[NAGDU] the open door policy

Hello to all.

Dan here with the Parker Pup.

Well I know so many of you have had this issue, I'll walk up to a door 
of a store and a nice person from inside opens it out towards me and 
Parker, clipping me in the stomach and Parker in the nose. He has 
started to move very slowly when approaching doors like that and I don't 
blame him, any techniques you've found to minimize the effect of this 
and deal with it. Now, before anyone says anything--lol I know that 
people mean well, but they aren't thinking of course that the blind guy 
doesn't see the door opening towards him, today it actually hit me in 
the eye, some part of the door and it  hurts. I shoudl clarify, it hurts 
my eye that is, not the door, I don't know how the door feels.


One thing I used to do but forgot is when I approach a door like that to 
have my hand shield my upper body or something so the door would hit my 
hand first of course.


Anyway, I hope everyone's doing great.


Warmest regards,
Dan and the wonderful, masterful, lovable Parker Pup
