Thanks everyone! I've been reading the responses, sorry I haven't posted till now.

Lots of good info out there and many thanks for all the links, especially Wylie's Mom, I did have a look at those items on Amazon. I've read the articles specifically speaking about what a service/therapy dog is and isn't. I at least am relieved that I have a plan of action for flying, since there will likely be some of that in my future.

I was deeply touched by an article regarding how service dogs are getting a bad rap because an untrained dog with a badge will have access to an area where it will actually cause trouble for the registered service dog...that is definitely not cool.

My primary concern is going to remain for Jenna's safety. I will manage better with her in public but I won't be going anywhere with her that her well being is compromised or she will disturb the rights of access of others. She is the best behaved dog I've ever encountered, but I did not train her. Somebody else did. And that is what gives me hope that she can be accepted in public areas that she will be properly allowed in.

Thanks again for all the input. Have a much better idea of what I'm dealing with now. I will update everyone when I know a little better how my doctors assess my situation.
