>Dear NAGDU,



>Hello to those on the list.  My name is Darlene.  Although I have 
been an
>observer of your mailing list for quite some time, this is my 
first time
>that I write to you.  So--hello! In addition, I write to tap your 
expertise
>with an inquiry.



>First, Please allow me to introduce myself.  Not to give 
preference, but I am
>a graduate of Southeastern Guide Dog School in Florida, and I 
have been a
>guide dog user, since 1992.  Recently, I retired my second guide 
dog Petey,
>who is a beautiful and intelligent Goldador that I worked for 8 
and ½ years,
>and I just began working my new guide dog Maggie, who is also a 
Goldador.



>I write because I encountered a new experience in a restaurant 
and would
>appreciate any information or input you can give.  While being 
seated at
>Garfields, the waitress informed me.  Due to fire marshal 
regulations, my
>guide dog was not allowed to lay beside my chair, in the aisle 
way at the
>table.  It just so happened that I was with a guide dog trainer 
and neither
>of us had ever heard of this before.  So, we are researching it.  
I plan to
>contact my local fire marshal's office next week.  But, 
Meanwhile, I wanted
>to ask for your input.  Have any of you heard of this? Marion, 
since you also
>live in Florida, perhaps you have information for our state on 
this
>subject.  Furthermore, my trainer and I discussed how this could 
lead to
>problems for guide dog handlers, since many dogs are too large to 
fit
>underneath tables or booths.



>Thanks to NAGDU for offering this portal to gain advice and input 
so that we
>can learn from each other, and I welcome your comments, on this 
issue.



>Thanks in advance,



>Darlene
