>> Well, there was a general rudeness at the convention regarding phones. They were being used in meetings; people don't seem to have regard for appropriate phone etiquette. . Also, I do think we all have to remember that the convention is a really stressful time for users and for dogs; we should all take care to have our dogs under control and be paying strict attention to them. They may do things you would have never expected if they were at home.
