Service & Therapy Dogs > Have you ever thought?

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 4:10pm PST  Ok I found a cart that someone is fixing up like I was thinking. They are in canada (if that makes a differents?) I am using the same sorta idea in it but mine is bigger and has a third wheel. Ok these are my tweeking IDEAs : I wanted to use PVC piping for the poles he used Bamboo. (I could not find Bamboo) Bigger wheels for the back they said not to do it in the directions but I think it is cause that is a standard thing to say. Also a bigger smaller wheel cause it is a 10 inch even though the called it a 12 inch when I ordered it. My PA person who was working with me found the U-tube protoe type form canada. It has a breaking gage and medel breaking bars to go against the tiers. Hmmm? He also used a lot of leashes and leashes are exspensive. Did get something some what together to do a test run Sadie was not impressed lol. She walked ok next to the shopping cart but in front of a cart and being asked to pull it. Not a good idea she told me. I don't understand her sometimes She does not like water "its wet" lol She likes to goose people in the front (men). LOL well not funny if you are a man I know. My male friends still love her though. LOL and she is a big dog bred to do this sorta thing and she does not want to learn it. She wont do something that is my Idea. But esspects me to do her nuttie ideas. We are suppose to be partners Here!!!! Ok maybe it is just the way I was doing it or setting it up he did a lot of different things for the harness set up. Hmmm? Do any of you have ideas? I think I am not doing something or seeing this right and maybe it is just the way I set it up? Does anyone know how to do this easer? May be I need bigger rope? Tell me what I can do here...... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > Gosh... more awful news...

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 3:48pm PST  Iris is right it is hard but we do what we do cause it is right. And it hurts sometimes when we have to say good by to a loyal and good friend and partner. As I said in my last post The guilt and sadness is normal. We feel like we are abanding them or letting them down. I felt betrayed when my worker left. I worried that the pets that had to put to sleep had been let down. It is human to feel that. The unknown it scary cause you wonder more about are you doing the right thing and you do know if it really the right thing to do. The greater love is doing what I s right for them And making sure that is the right thing. It is not selfish it is the right thing. I knew that my CJ was very sick he was in pain I had to make sure to do what was right for him. He counted on me to do that even at his end. That is the hardest thing to do. To make a choice for someone who can not speak for them self. A choice only you can make is what they count on and I am sure you will make the right one Chaplin there is no dout. Baby will always love you and you he. He knows in his own heart that He can not do the job he was doing before. You need to tell him it is ok. You need to just make sure it is a safe home where he is loved and honered. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > Access Denial Form

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 3:34pm PST  Looking good by the Awq... I agree with chaplin it is a good idea to do that I guess I had given all that a rest cause I had not had a problem with access yet. Though I was very nervous in the beginning. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 3:30pm PST  I totally agree with iris and the others don't feel you have to even if someone asks. Really you don't have to tell anyone. If some asks really nice sometimes I am compelled to answer. I think he was kidding but I was in the Home Depo a couple days ago and some guy walks by stating "WHAT are you doing with that dog!" He was not a store person he was a shopper. I just ignored it and continued on. I did let one person in the store pet her just cause he did ask very nicely. He also after saw the vest it said "DO NOT PET" I exsplained that sometime I did if people asked nicely and other times I did not like people petting her. Sadie is a very loving dog, but lately I really felt she should not be petted cause sometimes she was a lil funny about strangers being near her. As I said she has been out of the loop a few many times to long. The other day She did not like some guy touching her and barked at him and she was in a pet shop. I told him sometimes she just did not like being touched. Sadie has been a pretty good judge of charactor and I don't think he was a nice guy. 99.99 % of the time Sadie loves people. She did not snap at him but she did bark a warning. Witch for her was a good thing since She has done worse when on her run. But it has been a wile and I don't talk about it cause I know a lot of people on here would consider that something to wash a dog out. She dose not do it when in working mode and she dose not snap at people. She dose it as a warning cause I think for the most part she knows I am not good about strange people and would rather keep a distance. I have had to correct a few people this past week when they called her a "PIT BULL" I just don't want people to get her breed wrong cause I have had to struggle with issues to that. SHe is a bully dog for sure I guess for the most part I like to call her a American Bull dog. She has american staff. terrier/English bull mastiff in her or then it just might be plain Bull mastiff I can never be sure. But least I know it is all bull dog lol. She needs to just get use to getting out again and now I have a worker and I guess this is a good thing cause my other worker moved away. Now I can take her with me cause this worker lets me take her in the car with me. I think God dose know when I need something to happen and this was it. I have such a hard time warming up to people and I did know this person so it was not a total stranger. Sadie likes her too and I know I just need to make sure I keep working sadie in to her work out in to public again. It is very hard to know if or when a dog is going to fit in to a life style. I did not want a dog cause I had many things in my life I did not feel a dog could be involved in. I was very sick too and there was a chance I would not make it. I exspressed that to my Doctors too and they said that it was the dog or a nursing home and I did not want to be in a nursing home. For the most part I did have friends and family that came in and helped me. Also my son helped me train her. My adoped Daughter also told me that she felt it was a good Idea for me ( she did not believe in SDs going in to stores and places). So my life needed to change to suit and add a SD in to it. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > A Natural Therapy Dog?

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 2:59pm PST  I agree with Iris... I almost cryed reading that story. Yes it sounds like you would be selfish keeping Izzy to yourself. She has a very special gift and she should shine. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > So Wrong...

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 2:50pm PST  Yes Iris Like I said it is just making our work harder cause we are letgit with our need for the dog. I do use a vest for Sadie and I have read people's post here about doing so cause then everyone would be telling me if I just happen to put a new vest on her that I don't have a patch for yet. Most of her Vest are well marked, I could see that happening though people exspecting to have patches on the dog vest when working out in the stores. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > Those who use public transportation (or loud things)

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 2:45pm PST  I am not sure if this is in the same line cause I don't use it on a daily account, but I am going to plan a trip on a train as well as a boat. They can also be loud But it is something I would like to do some day soon. I don't think they are any louder then then trucks and such but I am wondering how it will be for her. Voltar was saying how I should be exsposing her and training her in to things new for her work. Can I really ease her in to something like that? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Crazy Sadie- Lady Im a SD and- proud of it so- there!!!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 1:59pm PST  But it is not that simple as they put it and it is a scam I know how you feel since I do use a SD and need to use one. Sadie is my lifesaver and I struggle all the time when I do not have her. I had to do so when I was working with a working who could not let me have her in the car, cause of life effective allergies. It was very hard and my doctors always asked why I did not have her with me. I did not know what to tell them just that I was just training her still. That was some of the reason but as I said my working had allergies. It makes it harder when people or sites like that put that stuff on. It makes me mad too. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
