[nagdu] How to Take Your Pet Everywhere

[Star Gazer]

			Was it your job to control the meeting? I ask
because some organizations mean the president has real authority whereas
others do not. 
You could have asked her to leave the meeting, but probably not kicked her
out of the hotel.

I think that this is a very awkward issue.  In a former life (no, not
reincarnation), but before NFB days, I was president of a guide dog user
group.  There was a woman who had a service dog, not a guide.  Her dog was
very ill-behaved, barking at people, growling, and being a regular nuisance.
A woman came to a meeting where the other woman was with her service dog.
The little dog misbehaved, and the other woman was quite incensed, asking me
why I didn't kick her out.  I told her that it was not my place to do so.
We had to go through a whole email discussion about this, and I never did
convince her that I was correct.  She said that NFB would have kicked her
out.  I told her that the hotel had the authority to ask that the dog be
removed, but I did not.  It left a very sour taste in my mouth.  I did not,
and do not want to be the Enforcer.  If I have to be then I certainly will
do it, but it's not my place to do that just because I may 
be president.  But what say you?    Peace,    Debby and Neena
