[nagdu] My first NFB convention with 101 dogs

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi Debbie,
Unfortunately, I am not going to be in Dallas this year. But, I have been to
the last three NFB Conventions. Pascal, my guide dog is a big flirt too. I
will usually let him say "hi" to dogs we see on a normal basis. But, at
Conventions, there are so many dogs and it's best to keep your dog under
control. Some handlers and dog don't like to let their dogs sniff each
other. In fact, at my first National Convention, someone's dog went after
Pascal. 
I will usually make some new friend's who have guide dogs, or re-connect
with old friend's. And we set up some time for our dog's to play. Take some
toys to keep your dog occupied and get some exercise. Conventions can be
bery stressful, so the dog's need an outlet. 
Hope that helps.
Have fun!
Deanna and Pascals

Hi all This will be my first NFB nationAl convention and there will be lots
of guide dogs there , my Cagney loves to kiss other dogs and I am wondering
what her conduct should be around other guide dogs. She is very sweet, never
barks, low key but she is a flirt if the other dog comes toward her.  Is a
little kiss ok or should I try to stop her if she try's go kiss the other
dog   Debbie Eifler.
