I'm very sorry about your aunt and everything you're going through. Hopefully everything went well and you'll get good news! (Ah toddlerhood! I remember the days of hugs and fingerprinted walls. Enjoy them. Kids grow up all too fast.)

I think it's all about taking care of your cars. I let my PT go at 430,000 miles. A discontinued proprietary electronic went out and I couldn't find a replacement. Not at dealers. Not at junkyards. It still ran fine. The part controlled the dash. So, no indicators for gas, speed or anything else on the dash. I hated seeing it go.

It is! My phone wants to overheat. Being on the air vent has been helpful.

It is. I'm pleased with the performance.

Thank you! It's a good phone holder.

It's really important to know your dog. The trainers I worked with when training my first service dog, the program that trained this one and the ones I've spoken with in-between, bsolutely stressed no human food. This is because of restaurant floors that have food particles etc. I had the experience of a server trying to give my dog a piece of chicken breast. He literally put his hand and chicken up to my dog's mouth with no warning. Another time a pork chop bone was dropped right in front of him. Oy! But, you work with your dog a lot and know how he'll respond. That's what's most important. Good job both of you!! 💜

This is just the beginning. So far it's handled everything I've thrown at it.

I feel you on this! It's wonderful how a sense of humor can rescue most facepalm moments. 🙂

Thanks 🤗

Yes, they do!! 😂

Thanks!

Thank you. ❤ He does really well. ❤

Yes. Stay as calm as possible. Sometimes a desk clerk doesn't know about the law. Carrying a printed copy of the ADA law can be helpful. I also like to carry a copy of the service dog law for each state I'm traveling through. I make sure they see the ADA info number at the bottom of the printout. The desk clerk may have to call a manager and the manager may (or not) want to call the hotline. I always tell them that I'll wait while they do so. I have also told them that I would call their customer loyalty number while they did that. Usually one of these steps will resolve the issue. If it doesn't, you may want to phone corporate and/or the Dept. of Justice. I've done that If you can't get resolution, you'll have to decide if you want to stay there. In this case, pick up a business card with the hotel manager's name on it for later reference. Also get the name of whoever is declining to let you stay. You can also call the police to come out to document the denial if you think it's needed. I always photograph or video the inside of the room when we first walk in. I document every stain or scuffed furniture. This way nothing can come back on my service dog. Hopefully this helps. I'll try to get a video up on it soon. Feel free to ask any other questions that you have.

@@BeBodacious thanks so much!

I hear you on the mammograms. They're awful! A necessity with my family history though. Being so far from a major hospital isn't bad if you know how to prep ahead of time. We would have moved my refrigerator/ freezer to keep ice packs frozen for example. A simple info sheet given in advance or on the breast center website would have solved this. I repeatedly asked if there was anything I needed to pick up or do and was told no. One of the women was pretty nauseous after her procedure. She said they didn't give her anything for it and also had to make the pharmacy run. It could also be difficult for people facing the wrong side of payday. So, I figured the best thing I could do for others was to make the video. Thankfully it seems to be helping.

That's awesome! They make exceptional gear!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks so much! I was thrilled to have won!

Just voted honey. ❤ I'm glad you're doing better. I'll be watching this on my TV so I can't comment there but I wanted you to know I'll be watching this.

That sounds delicious! I'll have to try it.

It helps to know this. Negative comments came in when my tutorials were without music. Looks like I overshot trying to create a balance. I wouldn't know to adjust that next time without your feedback. I appreciate your comment.

I didn’t notice any whistling, but the music is extremely irritating (to me)

I appreciate your telling me that and will pull it down or leave it off next time.

It sounds like Chappie may be on to something. There are a couple of ways you can go. First, I would start by keeping a list of his behavior, times, and actual blood sugar readings. For training you can hire a private trainer, owner train yourself or do a combination. Some trainers will train medical alert dogs because it's specialized. Your veterinarian and/or vet techs may be able to suggest a trainer. Most pet stores have trainers. You can generally talk with them before or after classes for free. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. I'm always glad to help when possible. Best of luck to your brother. I hope everything works out with the puppy.

Thank you 👍

Yup! He's even the bestest boy!

@@BeBodacious have a good night

You too!! 💤

We're in Virginia. I've had it in the desert southwest a few times and it's been okay. My van is well insulated though. If I wanted to, I really couldn't go much larger until upgrading the solar.
