You can always use your vehicle's key fob and activate the horn a few blips to help as well. I do this with our Jeep, but my dog is very reliable in finding our home.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] find home
Boy my dog doesn't have any trouble finding home. All I have to do is turn around and start that way and we are going home... Now if home isn't where I need to go when I turn around I'm in trouble... It's funny about going to someone else's home. When I brought my dog home, he would follow women in the parking lot at work and if they opened a car door he thought it was for him to climb in. I can't give him much credit for his taste but we had a lot of offers to drive us home. - Original Message - From: "Lenny McHugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Blind Handyman" Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 8:11 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] find home > The comment about a guide dog not finding home but every home in the block > prompted me to post this.

[BlindHandyMan] find home
The comment about a guide dog not finding home but every home in the block prompted me to post this. Incidentally my new guide Micah who I sometimes call clueless can't find home. A friend recently had to retire her guide. Where she lives she has a major problem finding her home. She knew that she was on the correct street but a very long sidewalk around the development gave no clue to her home. Her husband purchased a wireless door bell that has a fairly long range. When she thinks that she is near her home the doorbell on the porch guides her home. As forgetting lost I read on a list that one guy was quite ingenious. He has a good friend who is a cab driver. Being a cab driver he is familiar with every part of town. When this guy gets lost he uses his camera phone to take some pictures and emails them to the cabby. The guy then calls his friend and tells him where he is and how to get back. Don't know if anyone on list can use these ideas but it is something to ponder over.
