[nagdu] doggie caps and gowns

[Marsha Drenth]

Hi List, 
I will hopefully graduating from University in may. Prayers, crossed fingers, and positive thoughts are appreciated. Anyway, someone at my university asked me if I was going to have my dog during graduation. My university is very large, about 45,000  students. Graduation takes place by school within the university, and university wide. I know others on here have graduated with your guides. How has this worked for you? Any advice? Anything to do or not to do? Within talking with that person about having my pup at graduation, they asked if I was going to walk with her across the stage. Have others done that before? Any tips or tricks? And finally, as the subject line says, have any of you gotten little caps and gowns for your guide for graduation? If so, where do you get them? I do not know my universities colors. I guess I should ask. LOL This will be quite a production for me, as I will be using an interpretor, who will be in a cap and gown too, using tactual sign language, with my guide dog, accepting my diploma, and walking across the stage. 
Ok, so there are the questions, now, give me all of your wisdoem on the subject....Go!
