Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 , great attitude! You are my kind of person, I can relate to you so much. Now, were you and your service dog trained together or seperately? Was the dog a 'bonafide' service dog or just a pet before hand. I have 2 dogs, 1 in particular, rescued from a dumpster and had five homes before I adopted her. She is a miracle. Very attentive and protective, and without training, gets me stuff like I say 'Lillie, go get my sweatshirt' - off she goes to the bedroom chair, comes back with the sweatshirt. At first I thought this was a fluke and couldn't believe it. So I tried that 'go get _________' and at different times, etc, and she gets my stuff. I want to work more with her and actually train her for stuff, she is only 4, and prone to shredding my newspaper before I get it out of her mouth (doesn't 'hear' 'drop' on that command) Please tell me more about your service dog and what the dog does. Lillie is part shepherd, part everything else. She is very strong at 52 lbs. When you wrote about your garden and independence, I felt my head nodding up and down YES! > Working past and through my CMT is the story of my life. I blow people away at airports, I need transport to the gate, that is usually in a WC. Then I get out and walk. But I do what I to do to make myself comfortable and happy. You are SO right. We are DEFINITELY MORE than our CMT! Thank you SO much for sharing your authenticity and lifestyle! ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
