[NAGDU] Greetings from a new poster

[Julie Johnson]

When I'm working at a table I use a hands free leash.  However, I'm 
handing out brochures, signing people up for a class or selling 
products.  There's no food, electrical components with cords or hot 
things to worry about.  I don't know how comfortable I'd be with my dog 
under a table where I was cooking.  I'm envisioning her getting tangled 
in a cord and the whole thing toppling over or some other such 
disaster.  If some crazy random thing can happen, it probably will to me.

Mike had some good suggestions and Wayne brings up a good point about 
health codes.  Honestly I have no idea what they are in this particular 
situation.  I suppose whether or not people are eating the food would 
make a difference.  It would be something to check into beforehand 
though, just so you know and are prepared.

I have a table that I use which is about four feet long and two feet wide. I will be standing behind the table for about three hours. I am trying to figure out how to handle positioning Darcy. should I take her bed and put it under the table? If so and I am using my hands how should I attacher on tie down. I was thinking to maybe my belt? I don’t really want to attach her to the table. I will have wine bottles and a cook stove on the table. II don’t know if there are any blind chefs with guide dogs or not but was wondering what they did while they were working.
