I would like to tell you about my service dog for mental health. I was to the point that it was hard to even go to the grocery store because I had a fear of people that they were looking at me and I just grabbed the first thing I could on the shelf and had a hard time with a buget because what I grabbed wasn't the cheapest and alot of times not what I needed. I remember always being taught to check my eggs to see if they were cracked and I won't even check my egg so alot of times I would get cracked ones. After talking to my physiatrist she suggested a service dog to help my though the ruff times and Tia was gotten. The first two monthes I had her she would not come near me but after much work with her she will not leave my side which has been a big help for me even if she is only a teacup poodle. She goes everwhere with me even to church and communion. She is god's gift to me.
