[nagdu] question

[Garry and Joy Relton]

Hi Lisa, 

I do not carry a folding or telescoping cane with me when I am using my dog.
I do often carry one in my suit case when I travel incase I want to do
something that my dog would not be comfortable doing. I rarely use it, but
sometimes it's nice to be able to take a dip in a pool when my dog won't be
lying in the hot sun. When I have done some country road work and I believed
that my dog wasn't holding her course as tightly to the side of the road as
I believe she
/he should I will carry a cane to test the closeness to the shoulder.
Generally I find the dog is confused by the use of a cane. Besides, I
generally have enough to carry and I do not believe it is useful or
necessary to carry a second mobility tool. I also, rarely take an elbow when
I'm working my dog.

Hello everyone, I had a question for all of you.  Do you carry a folding or
telescoping cane with you at all times and if so why or why not? Lisa
