[nagdu] NFB Convention Guide Dog Policy

[Albert J Rizzi]

Rox,

I never thought about putting the do not disturb sign on the door. I love
that and will be using it going forward. that would certainly curtail  my
concerns about housekeeping going in and finding a bit more in the room then
they anticipated.

I just returned from the American Association of the Deafblind  
conference.  I left my dog for about an hour or so to go swimming.  I  
put the do not disturb sign on the door, and she was quiet the entire  
time-- my neighbor didn't hear a thing.
I would agree that if a dog destroys or damages property in the room  
that it is the handler's responsibility to pay for that, just as they  
would if it was themselves, or their child.  Laveau didn't do anything  
but lay by the door and wait while I was gone.
I couldn't have gone swimming if I had been forced to take her with me.
It is important to know your dog and to be sure he/she can handle  
being alone, but if a person is responsible, and if the person  
addresses and resolves any complaints so that they don't happen again,  
I don't see the issue here.

taste good with ketchup.
