[nagdu] Emotional Support Dog Article

Aaron,

Yeah, figuring out which law is which and which apply and when takes awhile.
/grin/  Then you decide to fly somewhere and have to learn all the TSA stuff
in case you need it...  /lol/  Or at least try.  My first airplane trip with
Mitzi had some unexpected bumps in the form of ssecurity agents at the gates
where we changed planes...  Good grief.  I hadn't done my homework well
enough to do more than wonder what the bleep was going on.  I don't know
that being able to quote chapter and verse at that point would have helped
all that much, but I would have felt better if I could have pulled it off.
/grin/

Hi all.

I realize that the ADA doesn't apply, but what I didn't realize is
that the FHA had a provision for emotional support animals.  Learn
something new...  I had thought that the judge was reading more into
the law than what was there.  My mistake.

I just hope that this doesn't happen too often, because while this
tenet may have won in the court of law, the court of public opinion is
much less certain.
