I am also disabled, and home most of the time with my Suzi. However, It seems like as soon as I walk out the door I feel it. Suzi looks out the window and watches me leave. I hate it. SHe is my service dog, and is in training. Right now i take her to therapy sessions. It works out great. She is not fond of car rides. We live in a very small town, and have to drive far to go anywhere. We are working on it .
