[nagdu] making adjustments

[Margo and Arrow]

My dogs have all been great at revolving doors.  I think Arrow actually
thinks they are awesome, but, I do not so, therefore, we seldom use them.

Julie, my dog does the same thing. Those automatic revolving doors scare the
crap outa me, but Leno doesn't seem to mind them, at least, the couple we've
been through, and he just goes right on through. We tried to go through the
one at Children's Hospital, but Melanie and her aid talked us out of it,
much to my relief.
