From the editor: Hello fellow GDUISters
Here we are mostly through month one of 2021 and things may not seem all that different from the end of 2020, however, I feel rays of sunshine through the clouds. First, while not a perfect execution, vaccines are available. Next, within the first three weeks of this newly minted year 2 very cool things occurred. A palindromic date (12021) was followed immediately by the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century… I say that is good mojo! Speaking of good mojo, I have a personal story to share. It goes to the point that we never know how when or where a chance encounter, conversation, or comment will be the small pebble that makes a big ripple. A few years ago, I spent an afternoon with the mother-in-law of a dear friend. She, the mother-in-law, is from England, and, after acting as my sighted guide for an outing to a local coffee shop, upon returning to her home across the pond she made Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (GDBA) her special charity. When she recently shared this with me, it brought tears to my eyes. I have always understood that sharing my experiences with others may increase awareness, however, this example is so personal and direct an illustration of such.
Now, read on for a message from our fabulous, lady president, interesting announcements and cool articles. Keep your leash loose and your shoulders back!
Sending cyber hugs and wags, Andrea and Mr. A
From the President: Hello GDUI members and friends!
I want to wish both two and four legged GDUI members and friends a very happy and healthy New Year!
We have already stepped into 2021; the Covid vaccine is being distributed and spring is just around the corner, giving us hope and encouragement that we may slowly regain a bit of normalcy one step at a time.
GDUI held an informative community call on revised Aircraft Carrier Access Act (ACAA), along with the two attestation forms developed by the Department of Transportation (DOT), traveling by air with a service animal. Other informative community calls are in the planning process.

This year GDUI will have a few director positions open to serve on the board of directors. Please consider volunteering- apply and help GDUI continue to grow! After all, this organization has grown to our current size through the actions and volunteerism of guide dog handlers like you injecting your personal experience, knowledge and voice in building GDUI to where it is today. New ideas, experiences and personalities will ensure GDUI continues to grow!

Helping Teachers of the Visually Impaired
This has been a hard year for teachers, and we’re more aware than ever of the minimal resources both teachers and their students have access to. When it comes to teachers of blind or visually impaired students (TVIs), the lack of resources is even more apparent.
National Braille Press is looking to develop a new program that will provide braille resources directly to TVIs but we need your help to determine which resources are needed most!
We want to hear from:
- TVIs
- Orientation & Mobility Instructors
- Paraprofessionals
- Classroom Teachers
- Anyone who works with blind or visually impaired students.
Your feedback is critical to helping us develop a new program! Please take the time to share your experience by completing this brief survey, and sharing it with others:

Send Lunar New Year Cheer with a Card from Adaptations
Photo Caption: The Lunar New Year tactile greeting card, a red and yellow Chinese lantern with the words Happy New Year in English and Braille
Are you ready to celebrate the first day of the new year? Lunar New Year that is.
Lunar New Year is the beginning of a calendar year where the months are cycles of the moon and is celebrated in many East and South Asian countries. In San Francisco, where LightHouse is headquartered, Lunar New Year has been celebrated by the Chinese American community since the 1860s. There are twelve Chinese Zodiac signs, each one being an animal. Each lunar year is assigned an animal in a repeating twelve-year cycle. This Lunar New Year, which falls on February 12 on the Gregorian calendar, is the Year of the Ox. The ox symbolizes attributes such as confidence and determination.
This year, our Adaptations Store https://lighthouse-sf.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f40e17a83bbae60b5969a0798&id=9e59e2a113&e=d4dd5f649a>
is selling a Lunar New year tactile greeting card, designed in-house by our Media and Accessible Design Lab https://lighthouse-sf.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f40e17a83bbae60b5969a0798&id=7b696aa231&e=d4dd5f649a>.
On the front is a Red Paper Lantern with red tassels, emblazoned in gold with the Chinese character “fu” (meaning good fortune). The card reads “Happy New Year” on the front, and “Wishing you happiness and good fortune” on the inside. The card is 5.5 by 8.5 inches and comes with an envelope.
Order your Lunar New Year card online at Adaptations.org https://lighthouse-sf.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f40e17a83bbae60b5969a0798&id=92d2eb38bc&e=d4dd5f649a>

