You play with your daughter? My son and I play together..we named our band 'Bad Bob', lol I dont know why..

I was reluctant to buy our first house which the realtors called Hidden Hollow. It was a small cape on 5 gorgeous acres 45 miles from NYC. I grew to love it. 22 years later we were ready to move and I found our current house on a day when DH was traveling. I fell madly in love with the house and the land. DH came to see it and picked it apart. There was an oil stain on the garage floor and assorted other "problems" that he could find. Finally he said that since he had kind of pushed me into our first house he would sacrifice and purchase this house. The house is now called "Billy's Sacrifice." I made a sign. He truly loves the house now. The sign is hidden in the trees.

OK..I agree they will steal ANYTHING! However, every now and then it will bite them in the rear. We were rushing home from a picnic,had a sick kiddo in the car; heavy traffic what can I do? I told his brother to hand him the small cooler! I said "just close it up and don't worry we'll be home as fast as I can." We got home and of course all I cared about was getting DS into house and cleaned up . Left gross cooler in front yard to take care of "later".. HAHAHAH guess what some idiot stole? Kathy

Edited to add: Paxil is very handsome! You both will do fine. :) Also, to look at me I don't look disabled. So I did have one person call me out and she was just a customer in a grocery store. Basically she wanted to know how she could bring her "very well behaved dog who just got his Canine Good Citizen's certification" in the grocery store. She told me I wasn't disabled because she couldn't see my disability. Ha! Seriously, just like a poster above, I took the high road and just said that you can't always see disabilities and then extricated myself form the conversation. That was the only confrontation I had like that. Now onto my original post.... My Boxer was a service dog for me. You don't often see Boxers as service dogs so people could have had issue but only one store ever did and we went everywhere together. Grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The only store we had a problem with was Sears and it was because someone had been in with an unruly "service dog". I had heard about this other person before from other vendors but never ran into them. Once I explained to the people at Sears that Champ was, indeed, my service dog, the person asked her manager who was fine with him being there. Quite honestly, I probably wouldn't have left if they asked me to. Champ was his usual stoic, very well behaved, self and I knew the law was on my side. Champ was my dog before I needed a service dog and he was trained specifically for my disability when he was three years old. He was privately trained and I sent away for his service dog certification and card. I know some people abuse what is available online but some people do not. When I first started going out with Champ, I was self conscious of how he would be accepted or if we would be in people's way, etc. But before long, I was used to him and he was like glue by my side. The only issue I had with people out was them wanting to pet and or touch him. I would often talk to people who asked about him but they weren't allowed to pet Champ because he was working. He knew the difference. Every now and then I would run into an old friend and give Champ his "off duty" command and he would start bouncing around like Boxers do to say hi to my friend. Then it would be back to work when I called him to it. I did enjoy talking with people though, especially if they had had Boxers before. If there were kids present, I would sometimes put him through his paces so they could see what he did for me. If there were kids who were afraid of dogs (which we ran into often), I would have him lay down and let them come pet him because he would stay stock still for them. I guess my whole point is that the more you are out, the more comfortable you will be in the presence of others and the different establishments. People like service dogs. But most people know that they are not to interfere with the person and their dog and they respect that. That might have been part of the non-response you got from the people in the waiting room. I'm feeling melancholy reminiscing. Champ got cancer when he was was a few months short of seven years old and we lost him two months after that, just shy of seven years old. I have not replaced him. Here he is with my Grandson. The second picture is Champ at Target when he was first being trained by the trainer.
