I put in for a service dog. Apparently, they can be good for people in wheelchairs to help with mobility and other things. Plus, it'll be nice to have someone who can help me so that Cassie isn't doing extra work for me. I found a program that pairs people with dogs fairly quickly, and I'll have to take some classes so I can get used to having one, but it's a step forward. I've had a woman involved with the program contact me, and I've already been paired with one.
This is Shep. We have to go to classes and get used to each other, but he's going to be mine. The good thing is too, is that because he's a service dog, I'll be able to actually take him most places with me, too.
