[Cindy Ray]

Oh, they don't have a problem with him being there, but the space in the blood mobiles is narrow, I'll grant that. Always before when I've given he's been right there with me.

>> Well, I think I'll bring up a new issue just for grins. Let's imagine you are going to give blood one day. Let's imagine that you are planning to give blood at this blood drive. OK, I don't have to imagine this because I am. I haven't been able to give for a couple of times because of an infected tooth, but that's TMI. So I am truly looking forward to it. My phone rang, and the lady on the other end of the line identified herself, and she was from the blood center. She said, "I understand you are planning to gie blood at the Westminster Blood Drive.

I told her the fact that she assumed I wouldn't figure out the best place for my dog was rather annoying. She said she was sorry, she had just wanted to make it better and guessed she had not. Before anybody tells me I might have been more tactful, I would say that they would be right, but I think after you've used a dog six months or less, and especially after twenty-two years, you are likely to know how to handle the dog in a tight situation.
