How parents cope with the trauma of living with a child with a serious illness like this one, I have no idea. I think dogs like this are the most amazing thing ever. I hope that Kiki can bring this family some peace
Re: Service dog to take care of little girl Wow - just wow - ;D and I'm booked on the training with the medical alert dog charity you posted about Pippa - to become a public speaker for them giving talks about their work. I'll keep you posted on my progress...
Re: Service dog to take care of little girl That's fantastic Carole! Can't wait to hear how you get on! ;D ;D
Re: Service dog to take care of little girl it's a 4 hour workshop on 28th July, she runs one about every 4 months so my timing is pretty good. I'm still undecided about taking on a puppy but giving talks is something that comes easily to me and I would imagine that they struggle to get volunteers for this that a) don't mind talking in public and b) are any good at it. I know that if I take on a puppy something will have to give - most likely my PAT work with Barney and Gun Dog training Rusty and quite possibly my sanity...
Re: Service dog to take care of little girl Re the pup, I think it would be a shame to give up something you do enjoy, to take on something you might enjoy... I think giving the talks sounds like a lot of fun though. You'll have to let us know how the training goes )
