we are hoping the huricane has turned right at the island...-- it can get excitingaround here with all these trees..but i have to figure the trees have to be 100 years old so they have survived similar storms-- but it could have been before they became ant hotels-- one of my 30 " trees had a 12 inch hollow center---
ants.... somewhere i read that some ant type person had discovered that the dna of ants in spain were related to the dna of ants in russia

Only a couple days left to preorder team Bella and George shirts! We close orders this weekend. I wanted to share this video that shows how much George has helped Bella. A year ago she was on crutches full time and we were thinking that soon she would need a motorized scooter for school next year. But not now!! Look at her go. He gives her strength, independence and so much joy to run, and be happy like other kids! Thank you to everyone that supports SDP in any way. We appreciate it so much because if it wasn't for all of you Bella would not be running! So thank you. If anyone still wants a shirt to support SDP another way here is The link ishttp://goo.gl/forms/I17I6i7MW

Thank you for your quick reply.
According to the ADA, anyone can train their own dog to do service work. It is not required to be done by a special organization.
I have been trying to train him since I got him. If it was possible to do more training with someone in Boston, I would be open to doing that training for him and me.
Currently, the fact that he is with me all the time requires me to be focused on him like you would a baby and that certainly helps to keep me awake even when I am having an episode. I have fallen asleep on benches before and in airports and he has woken me if someone approached me so as to protect me, either by barking or by pulling on his leash or both. When I drive, he keeps me awake by breathing heavy in my ear. Without him, I have great difficulty staying awake while driving. There have been several occasions where he barked or pulled at me and an episode occurred 5 minutes later. I am not sure if he can be trained to do that consistently, but having the extra "notice" time could mean life or death to me.
Please advise.
Thank you.
