<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Would you feel the same way if a family member
wanted to bring with him to your house his pet dog. If he felt that pet
was a family member, and "if you didn't want his dog, you didn't want him
either"? I don't quite understand not going somewhere just because my dog
guide wasn't welcome at that persons home. Particularly if there was
good reason for his not being there. Conflicts with other household dogs,
and people suffering allergies to animals. These are
just two examples of good reasons. Now, 40 years ago, I refused to go
to my sister's thanksgiving dinner. Because while she accepted my guide
dog, I owned one then, she didn't want my husband there. Now, my husband
was the human person in the equation with whom I chose to spend my life.
He wasn't a lower animal. So, I took the same attitude you seem to
exhibit concerning your guide dog. Therein lies a difference. Not
wanting an animal in ones home is a personal preference. While not
wanting to accept minor personal differences among humans reflects on human
character. The family member who noticed your absence at the gathering
could say, also, that you were just using your dog as an excuse not to
come. Thereby causing more acrimony than might be
necessary. </font></div>

<div><font size="2">Hi Deanna,</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">Well said and I totally agree with you. Like you my animals
are a part of my family and if I go somewhere like to family gatherings
at a families home and that person doesn't want my guide dog there then
they don't want me there either. I've had certain family members tell me that
I couldn't bring my guide dog with me because of them having their pet
dog in the house and they didn't want to put the dog up in another room or
outside . So if my guide dog wasn't welcome than I wasn' either. If family or
anyone can't except me and my guide dog when at family gatherings or
anywhere else then I don't go and stay home. Take care.</font></div>
