[nagdu] pupp sitters

[Linda Gwizdak]

Ya know, Marsha, we all need to do what wee think is best for us.  Isn't 
that what "self determination" is all about? I've been to conventions and 
I'd rather see people leave their dogs on a "vacation" where they have fun 
instead of being miserable and neglected while on convention.  People forget 
to feed and park their dogs when needed and wonder why there's an accident?!

You do exactly what you feel is best for you and your dog.  Who care what 
others say - they aren't you! LOL!  And you, too, Julie.  Do what's best for 
Monty.  I had Jacob on the 2001 convention and he did great.  I tried to 
keep his feeding and park times on his schedule and we played in our room 
and he did very well. His favorite thing was trying to greet every single 
dog there!  He did have the ability to relax when we needed to.  We have to 
take our dog's personality and temporment into account when deciding things 
like bring the dog on vacation or to a convention.

Everyone, have a great convention with or without your dogs! (grin!)
