[NAGDU] Workshops?

[Daryl Marie]

Hi, Tracy,

Good questions! I think what I will do is go with my cane to scope out the place the first time I go, just so I have an idea of what I`ll be dealing with. That way I can probably make a more informed decision. Jenn`s more apt to sniff than scavenge these days, and I can put her on tie-down in a corner if I need to. :)

You know your dog. Krokus is always ready to lick the floor or pick up
something, so I would leave him home in such a place, or find some place
far away from the chemicals to tie him up.
Likewise if I'm moving around from table to table, using tools and such, I
might find a cane to be more convenient than my dog.
Don't pass up the opportunity, but consider whether you want to just bring
the cane, or perhaps park the dog in a quiet corner, if there is one, and
use the cane to walk around the room. Or perhaps use the dog, if you feel
she would be safe.
