  1. I concur I would buy that
  2. This looks like a good one
  3. Okay I have a very serious question, if you do not have input please do not respond, I do not want this to turn to a negative discussion I have been on these forums to see many a topic go bad. I want the pros and cons to be honest I have not made up my mind what to do. Last Nov my softball playing dancing daughter while at college started to have seizures, Now she had, had seizures before including one several years ago during black Friday. With the diagnoses of Epilepsy and PTSD this has causes her to withdraw from college and move back home. In August after fundraising she was matched with a service dog, Phoebe is a 75 lb black lab. Phoebe goes every where with her she is a seizure response dog. The dog has all credentials a service dog has, Phoebe has gone with my daughter to school everyday here local, she has been to concerts, we even took her to the huge fair here and we were down in the pit for every one of the concerts. She was by her side everyday at the Mayo. I am not worried about the dog being anxious black Friday, nor afraid. She is there to do a job for my daughter and that is to keep an eye on her, tend to her needs. My problem is this my 19 year old because of the seizures has lost so much in a year, softball on the college level, living at school in Wisconsin, being able to drive. I don't want to take something else away from her. It is either leave her my daughter and Phoebe home or take them there is no in between. I am aware of the ADA laws those are not my issue. So any one want to give sound advice please contribute, just saying black friday is no place for the dog, and she isn't just a dog she is my daughters life line. please don't respond. If this thread gets out of control I will ask Brad to remove it. Thanks

  13. I sent my info
  14. Hey guys, Not new but I am back don't know for how long but for now at least
  15. I wasn't the best SS! As when I signed up, I didn't know that there was going to be issues with my youngest daughter that would having me make 6 unexpected trips to Platteville were she attends school. I had so many ideas that I wanted to do but alas none of them happened. I am glad you did like what I sent. We now have had an EEG and this week she goes for a MRI they have diagnosed her with a form of epilepsy along with the other issues she has. I swear this kid can not cut a break. On a high note she did finish the semester with a 3.1 GPA she was proud as the medical issues took a toll and she thought she had failed 2 classes.

They cancelled the Santa for a Senior program here, So my 40 residents would have been out of luck, But my son as part of his community service project for FFA helped me make tags from their list and put up a tree in a local Grocery store, still have about 10 tags on the tree and not anything has come back yet. Getting a little nervous but I have faith.
