    Thats fab! My neighbours guide dog loads and unloads the washing machine for him, athough he soon realised not to put the dog bowl near the washer unless he wanted meat scented clothes!

    it could be anything from weeks to 18 months. its whenever a 'match' comes up.
    to be honest, i'm happy to wait as long as it takes!
    knowing that it is going to happen at some point is good enough. :)

    I used to work with blind people at RNIB, and when they were in their offices their dogs could be "off duty". They were really delightful doggies :)
