I take Gracie absolutely everywhere with me. She gets in her carrier with her snuggie blanket and toy and I always say "snuggle down". She never makes a peep. She is actually a psychiatric service dog legitimately by description so she is allowed to go everywhere but this is a new experience for me so I am always amazed that she can go undetected.
She is so good. I absolutely believe in the process of training your own PSD and getting them as a puppy. They bond to you and you to them and it makes for such a wonderful process.
This is the first time in my life I have had a new puppy. It is an amazing and wonderful experience.
This all came about through therapy after a series of major life transitions that changed life forever: losing my father, mother going into asst living, husband going through two major layoffs, breaking a leg/hand and misc other body damage.......
I found out there are times when a psychologist is wonderful if it is a good one. Mine feels that the PSD is just "what the doctor ordered" and she definitely is effecting mine and DH life that way individually and together. She's truly an angel and we are so thankful. |
