pee. I know some of you would ask about that.
