[nagdu] always taking the dog was guide dogs

Well, a party town does require a party dog, I guess. /grin/  I'm getting to
the point where I should have enough energy and freedom from pain -- and
maybe even enough spare change -- to go out and enjoy some of the cool city
stuff.  Farmers markets, parades, hikes and bides, stuff like that.  I think
Mitzi will have a lot of fun, too, which is great because otherwise most of
the stuff I want to do would be heinously stressful.  In crowds of happy
springtime Portlanders (we all pop up like brightly colored mushrooms when
the sun shines!), her happy hussy mode will serve us both well.  /grin/
Don't know if I'll get to camping this year, but day trips are on the
schedule!

Jeanette,

I'm lucky because I live here in New Orleans and can introduce things  
like parades to the dog fairly quickly  We have lots of parades here--  
they're not just for Mardi Gras.  I want the dog to understand from  
the get-go that this is something that is part of working and I really  
try to make it fun.

While in the french quarter; I kept off of streets which I know to be  
unsafe for both human and dog; Bourbon street is one such, especially  
during Carnival.  Otherwise Laveau has been to so many parades that  
it's old news and she loves sitting up and watching the floats go buy  
and getting beads.  The St. Patrick's day parade is next week and I'm  
excited.  It's my second favorite parade of the year!
