[nagdu] Guide dog injured on escalator

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Dan,

I was wondering the same thing. /smile/  The mental image that popped into
my head at the phrase is quite amusing!  /grin/

Meghan, do tell!  Does that mean you pick your dog up and rest her on your
hip?  Mitzi is about the same weight, but I'm too wimpy to accomplish that.
Wish I could!  I've learned to tell how the escalator is moving and where it
is by the rail, but I'm clueless how to know when one reaches the end of a
moving sidewalk.  Hm...

I haven't decided for future reference whether I would use a moving sidewalk
or under which conditions.  Mitzi likes to zip along and weave me deftly
through the crowds; I like zipping and weaving along with her!  Then again,
since these things are usually found in airports, I can see myself in a
hurry but needing a rest more than I need the exercise.

Put her on your hip?  How on earth do you do that?

I was told that moving sidewalks aren't as safe for dogs as the escalators. 
It's hard to know when you're reaching the end, so hard to know when to get
the dog to jump off.  I put Kirby on my hip if I unexpectedly end up on a
moving sidewalk.  Of course, she's only 45 pounds, so that's doable...
