[nagdu] another what would you do question

[Julie J.]

Cindy,

Yes, I think it will be possible to get a phone number for this person 
so we can talk before the weekend.  However I really do not want the 
dogs to have a meet and greet thing.   I don't think that would be helpful.

I'm giving myself another couple of days to think this through before I 
take the next step.  I need to reclaim my inner Zen again.

Thanks so much for your perspective.
Julie

> I would talk to the other person if I could. Fisher has a thing about other dogs. He seems aggressive toward them when he first meets them. Sometimes I think it is "enthusiasm." However, it doesn't go over real well, not with me and not with others. Anyway, in my case, when I know there is going to be another dog around, I am proactive and suggest that we have a formal meeting of the animals. This then defuses the situation. So would it be possible for you to contact the person and say that you are taking Monty and you are concerned that it might be good if the dogs can meet formally before the van ride begins and the weekend starts?

I have heard from more than one trusted source that the other guide dog is aggressive.   I do not know the other guide dog handler at all.  I do not know what program the dog is from.  Not going to this event is not an option.  getting there another way is an extremely remote option that I'm looking into.  Even if I do find other transportation I will be in a small hotel for the weekend where this other guide dog will also be.
