Arrival Story:
After Buddy past, we had decided that we didn't want another dog. Well My sis got Rupert and we had to puppy-sit him for a week while they went to kenniwick to visit family. We discovered how much we missed having a dog around and found a sheltie breeder close to us and we got him.

Bio:
Barkley is my Service Dog. If you don't know what that means, it means that he is a dog specifically trained to perform tasks that help me with my disability. He does lots of things for me, the main thing he does is alert me to my panic attacks. For those of you who have never had one, you are so very lucky, they are horrible to go through and can last for hours, they even make me sick with a migraine and throwing up sometimes. But what Barkley does is he tells me BEFORE I have one so I can get out of that situation that is making me panic, get help, or take my meds. He also STOPS a number of panic attacks just by making me pet him (he insists literally), or he plays with me and gets my mind off of whatever is making me panic. Barkley also fetches my purse when I am unable to go get it due to a panic attack and or the sicknesses that come with it. In my purse are my medications. Another thing he does is he gets help for me (like my mom or dad) when I am unable to help myself. Sometimes the panic attacks come so fast the when he alerts to them I don't even have time to get out, get help, or take my meds. Now in a store this would normally be the worst thing to happen without Barkley, but with him when I am disoriented he will guide me around the store and find my mom or dad (or whoever I was with if I got separated from them) safely, he also upon command will bark while he is in the process of finding the human I was with, as it gets their attention and they know something is wrong. Parking lots can be very dangerous to me when I am disoriented, sometimes the panic attacks come on when I am in the process of leaving the store, but again he guides me back to my car safely and keeps me out of danger like a car crossing the parking lot and streets. On top of all this he "grounds" me (helps me come out of panic attacks faster then if I were alone). He also has other various tasks he does for me but that would take hours to write and read. If I did not have Barkley I would be a hermit, staying at home all my life (in fact I did for several months). But once Barkley came along my whole life changed and I was able to live my life independently again. He is my life-line, and that is all there is to it.

Well, mom said I did good at her doc appoinment on friday so I am still alowed to go to that place. But I am not allowed to go to grocery stores, the mall, or even to partys, as they all have too many people/kids, and put undue stress on me. I am very sad to have been left home, and mom of course is staying home a lot more then normal, but she says it will be worth it. We just have to give it time.

I was left home saturday so mom could go to a bridal shower. She wasn't planing on this and was planning to go to a friends house instead, but well the friends decided to go to the bridal shower too. This friend happens to be her service human so she decided to go, and left me home. Which she says was a good thing as there were tons of kids.

After an hour she had a panic attack, and her friend noticed (without mom noticing yet) and her friend made her leave with her. And after she felt tons better and relised yes that was a PA. Good thing she left.


This morning mom was supposed to go to church like always but there is too many kids and people and it makes me nervous so mom says I can't go anymore, and havn't for the past couple of weeks. But mom was not feeling well and just didn't go at all. She says this is going to happen a lot, me not being able to go so she just doesn't go at all.

She says when she went to the grocery store without me all she could think about was what was going to happen, the "what ifs" ect ect. And she was very close to having a panic attack, but left just in time.

See, this is what I am supposed to prevent, when I am there she rarley does that, and if I can't be there, what is going to happen to mom? I feel she should take me anyways, trying to leave with her when she does leave by staying underfoot and by attempting to run out the door when she opens it. (I wouldn't even run away or into the street, just down the steps and then I wait for her) But all this is to no avail, she calls me back in and puts me in a wait while she leaves. I have no choise but to obay and off she goes.

*sigh* I miss going with mom.

Well, it all depends on me. If I do good during mom's doctor appointment tomorrow, I get to continue going with mom to doctor appoinments, but if not it will be my last outing.

Mom is very very sad about this. She has been so depentant on me for 2 years now (almost), and it is heartwrenching for her to have to leave me home. I know because she bought me a toy in guilt of leaving me home yesterday.

I try to tell her not to worry, if she just depends on her designated service humans she will do fine. But she isn't so sure anymore.

Although she says if she is diagnosised with celiac disease, her mental illnesses might tone down a little bit and she might not need a SD anymore. Wouldn't that be cool! But she is not getting her hopes up as her MI is pretty serious and she is not sure that a gluten free diet would fix it.

She is almost done with her applycation to brigadoon. She just needs her letters, and medical history. After that she will mail it in and we will see what the verdic is.

That is what I am doing! I am -pokeing- you all that are reading this!


Well anyway, mom got invited to go to a movie and have some fun. Well of course with me she can go and ussually be okay. So she went to see the movie Tranformers. Well she said that over all it was an okay movie, but it was too intense for her. Needless to say she was not a happy camper during the whole thing and wanted to leave several times, but she put me in her lap and stuck it out.

Afterwards we went to a place called Game World. It is an arcade with lots of games and bumpercars to play with! Mom played this game called Jurasic Park, and she was screeming almost the whole time because the dinasors were going to eat her. They played some other games which involved screeming and squealing from her and her friend. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with them!

All I can say is people are weird.
