  I'm writing my next blog post on things to think about before getting your first guide dog. I've got a few things already noted down such as, checking out multiple schools, making sure O&M skills are good, asking the question would a guide dog enhance my life at this moment, etc. I'm reaching out to see what I might be missing.
