Cane travel exercises are NOT Pope's favorite activity. Most places we go without the cane. But when your vision is as low as Pope's vision, the cane is a terrific and very useful tool. We decided, since Pope was already 3 years old when we adopted him, that he should begin using the cane right away. However, this has taken a lot of work on our part, since we still don't have an O&M instructor for Pope. Mike taught me how to use a cane and I'm teaching Pope, or at least trying to teach Pope.
This is Pope in March, getting the feel of the cane for the first time.
It seems the best places to work with Pope is outside. Here's Pope using his cane at the carwash in July.
Here's Pope today. He's really getting the "sweep" technique down. But he grouched about it the entire time!
