Hi, I'm Megan Stanhope. My career plan is to go to college and work at the Humane Society as an animal caretaker for like dogs up for adoption or like whatever animal surviving abuse and I'm not really sure what else to say so I'm Megan Stanhope. Have a nice day.

I was living in North Carolina. Have a little baby and I didn't know what to do. I was upset from my family and I wanted to come down and help. My sister have 20 people living with her. MJ Martinville who become a friend of their ___ loan(?). They come to leave with her for a while with all their dogs and cats and children and everything. They've stayed there for 6 weeks been long here just kinda like and my mother who's a very up beat person was very upset about this because you know it was very bad living in after that surgery. So that what can I do from North Carolina to help to help my family and to be more connected to Louisiana cos I can't go there all the time. So I've decided to start a project go down to Louisiana every once and a while and photograph the landscape there so that I would have a record of what they look like so that I could tell my little girl who is

The past 4 days since the last phlog have been very interesting indeed. After the Trauma of the journey last Tuesday with me and Izzy stuck on the tube for 3 hours Wednesday was fairly straight forward with us going via district and the dreaded Hammersmith line again up to Kings Cross. Thursday saw us doing a completely new route to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists at Baker Street. We managed the stairs at West Ham sation onto the Jubillee line which run up between the escalators and then at Baker Street found there was no stairway up! I learned how to pick Izzy up in my arms and she lay there like the queen of sheebah with her head lolling on my shoulder. It was disconcerting feeling for the escalator with my feet instead of a stick and not being able to hold the hand rail was also a bit scarey! They are looking to change the byelaws where dogs have to be carried on escalators - yes I know the old joke about waiting at the top of an escalator for hours until a dog comes along! But until that happens we have to carry them. once the change happens I expect I will be trained how to get Izzy on and off the escalator without a problem! Most days from now on are likely to be pretty similar so I propose to record my phlogs weekly and if anyone wants to email me please do at m.brace@vision2020uk.org.uk next week I have trips every day to London, a trip to the Olympic and Paralympic site, An event on the London Eye and finishing the week with a boat trip and lunch on the thames I'll let you know how I and Izzy cope next week.

Marathon training, mad dogs, and aggressive drivers.

Hey to Everybody, it's Eddie Marathon. Hey it is Thursday, Thursday night Thursday the 23rd of September. I'm in the car right now and I'm heading down to the Wood Word Avenue Missouri. I wanna have some time with Bruce with sometime with friends and my buddy dirt Doug, Mike Cohai(?) and Kevin Green I'm just finished. We're gonna go and have some fun sample of beers and just find Michael Burry and cargo load for a weekend long run. Have some good time. I tell you I'm ready for some good beer to my or some good cheer been one hell of a week then I'll be true with you too. It kinda be later today like I said pretty crazy at work whatever you work. That's been really crazy with me and I I tell you it's just me. I'm telling you the dogs will bite me but all we did was bite back and we kept fighting and things are getting better and

One Man and his Guide Dog - Episode 14. Today's work with Izzy has again been spectacular with she and I undertaking a route from Canary Warf Station to the London 2012 offices that neither of us had ever been over before. Getting her to spend was also an issue and we found a dog pit but Izzy was not that impressed with it and wouldn't go! Krissie even got into the pit ()a picture which I took of her is coming - not bad for a totally blind photographer even though I do say myself) but still Izzy wouldn't perform. Krissie definitely went that extra mile! we used lifts for the first time and found central stairways and talked a bit about dogs being carried on escalators!

I think the key words from today's training with Izzy, are public transport, dogs being dogs and socialization and perhaps jealousy! This morning we did the first part of training on public transport and that went really smoothly. We walked to the local station at Elm Park and she did that almost perfectly. I mean really difficult crossings fiding areas to cross etc. she found the gate. First time instead of vearing over to the shops! Superb! Down to the front of the train and then the process is when the train comes in you tell the dog to find the doors. Izzy came up to the door, paused on the brink of the tube step so you can locate the step and go in. She then found a seat which is no mean feat at the best of times!

Holly tell me about the movie hotel for dogs. The movie hotel for dogs is has lots of dogs. There is at first to trying to take care of 30827 dogs and then it's think think 4 trying to take care of 6 and then 5 trying to take care of 7 and then they get like lots and lots of more. Goodbye job. Thank you.

Well, I've just finished the fourth day of my training with Izzy and she's now just flopped down at my feet under the table while I'm sitting at my computer desk. She is pretty shattered and I must admit so am I. It's been a really exhilarating day though, because we really did work quite hard this morning. We were doing some areas around where I live and I think Guide Dogs are going to adopt the Elm Park shopping area, as it's probably the best training point for guide dogs in Essex. It really is quite hazardous, quite difficult and I must admit, I think I was quite anxious, but also really interested and I had "my fingers crossed" that Izzy would rise to the challenge.
