[nabs-l] Advice Requested

[Jedi]

Mark,

I'm not a dog guide user, but I have an idea about the skidmarks you 
talked about. What about carrying a small pack of moist towelettes with 
you. After you pick up the junk with the bag, you could just quickly 
wipe the sidewalk. Alternatively, you could park your dog in some 
nearby grass or something.

Respectfully,
Jedi

> Hi all,



> I have a couple questions about the less glamorous aspects of guide dog
> ownership.



> As you may or may not know I recently received a guide dog. As every guide

> Suggestions, thoughts, concerns?



> Also, I haven't licensed my dog yet, I have only had him for less than 3
> weeks, and the training is not over yet, however, I have a couple of
> questions about dog licensing in the state of Massachusetts.



> 1, is it really necessary?

> 2, what county do I register him in? I live in Plymouth County, but go to
> school and spend most of my time in Suffolk County



> Thanks,
