[nagdu] dogs and canes

[Dan Weiner]

But wait, folding cane, what herecy--lol 

I'm kidding of course, but when I was at convention last year one of the
more assertive cane users and I got to talking and he said that in quotes a
folding cane isn't recommendable.
He said and I quote "you wouldn't want to fold your dog up, would you?"

I found that rather funny though it wasn't really anything that made sense,
I explained that my dog doesn't fold but I do try to keep him out of harm's
way.
Anyway to each his own I suppose, I find a folding cane convenient and there
are folding canes that are pretty durable, whereas sometimes the carbon
fiber or fiberglass? Cane can be stepped on and though it's a straight cane,
once it's broken it tends to be of limited use.

Best Thursday morning to all.

Hi Jack thanks for your message.  I agree that people should be aware that
there is a service dog in the area around them.  
Whenever I take my cane somewhere I always fold it up and keep it next to me
so that no one trips on it.
