[nagdu] Student with dog allergy

[Cindy Ray]

If the individual has a severe allergy, no matter how well groomed Lava is won't matter. It isn't the hair, it is the dander, and that's a given. I think for the time being what you are considering doing is your best shot. Have you had the opportunity to visit with the student about it?

I think I will crate her in the office with several dog lovers and see how it goes! I will encourage them to interact with her if she winds are gets anxious and will check on her whenever we have a break. If that does not work Monday morning, I will figure out a different solution for the rest of the week.
