Bibi,
How long have you had your current guide? Has the complex been trying to
force you to pay a pet deposit for the length of having your guide?

Subject: [nagdu] OK... I Feel Really STUPID!!! and other things
Hi, all,
I know that my subject is weird, but it was gonna have to come out one way
or the other.
Yesterday before Odie and I left our home for the day, I decided to play
around on the internet, just researching service dog schools as a whole for
the heck of it.
I hPpened to also stuble across something which happens to pertain the
rights of service dogs and handlers along with responsibilities.
When the whole service dog dispute began with me along with my apartment
complex, HUD and other various organizations which donate money for
assistance programs within my complex, I didn't even bother to check Denver
Gov's web site and another one where I saw something similar for
guide/assistance dogs.
Boy! I still feel as if I could beat myself up for not checking immediately.
My husband, Dale along with natalie and another friend Alisha Robbinson told
me not to feel that I am densed.
Dale honestely admitted that he didn't think about checking other resources
either when doing research.
When he went to the Colorado State's web site, he didn't directly find too
much in regards of a service dog law.
Well, now that I've comrs across more information, I'll be having my husband
translate the info into a text only document so it can still be read under
Microsoft word and that I'll be able to share with others who may run into
similar problems if it should come down to their four-legged furry partner.
There's another web site that my friend Natalie came across and encouraged
me to check it out which also has stuff on the service dog law here in
colorado as well.
I'll have to check out ADA Gov in a little while so I can compile something
from there.
Thankfully, I now have more besides what I have found so far to back me up
and no, I will not be fighting this battle alone.
My husband Dale is in my corner as well as some other friends who are
willing to step up and help out too.
Now for the rest of the other things...
Odie and I went out with my friend Amanda Dreher and her hearing dog Louie.
We both planned a day to hang out together just to walk around and do some
looking around inside the Life Way Christian book store way out in
Centenial, Colorado.
i'll admit that both boys were full of energey and it was definite they
needed to get out and exercise.
When I mean fully of energey, Odie began to pull me over to the H-line light
rail train and I had to tell him to calm down with saying easy.
by the time we reached the door however, driver had already locked them up
and was preparing to pull off.
Of course, Odie wasn't too happy over us missing a light rail, but I told
him there would be another one coming.
We caught the F-line up to the Broadway Station and got off there to wait
for Amanda and Louie to meet us.
Both boys went crazy as soon as they saw each other.
We took the H-line light rail up to the Colorado Station to get off and
transfer to the route40 bus.
I'll admit that while the light rail driver was trying to put the ramp down,
he told me that Odie was fixing to jump over it.
Before that happened though, I got on the four-legged furry kid's case,
telling him he wasn't going to do that.
Later on, we headed out to Centenial where we weren't that far from the Park
Meadows shopping Mall.
By the time Amanda and I got home, both dogs were really tired out.
Odie immediately sacked out once we came inside.
Amanda and I both agree that a big break would be needed and another travel
plan will be next time.
I can admit that when it came to us having to cross over Yosemite and county
Line, the light cycle was weird and too short.
At one point when the walk sign was up, someone decided to turn.
Luckily, Odie pulled me back quickly and Luie pulled Amanda back really
fast.
Each of us praised our dogs as they did something good.
Odie did look back at Amanda and Luie to see if they were all right.
We decided to wait out until another cycle and then had no choice but to
quickly run across the street.
I did tell Amanda that the next time we'd plan to adventure out into that
area, I'd be looking into the Loan Tree Call and Ride Service so we wouldn't
have to quickly run across a that intersection as it was way larger and
wider than colorado Boulevard.
Since it's housekeeping day today, Odie and I definitely won't be going
anywhere.
I know some people are not happy with me still taking Odie along as my
partner, but until I can get another dog, that is the safest way for me to
travel, especially while my convulsive grandmal seizures are unknown still
and when I along with nerology can get a good better handle on them.
Since Odie has witnessed the convulsive grandmals as well as another lady on
the bus almost two years ago experiencing a seizure, he can immediately let
me know if an appending one is going to happen.
If so, Odie will immediately pull me away from a busy road.
More likely when I do get another dog, I'll have to make sure it is a conbo
one.
Well, I'm done, so guess that will be enough from me for now.
bibi and the tired out spoiled Odie
the happy spirited bounty labra wolf
