[NAGDU] Haircuts

[Tracy Carcione]

When I get a haircut, Krokus lies by my feet.  I have to be careful to
position him so he won't get hit if the hairdresser turns the chair.  Also,
in his puppy days he would try to eat the hair that fell, but he's grown out
of that, mostly.  Otherwise, it's the same as any other trip.

I guess you don't know the story about Morris Frank and the first Seeing Eye
dog.  He was in training, and he realized he needed a haircut.  He asked if
someone could take him to the barber, because that was what he'd always done
before, and the training director reminded him that now his dog would help
him get to the barber; all he needed from them was directions.  And Morris
realized he was free to do what he wanted, when he wanted, without waiting
for someone to be free to help him.
I know that moment myself.  I still rejoice in it, after all these years.
Tracy

Hi,

How would I take Alec to get my hair cut, or would he stay home for that
sort of trip?
