After talking with his brother Criss felt down he hated not seeing and having Jenny following him around didn't make him feel any better. "So Criss what do you want to do now?"Jenny asked. "Hide" he said. "Come on Criss I know you don't like this"Jenny stated. "You're loving this being my seeing eye dog"Criss replied. "Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos that's unfair to say" Jenny remarked. "I'm sorry it just that I'm scared that I'm not going to see again" he said with his head hung low. "Criss how about I teach you to use your other senses so if you do lose your sight you can live with out help"she suggested. "Like what?"he asked. "How about not tripping over Hammie". "All right I'm your student teach me"Criss stated.

"All right Criss take off your shoes and follow my voice". Criss took off his shoes and started to walk when Criss banged into something. "That hurt". "Criss you may have your room laid out in your head but things changed like someone forgetting to push in a chair"Jenny stated. Then Criss stubbed his toes. "Or someone forgetting to put away the ping pong table". Then Criss tripped. "Or leaving a cane on the ground". Criss got up. "You did that on purpose!"he called out. "You bet your greek butt I did," picking up the cane. "Criss you have to rely on touch, smell and hearing if you don't want to end up trading Hammie in for a seeing eye dog". "All right and I'm sorry for screaming at you"he replied. "All right Criss now let's try again but I'm going to change it on you"Jenny remarked. After a few hours Criss was catching on. "You ready for the final exam?"Jenny inquired. "Go"Criss replied. "All right follow my voice and come to me"Jenny called out.

Criss started to walk to Jenny he used his hands to feel where the chair was. "That great Criss" as he pushed in it. Then he used his foot and felt a pair of shoes. Criss went to the side and missed them. "Good now for the ultimate challenge". She put Hammie in Criss's way. Criss got half way but he stepped over Hammie. "How I do?"Criss asked. "Congratulation Criss but how did you know Hammie was in your way?" Jenny asked. "I could hear him purring" as Jenny smiled.
