Getting a service dog soon.

I heard their are dogs specially for that. They can be trained to sense outbursts.

It for My depression and seasonal affective disorder I have during the winter.

And how does a dog help you with that?


I don't understand how a service dog works for someone with depression and SAD, especially for someone with high functioning autism or AS. But I can understand how it works for an elderly, a blind person, a deaf person and someone who is in a wheel chair.

The dog will help Me focus on the dogs needs as well as My needs.

It well help Me deal the the shorter days which makes depression worse than any other time of the year.

The companionship of the dog should help Me get through the SAD during the winter months.

It is a hope I will get out during the shorter day so that the SAD will not affect Me, as bad  as it has over the last few years that it has gotten worse over the last few years.

It should also help Me not want to drink (alcohol) as much here and there as much.

I think about it much more during the winter months as well.

Sounds like a good idea. Do you know what breed it will be?

it manly a mutt I guess.

We most likely will fly the dog to where I live from Las Vegas.

How does getting a service dog work?

Do you just apply for one and you come and get it, do you get to pick a breed?

I heard they are free to get but then I heard they cost money to get. Which one is it?

I really don't know My sister is the RN.

My dog is free but for transportation.

I did not pick the breed.

It's easy to teach a dog take your cock.

Then what do they do after that?

They can come press their body into you just before you melt down, so you can pet them instead and calm yourself down.

If you have an autistic child who runs into traffic, you can leash the child's waist to an autism dog and the dog will block them from running into traffic with his body.

Sucks if the dog's not well trained though.

I have this image of it chasing a cat, with
the kid dragging behind. 


Kinda made my day.
