She can also take off my socks and pants and alerts to my medical condiotions Arrival Story: I purchased dora from my best friend who has been raising and showing terriers for 35 years. I had lost my Mother, Sister and my 15 year old dog in 4 weeks time and was in need of a buddy. On May 1, 2009 Dora was put on a plane and flown from Oregon to Arizona to me. She is an amazing little dog. Not only has she mended my heart she has tuned into many of my medical conditions. After counsulting a Private dog trainer I started training her as my service dog. She has passed her CGC and PAT and is now my Service Dog. Dora means God's gift and I truly believe she is.

Happy Valentines to all of my friends. We are not doing anything special just working. Yesterday we got rained out of work so we celebrated it then. Mom and Dad went to a nice restaurant for lunch on Galveston Island. Then we went for a nice drive along the coastline then home for a big nap. Mom had to go there for her physical therapy so it worked out nice.
We had a little problem with them not really being happy about me being there but it all turned out fine. Dad spoke to the manager so now the whole staff is educated and they treated us great over lunch.
Well we have to go to work, so have a nice day.
Same old stuff. Mom is still dealing with back pain and irregular heart rate. We have not heard the results of the MRI’s she got last week and gets an evaluation for physical therapy this week.
The new medication for her heart is helping some but she still is having problems. I have alerted twice in the last couple weeks that her blood pressure was really low. She listened to me and checked and of course I was right. This allowed her to stay seated until it got better. I also have started noticing the irregular heart rates.
Her heart doctor says that is great but he smiled at me and said mom still should get the implant monitor. I love going to the office of the heart doctor, they all love me there.
Mom and Dad did not work that much last week as it rained a lot. It gave mom some time to rest though so that was good.
I still have the itches’. I am not getting salmon oil in my food. Also mom was able to find all the stuff I used to eat and am on that now. She even gave me a bath and put some special soothing stuff on my skin. We hope it all hopes soon.
Mom got the new patches for my vest and she is working on that. She got patches that go on my car harness and anew one for my summer mesh one.
Well that is all for now……
Hi folks, not much has been happening. Mom has been going to physical therapy for her back. She does all of it in the pool. So far it has not helped the pain a whole lot. Yesterday she did get MRI's done on her spine so we will see what those shows.
Meanwhile I am dealing with itchy skin. Mom thinks it is one of the new foods I am on. She took away the kibble and I have only been eating the raw pheasant for a week and still itchy so today she put me back on duck. I have had duck before and no problems. I hope we figure it out soon all of the itching is driving everyone crazy.
Mom has been shopping on line and ordered all kinds of stuff for me. Some has gotten here and some has not. I got some kibble that I was on before and did okay as well as some treats. I also got some chewies. Dad also thought I needed a cat sack to sleep in on the bed. It will be here next week.
Mom ordered and received some new Service dog tags but is not sure where she is going to put them on my vest.
After seeing the Cardiologist this week she also ordered a more accurate blood pressure taker thingy. Well I am hoping mom feels good enough to do a little shopping this weekend. She needs a few things and I need the outings. Even though I go with her everyday most of that is in the car and my public stuff is getting a little rusty.
Well until I write again.
