[nagdu] Universal

Ah, yes. In that case, you do want to find other alternatives.  Sigh.  I
hear ya with the family not accepting the guide.  Since I don't have RP and
am not going blind, I definitely don't need a guide dog!  Also, That Dig is
pampered, spoiled, good for nothing and, I daresay, codependent!

I don't spend time with them, even on a duty visit, without an escape plan,
and I do *not* leave my dog unattended.

In my chosen family, the key player (DD) is very good, if slightly
overindulgent sometimes, when I hand him the leash so I can sign something
or whatever.  I trust Mitzi if I drop the leash at such times, but better
safe than sorry.  Actually, now that I think about it, we're just so in the
habit of his taking the leash -- from when my hands were too numb and clumsy
to figure it out -- that we do the exchange automatically.  /lol/  When I go
off to buy things on my own, the leash is not nearly so active.  /smile/

Have fun on your trip!

Hello
My family is not very receptive of my guide. They feel I do not need him so 
do not really want to leave him with them. Also I go on every single 
rollercoaster there is back to back so I would feel better if he was in a 
calmer environment. Am checking in to sitters for him right now but we will 
see.
Jwaa.
