[nagdu] Getting A Dog

[Julie J.]

Larry,

The boxes Cheryl is talking about are at national convention.  The state 
conventions usually don't have the boxes.

At a national convention there are 2-3 hundred guide dogs.  If they were 
all left to use the grass wherever it could damage the lawn.  The boxes 
are a courtesy to the hotel  They are changed frequntly throughout the 
week to keep them clean and fresh.

HTH
Julie
