[nagdu] relieving or dressing first was expectations oftheblind & guidedogprograms'admission standards

[S L Johnson]

Hi,

I had that same thing happen at this year's convention.  I left general 
session and I asked a sighted person if I was walking toward the correct 
door so I could take Eva out.  Well, it was a door but, it was the wrong 
door.   I got outside to find no dog relief area and the door was locked. 
It was horribly hot and Eva and I roasted while I walked around the building 
to find an unlocked door.  Obviously not all the sighted folks knew how to 
give proper directions.  That is why I say we need many many more trained 
volunteers.

Sandra and Eva

Oh, that is funny, Julie! The situation these dogs get us in!
Lol.  A few years ago I was at a conference, and they told us
that a certain door was always unlocked, and that we could
relieve our dogs outside this door.  So Lamar and I hustled out
at the end of the day of the conference.  Lamar did his business,
and led me back to the door.  Well, they were wrong, the door did
lock.  There I was with no key to get in, (my room key didn't
work on that door).  The worst part was that now I needed to do
my thing.  There's nothing worse than not being able to get to a
bathroom.  Lol.  Somebody from our group happened to walk by the
door I was at, and let me in.  I had just decided before that
that I would have to walk around the building to the front to get
in.  Glad I didn't have to do that.    Debby and Nova
