[nagdu] Retired Guides; Do the same access laws apply?

[Debby Phillips]

I agree.  When Lamar retired, some people said I should keep his 
harness so he could go with us out to dinner and stuff.  I was 
tempted, because he would work well in those situations.  He just 
didn't want to do anything very difficult.  If all he had to do 
was walk in to a restaurant and make sure I didn't bump into 
stuff, he probably would have done that well.  But I had some 
qualms about it, so when Jann Abbot came out to work with us and 
it was apparent that he should retire, I gave her his harness to 
take back to the school.  There were times when it would have 
been nice to have him with me, even though he really didn't want 
to work anymore, except just to go with Craig and me.  On the 
other hand, it made it cleaner just to retire him.  But I sure 
missed his company.  But now I have a happy dog who loves to 
work, and comes, tail wagging to my side.  And Lamar is always 
ready at the door to greet us when we come home, tail wagging.  
We call it helicopter tail, because his tail goes round and 
round.  Lol.    Peace,    Debby and Neena
