Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cats. Wow!

[Elizabeth Stevenson (tamgoddess]

It seems that service dogs are something of a problem, eh? But if it's a
guest, we can all learn from that experience and remember to ask about it
before renting out space. But it could be a legal problem to deny access. We
discussed this at the conference in the breakout session on accessibility,
and it's a thorny issue.

But since there is a dog in the CH frequently anyway, I'm at a loss about
why the other dog walking through is a problem. Unless that dog isn't bathed
often enough for someone's comfort. Is it a layout problem? Do people have
to go through up an elevator and walk acreoss the CH just to get their mail?
It still seems to me that if Sharon or anyone else in the community is
uncomfortable, it needs to be discussed in the community, either between the
parties, or at a general meeting.

(I disagree that this has spurred more discussion than anything else.
Doesn't anyone remember the polyamory discussion??)
