We used to have a people train, but they took it away.
I loved riding when I went from denver to Chicago.
I wasn't quite comfortable letting the folks take the dog off the 
train, because I felt as though they would let the dog do the first 
business and not give them time to do the second.
That would concern me again.
We have the buss, and I know I can get off with the smokers to let the 
dog do his chores.
I am sure we will take the buss again.
Probably after the first of the year.
I really don't like to travel over the mountain in the winter time.
Was on a buss when the buss hit a deer.
What a hard jult it was.

>> the loud speaker and said would anyone want to change seats with this
>> blind woman and her dog. I was appalled! My husband said a few choice
>> words to her and he was going to change seats when  a man next to me said
>> he would change seats. the plane was dead silence. Now i am sitting next
>> to a very large man who was taking up part of me seat and he said he
>> couldn't move over anymore. My dog was sticking out a little as she

>> isle. I explained the dog couldn't move anymore and she would see for
>> herself. She started to push my dog with her foot to get her the small
>> part of her back sticking out in move. I told her if she ever touches my
>> dog to push it again with her foot I would call the police when we land.
>> She finally left and we took off. the man next to me felt bad.
>> When we landed I am usually one of the first people off the plane but this
>> stewardess started to let people get off and they were stepping on my dog
>> who had no room. Finally a man stopped the line of people and said let
>> this lady and her guide dog get off the plane. My husband was blocked by
>> the crowd so he could help me. I finally got off . We put a formal
>> complaint in to US air. I got an apology letter and two 50 dollar vouchers
>> the next time I flew.  I have flown US air for many years and never had a

>> very good. I have met the staff that transports them.
