[NAGDU] Amusement Parks: Whether or Not to Leave Guide Dog at Home

[Jody ianuzzi]

In six months you have definitely bonded with your dog. I would have no problems at all and having your mom feed her at her regular meal times.

> Thank you, Jody. I am thinking that I will do that, as my mom is extremely trustworthy. This brings me to another question: Demi would be left for probably about 10 hours altogether. I could plan her meals so that my mom would not be feeding her, but because of the time of day when this event will take place, her meals would be at very different times than usual. As we all know, it is a very bad idea to allow others to feed our guides unless absolutely necessary, and I don't like the idea of my mom feeding her for me, especially since I have only had Demi for under six months. Which would be worse, in your opinions: Allowing my mother to feed my dog her evening meal on that day or having Demi wait for her dinner until possibly 9 or 10 PM? I want to do what is best for my dog, and if going to this event so soon after getting her could jeopardize our bond, I will decline.

I think the would do fine for the animal shows because she has been to fair and proven to be very solid around different animals; my biggest concern is what to do about the rides. Would it be best to leave her at home? It is such a long time to leave her, but my mother said that she would check on her and relieve her if I decide to leave my dog home. I still don't know if I like the idea, and I am wondering what y'all have done in similar situations. Have any of you taken a guide to an amusement park? If so, what have you done with them when going on rides and such?
