[nagdu] NFB Convention Guide Dog Policy

[Albert J Rizzi]

Thanks Steven,

I am not at all sure how the u.s. constitution  worked it's way into the
dialogue, but either way, cooler heads need to prevail. Many of us need to
also understand that text in and of itself cannot convey emotion, well let
me say that in most instances we all of us tend to lend the worst possible
emotion to words when they are not our own or in agreement with our own.

Ouch!  I am going to chime in here as the attacks are becoming personal and
although I am not the moderator, the moderator does see these posts, and you
may want to refrain from personal attacks.  Just a thought.  It's a good
discussion, and let's keep it that way.

Steve

Carl, FYI, Mr. Rizzi --the public spirited fellow -- thinks the U.S.
Constitution says he can leave his guide dog in his hotel room without a
babysitter and NAGDU can't stop him. The woman from Pawpower agrees with
Rizzi. - Emails below.

Importance: High

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.

Do not meddle in the affaires of dragons, for you are crunchy and  
taste good with ketchup.
