just heard something really interesting- no vet w a service dog [View all]

has committed suicide.
i dont even doubt this. w/o my dogs, i dont know where i would be. curling up w them, i can breathe and relax, and recenter.
i dont know how i would sleep at night w/o them there.

on msnbc right now, talking to a couple medal of honor winners. one has a service dog, so they were talking about that.

been known to say it would be a different world if every child was assigned a boxer dog at birth.
i think i will add all discharged vets. or at least all troubled vets.

really simplistic, i know. but sometimes love really does heal, and is simple. undoubtedly a net positive anyway. that's something.
