Chase and I now have two days under our belt as
co-commuters. We walked to BART, rode to
Oakland, and walked to work yesterday and today. And we reversed the process on the way home.
My co-workers have been exceedingly respectful of the
guide dog guidelines. They don’t engage
Chase when he has his harness on. They
ask when they come over to my desk to pet him.
As you can see, Chase is pretty low key.
He mostly sleeps on the floor next to my desk.
Every couple of hours, I take him to drink water and out to
relieve. We have a nice spot next to the
station on the lawn of the condo complex next door. It’s a beautiful location along the Oakland
Estuary.
Chase continues to do well on BART. He wears his tennis shoes on his back feet to
protect them when we use the escalator.
He’s also been clearing the fare gates with ease.
It’s been a little stressful getting used to a new
routine. But I’m working on it. I figure I’ll have lots of time to work it
out.
