[Flagdu] B&B

[Kathy Davis]

Sherrill, 
	When Tom and I went to California and surrounding areas a couple of
months ago, I did not tell any of the reservationists that I had a Seeing
Eye dog. I knew the law was the law. Even in this lovely b&B, we were
welcomed with open arms. 

	I attend the same church that Peter does and everyone loves our
dogs! 

Kathy

Sherrill,
The church I go to, I've never had a problem with my guide dog. In fact when
I came home with JJ two years ago, our Preacher Joe told everybody that I
was back with my new dog. I heard the entire church clapping. I've even
taken JJ to the church my GF goes to, and I had a warm reception there two.
I use JJ each and everyday. People see us just everywhere in the county. I
think the more exposure people have to our guide dogs the better.
I've heard parents tell there children more than once that the dog is a
working dog, and you can't go over to play or pet him.
So let's get our dogs out there so the public seeing a guide dog team is a
everyday thing.
