Guide dog etiquette

This is a list of things that you should do when you see a guide dog team. Some are from the human, some are from the dog, and others are from both (noted after each). Honestly, this is just me ranting about things I do not like that people do

1)I may be cute but I've got a job, I am NOT here for you. -dog

2)if you want to do something nice, like hold a hold a door open please tell me, I'm not a jerk -human

3) don't pet the dog, just don't even ask, the answer is no, she's working. It's also distracting to the dog -human and dog

4) "over there" and anyother phrases like it don't help, they only frustrate. Play hot and cold with me I don't care-human

5) no, I don't want to hear about your dog (dead or otherwise) -human

6)I may wear glasses, but they don't "fix"my vision -human

7)I don't understand directions, tell my mom -dog

8) just because I'm in your class/ mom "knows" you does not give you petting privilege (see 1) -human and dog

These may seem like petty things to you but I don't speak up often, so I use writing .If you have questions please ask, I don't bite (hard, lol jk). I'd rather answer questions than rant. USE YOUR VOICE, EDUCATE YOURSELF, EDUICATE OTHERS.

So the squirrels on campus are pretty tame, like follow you home tame. We were walking out of a building after class and there is a squirrel sitting in the middle of the sidewalk eatting something totally oblivious to the world and the dog that just walked out of the building 30 feet from it. Seeing this situation I decided to see how close we could get before the squirrel ran. We get within a few feet (>5) before it saw  Ori and scooted.  

Shameless

I know times are hard but every little bit helps, and even if you can't donate you could join my team or share the link and help spread the word. I'm bored and have nothing better to do with my time
