[nagdu] Going to Jail

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

If the situation came up for me, I would certainly think about it first
along the same lines.  Who knows what might happen to my sweet precious?
/smile/

I'm not sure what I would ultimately decide, though.  I know me well enough
to know I would think about what might happen to my sweet precious self,
too, then remind myself that I watch too much TV and that odds of something
dramatic happening are really very slim...  /grin/  Which doesn't mean I
wouldn't want to have a plan in place for every fictional scenario I've ever
seen/heard.  That's just me, though.  /lol/

Didn't someone -- I think it was Albert, but I may be wrong -- visit a
prison a while ago and end up doing some educating with the staff there?
Sorry I can't remember the details, but the staff had some concerns about
the dog and he (?) ended up talking to a supervisor and getting everything
straightened out.  Sorry I can't come with more detail than that off hand.
I seem to remember that one of the issues the staff brought up had to do
with the guard dogs at the prison...  

It will be interesting to see how things work out!

I wouldn't bring my dog to a prison, just because i'd be afraid of what
could happen to him!