Article: Ice cream for dogs? Even pets are eating their pandemic feelings.
Ben & Jerry’s debuts super-premium ice cream treats for dogs
By: Laura Reiley
Jan. 15, 2021
(excerpted from
Ben & Jerry’s announced the debut of Doggie Desserts. Rosie’s Batch was named after precious, pup, Rosie, who lives with Sarah from Ben & Jerry’s consumer insights department.
We’ve reached peak pet. There’s really nowhere else to go. Animal shelters are out of dogs. Tech conventions are debuting cat exercise equipment and, more creepily, headless, robotic lap cats with very swishy tails.
How do we know we’ve planted our flag at the pinnacle of pet obsession? One of the best-known premium ice cream companies has gone to the dogs. Ben & Jerry’s this week announced the debut of Doggie Desserts: four-ounce cups of mostly nondairy frozen treats, one featuring pumpkin with cookies and another with peanut butter and pretzels. It’s nondairy because some dogs, like some people, don’t tolerate lactose well; the base is sunflower seed butter, the same as Ben & Jerry’s nondairy frozen confections for humans. And therein is the essence. During the pandemic, ice cream sales have surged. Over the 52 weeks ending Sept. 6, in-home ice cream expenditures were up 13.4 percent and unit sales increased by 8.4 percent, according to data from Chicago-based market research firm IRI.
Creamy, frozen treats have provided succor during these difficult times. And we want man’s best friend to be right there with us on the couch, eating our feelings.
A spice boom has left manufacturers scrambling, and packaging materials can’t keep up
The urge to anthropomorphize and accessorize the animals we live with has gained steam. Between 2013 and 2019, pet stuff has been one of the fastest-growing spending categories, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Expenditure Surveys. In 2013, we spent about the same on our pets ($57.8 billion) as we did on alcohol ($55.8 billion). By 2019, we spent $13.5 billion more on our pets than on alcohol: $90 billion to alcohol’s $76.5 billion. We also spent more than twice as much on our pets as we did on major appliances, fresh fruit or tobacco products that year. Spending on dog treats alone has jumped 44 percent from 2015 to 2020, with pet owners spending $5.5 billion on them last year, according to data firm Euromonitor.
This is not news to Ben & Jerry’s, and its parent company, Unilever, a titan in the ice cream business. (Its brands dominate the freezer aisle: Magnum, Breyers, Klondike, Talenti, Good Humor and Popsicle.) There have been ice creams for dogs in the past — Frosty Paws, Pooch Creamery, Dairy Queen offers a Pup Cup and Starbucks whips up Puppuccinos so you can watch them scoot the cup around the floor — but this represents the first nonhuman foray into the “super-premium” category. Lindsay Bumps, global marketing specialist for Ben & Jerry’s and a certified veterinary nurse, says the idea for the product surfaced last February, right before the pandemic reached the United States. We have too much beer (and soda, and seltzer), and not enough cans. “Treats are such a big category. I might go to the vet with my dog and he did so great I want to take him for a Pup Cup,” she said (companion: a French bulldog named Spock). “It normally takes about 12 months to launch a product, but we had to adjust our ways of working, because we all started working from home.” Nonetheless, the project entailed a flavor guru (her companion: a Great Pyrenees named Boone who prefers the pumpkin flavor), the innovation team, a nutrition consultant, a regulatory consultant and lengthy negotiations over flavors and size. Then there was the focus-grouping: According to Bumps, in ordinary times, the Ben & Jerry’s Vermont headquarters has an average of 40 “Canine to Fivers” on premise any given day. Still, these work-from-home dogs weighed in. Cat owners are restive now. What about us? According to Bumps, dogs have receptors for sweet like humans, while cats do not. Sweet feline folderol would be lost on them.
Bumps suggests trying the product out slowly on pooches, scooping a little into a bowl to see how it is digested. There are no verboten ingredients, such as chocolate or coffee, but it’s still a good idea to take it slow. She says more flavors will probably be added down the pike. The treats — offered in mini-cups or multipacks priced between $2.99 and $4.99 — will debut next week but won’t be located in the B & J section next to Cherry Garcia or Chunky Monkey. They will be in the frozen “novelties” section next to bars and ice cream sandwiches. Might a human eat them by mistake? “They are very clearly for dogs, with dog tags for the flavor names,” Bumps says, and the stories of the flavors’ namesakes, Ben & Jerry’s staff dogs Pontch and Rosie, on the back. But what if you accidentally grabbed a cup for yourself? “You can absolutely eat them. I’ve tried,” Bumps says. “They are delicious.”
