I'm in with whatever you need me to do. Just let me know.

Let's allow this thread to run until Monday...if we get enough yeahs on this,then I will stickify the threads,deal?

Would you like me to merge all of the book threads into one big stickie??

Great idea...then it's less confusing for me...I'm still trying to figure out who's doing what so I know what's left.

Not a bad idea, methinks. Anyone else??

Okay...

Everyone's life is nuts now, with the holidays and all, so we can touch back after the New Year, but I'm just wonderin'...where are we on it? Andy, you still out there? I know we still have a number of chapters to get covered, too. I'll comb through this thread and try to make a list of who's doing what so we can get the other chapters covered and get goin'.

You're human,Liz,your not alone,we all feel like that some days.

Dear Ripple ...

I am so excited to find out about this cooperative venture book and so happy to see that you have taken on the Service Dog chapter. If I can help in any way, do ask.

Don't overlook the issue of Support Dogs, too. Service Dogs, like guide dogs, physical support dogs, those who fetch needed items, pick up dropped things, provide signal services and more are special special animals.

But sometimes while a Service Dog is not specifically needed or cannot be obtained, an Emotional Support Dog may be a valuable "quality of life" addition to a patient's life. When deemed important enough to a patient to be prescribed by a physician, they are also protected under most (not every single one) right of access federal laws and regulation, including guaranteed right to live with you, even in government subsidized housing. The only deal-breaker is a unit that is only 2-4 units.
