[nagdu] Disclosing guide dog?

[Lemieux, Shawn N]

Daryl,

I travel a lot for work and I am not a fan of surprise we need to check with our supervisors who are not there at 3 in the morning when I am checking in. I almost always tell them ahead of time that way if there is a problem it can be dealt with ahead of time.
Just my two cents.

Hi, all,

Quesiton for you.

I have posted before that my husband and myself, along with Jenny, are going on a trip to Montana in a few weeks.  I doublechecked my reservation confirmation email from the hotel, and right at the bottom, it says no pets.

Now, I realize Jenny is not a pet... we all know this.  I am debating whether or not to disclose the fact that she is my guide dog now, or wait until we arrive at the hotel.  Does anyone have any advice?  I realize I am not obligated to notify the hotel, but I don't want to wind up stranded in Montana and having to pay for alternate accommodations (worst-case scenario, I know).   We have stayed at this hotel before and had a wonderful experience, but this was before I trained with Jenny.

I would love any opinions!

Daryl
