Service Dogs

[tho9900]

meh my physical disability is not exactly that.. I learned to switch to my right hand.. there's no prob.. I know what you mean about the unseen disability... which is why I want Nala to be able to go out with me on bad days/weeks..

And tim and bailey steered me to it so I trust them on the issue...

ya I am gonna get with them.. moreso the DAV... the VA can suck it I am kinda pissed at my primecare doc right now.. nothing but tests tests tests but nothing gets done.. mentally my psych team is the bomb tho..

I got my dog who was actually a drop out from a service dog school. She was perfectly behaved though, and that was the reason I wanted her.

I'm glad that you rescued the dog. All dogs are great. Ben you might try talking to Tim and Bailey. Also if you go to vets4vets.com, they can offer help also. Vets4vets is an organization of PTSD veterans who have trained their service dogs. They are a great group of men and women.

Ours is a rescue, some horrible excuse of a human being threw her out of a car window. Couldn't wish for a better, friend and pet

people I hate are those that hurt animals and children. The abusers should get what they have dished out to the innocent. If I had the money I would start a Safe haven for abused animals on my property. I would take horses, mules, donkeys, dogs, cats even llamas and sheep.
Rescued animals are so grateful for someone to love them make fantastic pets, but most importantly a wonderful true friend.

The sanctuary is a great idea, but I'm scared witless of horses!

She was a shell of an animal when we scooped her of the street, totally different now. Such a personality, would of been lost without her since coming back.
Sat her chuckling at her now actually. We set a fish tank up for the kids, and the hound is sat there hypnotised by it lol! Will try and get a pic up of her watching the fish, she hasn't moved in about half an hour

this is her cousin Harley.. he was the impetus to get her...

This is Harley's mom Nichol.... she has been a service dog in herself... she has been more a trooper than most I have met in my service years... 5 yrs and 3 real fights we decided were silly afterwards... she puts up with the depression, the anxiety, and ya even the rage when it hits... sometimes by telling me she CANT support me like that... which is enough to make me focus and get myself back on track
