[nagdu] questions about having a guide dog

[Ed Meskys]

I have been on an airplane up to 7 hours, and then did not seek immediate 
relief for my dog. If you restrict food and water before and during a trip, 
a healthy dog can hold it quite a while. I have left my dog with friends up 
to two weeks while on a long trip where the dog would be very uncomfortable. 
One dog had rather bad diarrhea the first day, but the others did fine. I 
have hassles about entering a restaurant about once a year, but it is very 
upsetting when it does happen. Usually this happened in oriental 
restaurants, or in fast food places where the teen-age employees were not 
properly oriented.
