[nagdu] air line question

[d m gina]

No I will know next time not to share about the dog.
I won't appaulogize for this,
I did what I thought I needed to do.
I know now, don't know when the next time I will fly, where I will 
remember this.
Thanks so much.

>> Hello,
>> yesterday while making the tickets for the convention, one of the
>> questions after I shared I have a guide dog.
>> Was, how much does the dog weigh, and what kind of dog is it.
>> We are flying united.
>> Going and coming.
>> Do the schools get asked the same questions for each dog that goes home
>> with us after training?
>> Is this to make sure that the plane can handle all of the weight for the
>> plane, asking anyone who has a dog?
>> I felt frustrated, did answer all questions.
>> We were told if there were any more questions they would call back.
>> We used an agency here in town.
>> Thanks again,
