[nagdu] being reported to your school

[Lyn Gwizdak]

I don't bring Landon to a bar because it is so dark and loud in there. 
People would never know he was there to avoid stepping on him. I hardly go 
to them since I can't see anything because it is so dark and I can't hear 
anything because it's so loud - and it is usually very crowded as well.

I will bring him to a restaurant/bar where there are tables or booths to get 
Landon out of the way in and it isn't so dark - like TGIF Friday's or Seus, 
a local sports bar and restaurant.  But a regular bar to watch a drag show - 
no way! Good reason to keep up the cane skills! (grin!)

I'm sure most of us know what is best and we decide for ourselves what's 
appropriate for us and our own dogs.

Lyn and Landon
