I once read an article about "balance dogs" for people with MS. I thought that was so cool, particularly since they suggested Great Danes which I have always been enamored with. I should be thankful that balance isn't a problem and that I can walk. But somehow getting a dog like that feels like a security blanket!!

Oh definitely look into getting a pooch! All pity parties aside, lol, I can not imagine a life without my critters. I promise you there is no way to remain sad when you have a silly puppy bouncing around your feet.
While neither of my dogs would be even slightly helpful with my balance they are the best kind of therapy for the soul. Please keep us posted.
