Yesterday Imogene and I went to Costco and we had a situation I’ve never experienced before. At the checkouts a lady dropped a glass jar of spaghetti sauce and shards of glass went everywhere all over the floor surrounding us. I took a second to figure out how we could get out of this situation without getting Imogene’s paws embedded with glass and I immediately picked her up and moved about 20 feet away from the checkouts. I then walked her over to a table and sat down and carefully checked her paws just incase glass landed on them. Imogene was her normal amazing self and my quick thinking got us out of what could have been a very serious injury. So I guess my next recommendation on training your dog is going to be, randomly bend down and pick up your dog to prepare them for an emergency situation like that. You never know when something that could seriously injure your dog surrounds you in a matter of a couple of milliseconds.

Just a reminder, the next medical alert dog class starts in less than a week. You can join us on Tuesday August 25th at 7pm CST. In our last class, some students had alerts less than three weeks into class! Even puppies as young as 8 weeks of age can learn to alert.

This is what untreated chronic pain will do to you. We have an epidemic of it in the US now thanks to draconian opioid rules and doctors who are being taught that anyone asking for pain relief is a drug addict. I hope doctors and pharmacists take this into consideration now that if you deny pain meds to legit patients they might get pi**ed off enough to Luigi their asses. Desperate people will do desperate things. We treat dogs in pain better than we treat humans in this country.

The next medical alert dog class is officially scheduled for August 25th at 7PM CST. We will probably have at least two return students in it. Yes, that means we have been in business long enough for students to have one service dog and then need another. You wont find many service dog trainers with that type of history. We are not a fly by night training organization, we have been training medical alert dogs for SEVENTEEN years.

Last night a tree limb took out our power in 110 degree heat. I have a small solar system but it's not made to run the AC in this heat. Luke has cancer and needs to be in the AC to keep comfortable. We have electricity now but it was touch and go for a while, and was especially troubling when I saw that the repair might cost up to $5000 to fix the damage. Would you help us prevent another problem by helping get new batteries for the solar system so we can run a single window AC unit for hours in the brutal heat? Not only is this needed for Luke but also for me. Since the poisoning, I have horrible asthma and it’s very difficult to breathe in the humidity. I have included a photo of the batteries we are requesting with a link to the products on our Amazon wishlist in the comments. ANY help would be appreciated.

So much optimism and hope in the crinkle of a plastic bag. I wish I had that level of enthusiasm over something so simple. Too bad it was just an onion going into a ziplock in the fridge.
