 HK>  I just don't know what too do!  I am going to Washington next
 HK>  week.  On Thursday, I am supposed to meet with the President.
 HK>  Yesterday, the Secret Service came by my office.  They told me
 HK>  that I could not take Falcon to the White House.  They were
 HK>  afraid he would pee on the bushes and chase the quail.  What ever
 HK>  should I do?

   Tell the S.S. "thanks but no thanks: Its both of us or neither of us!"
Meeting Bush isn't worth leaving your guide dog home for.  Tell Falcon to pee
on the secret service.

It is truly amazing that the Secret Service is requesting that a blind
person leave a dog guide at home when visiting the White House.  Let's
hear it for the President who signed the ADA into law.  I suggest that
if insisting that you bring your dog along does not work, you should
write a letter to the President, explaining (GEorge seems intelligent
most of the time; I think he'll notice the contradiction) that this is
not the greatest way to assure implementation of the Act he allegedly
supports.  Hail to the Chief--but then, maybe they have a point.  We
wouldn't want Millie--First Dog--to have another litter, would we?
Fathered by a dog guide--heavens, how embarrassing!  Let's hear it for
equal opportunity.
