Hi Bianca,
I doubt that I would have any problem with a dog wandering during our
meeting, as long as he was reasonably well-behaved, and didn't enjoy eating
Lego. I have a 110 pound dog myself, and enjoy having dogs around quite a
bit. Other people may have a problem with the dander, though. If anyone in
our group has a problem with dog allergies, then they would probably have a
problem meeting at my house also. Our dog is very much a member of our
household, sitting on the loveseat, with his paws over the back and his chin
on the windowsill, watching the street in front of our house. :-)
I would just like to take this opportunity to again thank Chris Weeks and
his wife for the extra effort that they put into cleaning up the room that
we used as a meeting room. I do occasionally have a problem with cats, but
I suffered very little during our meeting, and I even petted some of the
cats as they wandered by during the course of the meeting. I like cats, but
my lungs can only take them for a short time usually. Thanks again, Chris.
As for getting more things accomplished at our meetings, one thing that we
should do is register a domain name before someone else does. It would be
nice to have a time during the meeting when people can bring out items they
have to trade. I don't think it should dominate the meetings, however.
