On CNN this morning they were talking about a dog treat called “Greenies” Dozens of dogs are dying because this “treat” gets stuck in the intestines. Please pass this on to your friends and do NOT feed your dog “Greenies” This has been on TV and all the service dog lists. Wanted to...

Ms. P and gays If you dislike gays so much Ms. P. why are you constantly posting in the gay forum? I don't mind that you are straight, why should you mind that I am gay. I'm certainly not interested in taking any men from you.

Dumb Access Denials When I started this thread it was to be a fun place to talk about all the dumb excuses that people have used to deny access with your service dog. I should not have to defend my "right" to have one or feel that I need to explain why I have a handicapped plaque. I need my...

Well welcome to my neck of the woods. I also live in Jacksonville. You can also try the Indepedent Living Resource Center to apply for hearing aid and glasses, if you need them, assistance. The telephone number and contact information is: Independent Living Resource Center...

ADA vs ADA Where did you get this information from? If someone states they have an allergy the allergy has to be life threatening and documented by a doctor. If someone states they have phobia, which also has to be documented, then I can be asked to enter by a different door and I should...

Curious I have mobility problems as well. My service dog doesn't just alert me. He keeps me from falling down and helps me get up if I do. The handicapped plaque is for the walking problems.

I saw a special on Logo that I can really relate to. It was concerning women who came out late in life. Finally, I felt like I had connected because I am a late in life lesbian and I'm not alone. Are there any others out there?

Alerting My dog is trained to nudge my hand and I know to look up and around and follow the direction of his gaze.

Because being a woman alone I would like to know that no one is going to sneak up on me in public. Many women have been abducted from just such places, especially parking lots. How about if I drop my keys, my dog alerts me to that. The actual definition of any service dog is "an animal...

I have had some real winners. 1. I have been told that I do not need my dog to hear in a store. 2. Asked if my dog was a blind dog. 3. Told no pets allowed. 4. Door greeters watching me park my car in the handicapped spot and then ask me upon entering the store if I was blind...

Handling people who pet you SD I will politely explain that this is my working dog and that one should never pet without first prior permission from the handler. That to distract a working dog can cause injury to the handler. I have found that most people just don't think. Also, a lot of...

My service dog My Max is a Lab/Golden mix. He was rescued from a shelter in Illinois several years ago and I would be lost without him.

Whats in a name Get a copy of your State's statutes concerning Service Dogs/Assistance Dogs/Hearing Dogs, however they have it listed as well as a copy of the American with disabilities Act and keep them with you. Federal Law supercedes state law. Your civil rights have been violated. It is...

Thanks for the welcome Roadrunner and everyone else. I would be happy to answer any questions about working with a service dog but please understand that he is not a pet. He is a working dog. You can't even guess how many times people have taken me outside somewhere and pointed to the "No...

Hi, I'm LuvsInk. I'm new here and just wanted to say hello. I'm a grandmother, hearing impaired/going deaf, work with the wonderful service dog and now, with my sidekick II, feeling completely connected with the hearing world. My service dog's name is Max and he is the bomb. PS: I'm a...
