maybe you want to carry with you the paperwork that certifies your dog as a working dog. much the same way that we wear pads for incontinence. We'd prefer to NOT have to, but we know the consequences of not planning ahead. And the relief we get when were are glad we did the right thing.

I know I would feel disrespected if someone called me and left 6 messages. I'd get it that they needed something but if they were not my only client how could they know my priorities? I see respect as a two way street.
