_snort_

I just re-read my last post and noticed that I wrote “site” pretty much everywhere that “sight” should’ve been.

\<lament\> Look at what the Internet has done to me! \</lament\>

**Scarlett** the one on TV had some kind of leash/harness set up so that the two dogs could easily trot side by side. It was pretty cool, they worked in unison as if they were one great, big dog with eight legs.

Anyway, people at school were so rude to her, (she had one of those white canes) they would jump over her cane or point at her, make fun of her, etc. Later in college she got a guide dog and people there were so much more kind. It is amazing to see how people treat those with diabilities. \*\*

God, that is so terrible. A good friend of mine in high school was blind since birth (so was one of her older brothers, so it must have been genetic, although I know that neither of her parents were), and no one gave her any problems. More like, we were all insanely impressed with her ability to know exactly where every stair and corner in the school were. She took honors and AP classes and never let her disability stop her from doing exactly what she wanted to do.
