Wayne,

I think you could get the pet tags if you wish, but the reality is that your
dog is a guide dog.  No pet tags are required.  It is, I think, important to
send a message by example that guid dogs can go wherever the public is
invited.  NO SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS NEED BE MADE.

I'm thinking I would take her tomorrow evening, be sure I have hold of her,
haveall of the rest of her credentials available, and then assure any
officials who question her being there that  you will, indeed, go get the
appropriate tags on Monday.

Greetings. Sorry for the short notice. I talked with my parents
earlier who are already in Florida. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. They
mentioned that pets need to get tags from a specific office in order
to go on the beach. I know that guide dogs arent' pets, but does
anyone know if I need to worry about this with my guide, or will the
harness be enough to convince any officials on the beach? We talked
about taking my dog with us to the beach perhaps tomorrow evening to
see how she reacts and then decide if we need to do anything with her
the rest of the week. However, since the "tag office" for lack of a
better phrase isn't open till Monday morning, if we do need tags then
we wouldn't be able to take her tomorrow. She has a microchip ID on
her collar that we got last fall when in training, and I've of course
got an ID card for her proving that she's a guide dog. Thoughts?

Wayne
