On the Road

Wish you could have seen him with Tariat–he is just

very quietly confident.  And he knew enough to decide

that he did not want to greet the gander (Smith, of

the goose defense team Smith and Wesson).



So far he is charming everyone, including children who

are terrified of dogs.



Cheers!

Service Dogs

There are no gov’t. programs, unfortunately, to help an individual with obtaining a service dog.  You either have to go through a service dog organization ( many want 10k-25k in fundraising
efforts to pay for your dog ), or do what I’m doing.  Which is raising my own service dog.  The good news is that the Federal gov’t. does not require any type of certification for your dog
to be considered a service dog.  They only have to do a “job” for you.  The best website for info about service dogs is…
The Delta Society has a printable card that has the ADA law on it.  That way you can carry it around with you for any situation where someone tries to deny you entry to an
establishment.  The Fed’s are VERY lenient when it comes to service dogs and people with disabilites.
