[nagdu] Diabetic alert dogs and how alert dogs arepreventing aneed for a guide dog!

Hi Sheila,
Wow! I don't know what you are talking about since the thread isn't there. 
(grin) I'm not being snarky, I really don't know what you are referring to - 
me judging and stuff.  Maybe it was someone else?

I don't have a problem if stuff happens and the dogs get up on the wrong 
side of the dog bed.  If people correct the dogs, hey, no problem.  I DO 
have a problem if a person fails to correct their dog time after time.  I've 
gone to many conventions and see the occassional spat between dogs.  It 
happens.  The dogs are under stress at thesse things.  Hey, if Landon gets 
too intimate with another dog and that dog objects, well, I tell Landon to 
mind his business and served him right. LOL!

These dogs of ours are dogs first, guides second and they will act like 
dogs.  but we all have to do our best to keep them under control and i do 
think most folks do this and most dogs are cool.

In my posts, I talked about service dogs and about vests and stuff.  If you 
and yoour friend's dogs behaved, no problem.  I just don't understand the 
thread about this St. Bernard dog at a conference or meeting and growling 
took place.  You didn't do anythiing.  I try not to judge folks - notice 
try.  I'm human - LOL.  The thread seemeed to morph into a discussion about 
emotional support dogs without vests and not well behaved and that is what I 
have posted about.  No worries.

BTW, I was at our CCB convention this past weekend and hardly saw many 
dogs - it was the smallest convention I ever attended.  All the dogs were 
nice and I didn't hear any spats.
