Our Dog Jada

[Guest guest]

Hello this may seem like a strange topic but given I have seen people

asking about service dogs and such, I have to say I am an advocate of

teaching and having animals around our children whenever possible.

My reason for this is this, A year before my son was born I got a pup

from the let say a group that trains work dogs for useful purposes for

work. The joke was it would give me practice taking care of

something,since I had never been around too many children well Jada

was my first baby a mix bread that was happy and according to my

husband a broke dog because all she did was follow me around when I

was pregnant. Once my son was born, she fell in love and even at a

year thought he was her pup. When my son crawled she was right there,

when he tried to stand and walk which took a while she was what he

stood on and feel on when he took a wrong step. My sons first words

were jada, when he was hurt she jumped right in nobody could come near

him if she didnt know you. My point is, when my got the tripple shot

and the next month the manditory flu shot at age 2 Jada was the first

to pick up on things. She never left his side and watched his every

moved even more and alerted us when he began to wander and when we

wanted something she actually became his voice before I did. My point

is for those of you seeking animals as a way to reach our children I

applaude you. I was given a special animal as a gift and once a need

for her to show her stregths she did just that. She travel with us

and is usually my sons pillow or horse, even though she is not very

big. She takes just about anything from my son, does not growl, just

loves. She is a part of our family and I dont think any of use could

have gone thru all of this without her. My husband who is not a

animal lover, even admits this.
