Keep us posted on the dog situation, Bill.

About support groups.  Well, one could say that sighted folks go to support
groups and feel as though the group's unfriendly.  Now, don't tell us anything
real personal--let's see--uh, figure out if you can change groups--in other
words--to same type of group but different people.  that's one suggestion.
that goes for anyone, I think.  It is sometimes harder for a group to feel
that a blind or disabled (other disabilities) person can "fit in."  Most
groups are okay, though, from my own experience and from the experiences of
other blind people.

Maybe others can comment about this.
