[nagdu] Marion's comments to ignorant people

[Tami Kinney]

Love it! I'll have to remember to mention that one to DD and BB. /lol/
Now that we're all engaged and stuff, DD is just old-fashioned enough to
have started ordering for the little woman as a matter of course... I'm
not old-fashioned enough to not want to kick him under tablethe . /lol/
Working on that one.

I went out to lunch with a friend , her guide dog and her husband while there. she told the restaurant we need a table for 7 people and three dogs. they gave us a table with plenty of room. Its makes you feel good when everything goes smooth when you go away. On Wednesday which was my last vacation day I went with friend out to the sea port town of Greenport. Again every where I went no problems. But while standing in front of a store and my friends explaining what stores where there a man came up to Anna and started to pet her. I said in a nice way "Please don't pet my dog its working. He ignored me. I said it nicely again but in a firm voice and his comment was I like dogs. I moved Anna back a little and stood in front of him now blocking him from touching her. My friends couldn't believe it. Then we walked over to the carousel and the two ladies there couldn't have been nicer to me and Anna. I went on the Carousel and Anna went on with me. I gave her an extended leash while I was on a horse that went up and down. the ladies like us so much they offered us another ride but I had to leave to catch my bus. they told us me I was the first blind person and Anna was the first dog ever on the Carousel in Greenport.
