[nagdu] Golf Carts was RE: guide dogs in hotels

[Nicole Torcolini]

At the college that I attended, they had a golf cart service for students
with disabilities. There was another student who was blind and had a guide
dog who was in my same year, and we had some classes together. One time his
ride arrived to pick him up from class before mine did, so we decided to
just all get on the same cart. I rode in front with the driver and Lexia,
and the other student rode on the back with his dog.
I was not on the cart when this one happened, but, according to story, the
dog who belonged to the other student sat down on the gas pedal once.

Hey Jack, how does your dog like riding on the golf cart? My previous dog
loved it.  I didn't plan golf, but for a few years, my husband and I
traveled to southern California for the winter.  
We lived in an RV park called Desert Trails.  It was a great place, and we
had a wonderful time there.  My mom moved there too, and we would ride
around the park with her on her golf cart.  
Lamar thought that was great!

A funny thing happened one day.  We got over to The Hall, where most
activities happen and my mom decided to run inside to check on something.
She forgot to lock the golf cart in place.  Lamar needed to reposition
himself, and when he did he hit the gas pedal.  All of a sudden the cart
started moving.  I had visions of us smashing into stuff.  I shrieked for
help, and people came running from all directions.  Lol.  It was pretty
funny.  
Meanwhile, Lamar just laid there on the floor like nothing 
strange was happening at all.  Lol.    Peace,    Debby
