I HAD ( MAYBE) 2 EMAILS WITH THE SAME QUESTION.... YET IT HAS GENERIC INTEREST... SO HERE'S THE ANSWER FOR YOU'LLL
HI XXXXX..
EITHER THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I M ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION ... OR YOU HAVE TEH SAME SITUATION AS SOMEBODYE ELSE'S EMAIL... AH,.... THE JOYS OF AGE RELATED MEMORY LOSS... HOW TO FIGURE OUT IF A DOG WOULD WORK FOR YOU...??
MY RULE OF THUMB IS TO HAVE YOU TRY WALKING WITH YOUR HAND IN SOMEONE 'S BACK POCKET ( HOPEFULLY SEMI TIGHT BLUE JEANS) TO GIVE YOURSELF THE THIRD POINT OF REFERENCE THAT IS SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED..... IF THAT WORKS AND IF YOU LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR US (NEW ENGLAND) COME VISIT SUNDAYS 12-4 ARE GOOD--- OTHERWISE DO A VIDEO OF THE RESULTS AND SEND IT SOMEHOW-- BECAUSE THAT BACK POCKET IS APROXIMATELY WHERE A DANES HARNESS WOULD BE..
THE REST OF THAT STORY IS .... I TOLD A GAL TO TRY THAT ONE SUNDAY... "HERE, HOLD ONTO THIS GUYS BACK POCKET AND WALK TO THE BARN AND BACK " AND SHE DID AND WAS THRILLED AT HOW MUCH EASIER IT WAS THAN TEH WALKER SHE HAD.. SHE ALSO SAID "WE HAD A LOVELY TIME, BUT I NEVER MET THS GUY BEFORE"
COULD BE IT IS A WAY TO MEET PEOPLE TOO...
******
CAN ANYONE ARGUE WITH THIS NEXT 2AM BIT??
WITH ALL THIS WORRY ABOUT INTERNET SCREW UPS-- AND MY ADVANCED DEGREE IN MURPHY'S LAW ( WHAT CAN HAPPEN, WILL HAPPEN)
WHY DO I KEEP A BUNCH OF MONEY IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT? THIS IS MY PERSONAL SAVINGS-- NOT SDP...- THE GENEROUS BANK NOW GIVES INTEREST OF .0000047% WHICH TEHY NOTE ON MY MONTHLY (PAPER) STATEMENT OF 16 CENTS INTEREST
... WHY CANT I HAVE 16 CENTS + THE 44 CENTS POSTAGE-- TEHN HTHE BANK COULD WRITE ADS AOBUT HOW THEY INCREASED MY INCOME 374% SO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO AVOIDED MATH WOULD RUSH IN TO CAPITALIZE ON THE GOOD FORTUNE..
KEEPING IN MIND I HAVE VERY LITTLE LOVE FOR BANKS ANYWAY.... I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT LOOSE MUCH BY CASHING A BIG CHECK AND KEEPING THE CASH IN A BUCKET UNDER MY DESK...A METAL BUCKET.. ( FIRE YOU KNOW)
IT IS POSSIBLE TO PAY CASH FOR THINGS-- THEY HAVE NOT MANAGED TO OUTLAW THAT YET-- THO IF IT IS SOMETHING WHICH MIGHT BE DEDUCTABLE, YOU BETTER GET THE PAYMENT NOTARIZED TO PLEASE AN ACCOUNTANT..
BANKS DO /HAVE MADE MISTAKES -- AS I HAVE LEARNED TO CAREFULLY BALANCE MY STATEMENTS.
HEII - IT WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH GREY MATTER TO BALANCE MY BUCKET.. I WOULDN'T EVEN NEED "QUICKBOOKS" --- THE ONLY EASIER WAY I COULD THINK OF KEEPING TRACK WOULD BE TO HAVE IT ALL IN COINS-- THEN I COULD SIMPLY WEIGH IT.
WHICH LEADS TO THE INCIDENTEL INTELLIGENCE OF THE DAY...
A CUP OF GENERIC , POCKET COINS-- FROM WHICH NO ONE HAS LIFTED THE QUARTERS- IS VERY CLOSE TO $20..
AND A GALLON OF PENNIES IS CLOSE TO $60.-- -- AT LEAST A 5 GAL WATER JUG OF PENNIES WAS $291. BY ACTUAL COUNT- ONCE IN MY LIFE... I HAD TO USE IT FOR A PRIZE IN SOME PARTY DEAL...
DON'T YOU ALL LAUGH AT MY BUCKET MENTALITY.... JUST WAIT TIL YOU STICK THOSE PLASTIC CARDS IN THE LITTLE HOLE AND THE SCREEN SAYS " PLEASE HOLD, YOUR REQUEST IS IMPORTANT TO US, STAY ON THE LINE AND YOU WILL BE CONNNECTED TO TEH NEXT AVAILABLE INTERNET CONNECTION. WAIT TIME 67.4 YEARS"
*****
I HAD SOME LOVELY STERLING SILVERWARE ONCE IN MY LIFETIME GORHAM... BUTTERSCOTCH PATERN... VERY COMPLETE 12 PLACE SETTINGS-- I HAVE SINCE GIVEN IT TO MY DAUGHTEER GWEN TO BE CHERISHED ( AND POLISHED) AND BOUGHT SOME LOVELY GORHAM STAINLESS STEEL- BUTTERCUP PATTERN FOR JANINE AND I-- .. WHEN I DID OWN IT... I KEPT IT IN PLASTIC BAGS THROWN IN WITH THE POTS AND PANS BECAUSE I HEARD ABOUT THIEVES WITH METAL DETECTORS...
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY ALL MY DOGS WOULD HAVE BEEN AFRAID OF METAL DETECTORS BUT I WAS AFRAID TO KEEP ALL THAT SILVER ON THE DINING ROOM SIDEBOARD..... THAT WAS WHEN I ALSO HAD A DINING ROOM ... OR A SIDEBOARD...
IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT THAT MAYBE THE HOUSE HAD BEEN RANSACKED, AND NO ONE NOTICED.
I AM NO LONGER STERLING SILVER ORIENTED... NOW I VALUE THE PROPERTIES OF STAINLESS STEEL..

Yesterday is an example that people see with amazement how we work as one.
My Shinning Star ⭐️ did it yet again. My legs started to give out as the elevator took off I wasn't ready. My baby braces tight and saved me from a nice fall in the elevator! She always knows how to keep me protected😍 Pixie is my hero my Star my love. She never has her eyes off me. She knows in a second what to do. It's amazing how she knows when she did an extra good job after I catch my balance she looks up at me to see if my facial expression is back to normal and gives me big kisses. I always praise her.
People stood there saying wow "how did your dog ever know what to do without you saying anything" I took such pride knowing that Pixie knows my every need without asking because we are one! A match made in heaven and as I love to say we are 6 legs and 4 eyes.
I want to thank you and all your amazing staff for my beautiful gift and my gift to life back.
Stacy & Pixie🐶🐾
