A diabetic-alert dog smells the change in his charge from the loungeroom. His charge, a young girl, is outside. Across the road. In the neighbours front yard.

Thus is beyond amazing.

Soeben eine Absage einer booking.com -Unterkunft erhalten, wegen des medizinischen Assistenzhunds 🐕‍🦺 meiner Frau, und weil angeblich Booking.com die Beschränkung "mindestens 4 Nächte" nicht übernommen hätte.

Habe die Buchung storniert (zum Glück kostenfrei weil genügend früh), aber die Gastgeber auf das Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz hingewiesen.

A fellow veteran friend of mine just texted me to let me know this eight-year old English Cream Retriever named Bailey is looking for a new home with a veteran - I let my friend know I’ve adopted two cats that as far as I know are OK with dogs. I’m gonna check into this tomorrow - we shall see. Depending on how things turn out, I may once again have a full house. 😉

I haven’t had much time for anything lately, not even #sewing, because we’ve been busy doing lots of intense #servicedog #training ever since getting a medical letter/prescription earlier this year.

The training is *a lot* of work, but Miguel Ángel is an (aptly named) absolute angel, he has the aptitude and personality for it, and unquestionably loves doing the work. None of our other dogs would have ever made the cut, but it’s like he was born for this!

🧵 1/3 #dogs

🧵 2/3

Miguel Ángel is exceptional at performing various medical tasks, he’s got those down pat!

And everywhere I’ve taken him (medical appointments, specialists, restaurants, shops & stores, etc.) people are impressed with how well behaved he is; he’s practically invisible.

He knows that when he’s with me, he’s working and will turn his head to ignore passing dogs, even at the dog park! But when my wife takes him for walks, he knows it’s his chance to be a social butterfly. So smart.

🧵 3/3

The training and reinforcement is never ending, but he loves the responsibility and sense of purpose.

His public access skills make me proud every time we’re out, but I’m especially glad that he’s got the medical tasks down really well since he’s given me indispensable assistance with my disabilities, which have made a remarkable difference.

We’re still working on getting him to focus on me when loud traffic passes by on busy streets, but those temporary lapses are scarce anyways.

@DanielMenjivar That's fantastic! Congrats and I hope the training continues to go well.
@DanielMenjivar And he's cute as a button, too! So happy you've got a helper. (Now I'm sitting here wondering if there are sewing tasks you could train him for 😂)

@sbourne Like a treadmill powered sewing machine? LOL

His “job” in the sewing room is to sit by the window and supervise the squirrels to make sure they’re behaving. 😉

@DanielMenjivar Fetching things? "Get me the pinking shears, please. No, not the fabric shears, the pinking shears!" Probably not much help for picking up dropped pins, tho.
@DanielMenjivar congratulations on your new helper!
