Stoopid Things / Vol. 1


My dear friend Susan, suggested a new topic for my blog.
 THIS IS NOT 
intended as an attack on nurses.
I've had some of the most wonderful nurses attend to me
during and after childbirth, and when hospitalized for my
many surgeries.

So here goes...what is the stoopidest
(misspelled intentionally)
thing a nurse as every told you, 
when you were in the hospital?

Rate the President

CBS is letting YOU Rate the President.

So here's your chance. 

Everyone should get a shot at this. 
It takes all of fifteen seconds, 
and that's if you stop to take a look at the results.

Take the poll yourself... and when you submit your grading 
of how he is handling the top issues,
a second page will come up showing you 
the current results of how America is voting.
Remember... this isn't Fox doing this.
This is aimed towards people who watch CBS. 
 **Please DO THIS, and pass it on!**

Go HERE to take the poll. 

A big thank you to Tater for passing this on to me:-)

Holding My Breath

I'm almost afraid to put this is print...I don't want to jinx things.
But remember my post from about a month ago?   
The one whereI told you of my quest to get a Service Dog.  
You can go HERE
to read it (it's in the second section of the post).

Let me update you a little.  I've spent about 4 hours
online each day since then.  I search for organizations,
 that raise and train SD's.  I've applied to groups all across the country.
I send emails to companies
and organizations, telling them of my needs for
sponsorship.  I read through postings of 
breeders and rescue groups. 
I've even sent a letter to Cesar Milan.

I read the classifieds in the paper each day...hoping to find 
someone who has a dog that fits my needs. 
I even had my speech all ready, to try
to convince my husband to buy me a poodle,
to raise on my own.
BUT
I knew that something was holding me back...
I knew deep down that I just needed to wait a while longer.
I've prayed and prayed and prayed.
I've tried to pray for what's Best for me,
and not just for what I WANT.

What I felt I needed, was a grown dog, who was
already well socialized.  A dog who could, in a short
amount of time, be ready to pass the Canine Good Citizen Test.
A dog who needed me, as much as I needed him/her.

Asking a lot, don't you think?
Heavenly Father listens and answers.
We just have to learn how to be still,
and wait, and have faith.

Last night, I was reading emails on a list serve
group that I belong to.
I saw one about a dog that had just
been rescued from a shelter.
Someone had taken him because
they felt that he was special...that he had
great potential...that he might make a great SD.
He was scheduled to be put down,
and she rescued him.


He is just the right height, just the right age,
well socialized, and his foster mom,
believes that someone has already trained this dog
and that he can easily pass the CGCT and with
just a little bit of work, that he can pass the PAT!
  She is willing to keep him and continue to work with him
until I can come up with the funds to:

1. Have his hips x-rayed - to make sure that he can be used for mobility.
2. Reimburse her for shots, food, supplies, etc.
3. Travel to her (a couple of states away / plane ticket, or I'd even be willing 
to take a bus if necessary, & food and lodging),
and work with her and the dog, to make sure
that we are a good fit.
(There is also the chance that we could do 
the Public Access Testing together - so that I can come home
with an official Service Dog, 
and not just a  Service Dog in Training.)

Do you know just how HUGE this is?
The shortest waiting list that I've found is 2 years.
To train a dog on my own, would take at least 2 years.
The cost for either of the above,
would be a minimum of $2,500 but more realistically
be $5,000 or more.

The costs involved with this dog, would
only be between $500 and $1,000 and a wait of only
a few months, or maybe as little as a few weeks.

If anyone reading my blog, knows of a group
that could sponsor me, please let me know.

If any of you would be willing to donate $1, or $5, or $10...
I have a PayPal Button - at the bottom of the left sidebar
at Libby's Library News
(Just type in "Service Dog Donation" 
next to Libby's Library News
in the Purpose Box)

If any of you would be willing to say a prayer or two,
on my behalf, and for my families needs,
(Another big even - that we are waiting on...this could be a very
good thing...but again, we are asking for what's best, and not
just for what we want), I would be most grateful.


 Sending my love and appreciation to you all!
