Hi, I say use your cane, anything when everybody is submitted that they are okay with the dog then slowly start bringing the dog into class. Hope this helps.

Much to my delight, they said yes.
> This past Tuesday, I went there to fill out some paperwork for volunteering with them. Standard stuff, like conducting a background check, among other things. The director said she would be in contact with the families to see if any of the children have allergies to dogs before my dog Ditra can enter the rooms; I'm perfectly fine with that, and it is understandable. I went over yesterday immediately after the dog's annual appointment to give paperwork indicating the dog's vaccinations are up to date, and was told by someone there that not all of the families have responded yet regarding the dog. What I failed to do tuesday, (and this only just occurred to me, so I'm mentally kicking myself for it), is tell the director that I can travel just as independently with the cane as I can with a dog, and the dog doesn't always have to be there with me. In reality, she might not always be there with me due to illness, retirement, whatever. So all that being said, here is my predicament:
> Do I call or email her Monday to let her know about the cane, or do I wait until she hears back from the rest of the families? I feel using the cane in the beginning will at least help me learn the layout of the building better at first, so I can direct the dog later on when I'm given clearance to bring her near the children. at the same time, I don't want to sound desperate, if you know what I mean.
