Comments on: Seeing Dogs: My First Children’s Book Bounding into Print http://janetshaw.com/blog/seeing-dogs-my-first-childrens-book-bounding-into-print/ Australian Author & Freelance Writer Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:20:30 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dzagbe Cudjoe http://janetshaw.com/blog/seeing-dogs-my-first-childrens-book-bounding-into-print/#comment-2221 Dzagbe Cudjoe Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:00:32 +0000 http://janetshaw.com/blog/seeing-dogs-my-first-childrens-book-bounding-into-print/#comment-2221 Many, many congratulations on the publication of your book "Seeing Dogs" and on overcoming so many obstacles. I, too, have just published my first book "Tales My Ghanaian Grandmother Told Me".http://www.strategicbookpublishing.com/TalesMyGhanaianGrandmotherToldMe.html I also am looking for a publisher for a book of short stories. One is about a puppy who decides he wants to be a guide dog after rescuing the boy next door who is blind and has limited hearing. Formerly I was a Dance and Movement Therapist and most of my work was with children who had physical and/or learning difficulties and challenging behavior. So for me it is entirely natural to include these children, who gave me such enormous pleasure, in my stories. Best of luck in the future Many, many congratulations on the publication of your book “Seeing Dogs” and on overcoming so many obstacles.

I think we all feel that when it happens. The thing is to not let it distroy your believes and dreams. I think it's great that you talk to groups about that. This way people realize that others have had the same thing and feelings too. I am ask several times how can I teach guides when I myself am a blind person. Sometimes I like to be silly and just say One Careful Step at a time!! Cannot wait to here more about your books progress.

At the time, though, it doesn't feel like an opportunity presenting itself; rather it feels like a door being slammed in your face. I often talk to groups about how the slammed doors in my life became opportunities in the hope that others won't give up when they face a slammed door. Great to hear about your perseverance in training seeing eye dogs. I will keep you informed about the book's progress through this blog.

I am so thrilled for you! You are right when somebody says you cannot do this or that because your blind is really a blessing per say because that makes us more determine to push even harder. I was told I couldn't train SD's because of my disabilities including partial. I've trained way over 25 years and have had 4 of my own dogs. Thank you for sharing this wonderful news and cannot wait for the book to come out so I could tell everybody about it. Wow that is so wonderful! I am so thrilled for you!
