Marsha, 

I too have to chime in to support your decision and admire you for making
it. Sometimes it's just easier not to take the dog to some places, long or
short term. An experienced dog will remember its job and with some patience
when you get back, the dog will go right back to its routine. 

I think I'd rather see people make the decision to leave a dog than to be
totally stressed, and hence have a totally stressed dog, at conventions or
other events. In the end though it's a very personal choice. Asking what
motivates some people to make it though can help others to do the same at
other times.

Emma is an experienced guide, has traveled with me to several conventions,
Washington seminars, and other events. But the convention is stressful on
me, much less Emma. I frankly do not wish to subject her to that sort of
stress, if need be. It is not that she can't handle the stress, but I choose
for her not too. The puppy sitter I will be leaving her at, has other pups,
who were to be guides but because of health reasons can't. Emma will have a
great time, and be able to relax and have fun playing.   

Sorry if anyone thinks that is strange or horrible of me. But this is my
choice, and my guide.

Subject: [nagdu] pupp sitters

Hello listers,

 

In a little over a week, my guide will be staying with a pup sitter while I
attend the national convention. The pup sitter is a former sitter for the
school I received my pup from. She will be watching Emma for 10 days. So
here is my question, What is the going rate for kenneling a pup? Or for pup
sitters? I have explained to her that I am by no means rich, but would like
to pay her something. Kenneling is very expensive, so I know it has to be
way under that. Any ideas please let me know. If you feel more comfortable
emailing me off list, please do at marsha.drenth at gmail.com 

 

Thank you,

marsha
