I forgot to mention that when Pumpkin came into our life, he had a sarcoma the size of a golf ball on his left front leg. We had it removed; it was malignant, with a high chance of recurring, although not likely to metastasize. It's since come back and been removed two more times.

The vet. surgeon says as long as we catch it small, he can remove it. If Pumpkin should need to have that leg amputated at some point, we should remember that in his opinion, dogs are born with three legs and a spare.

Jill--thanks for letting me put Pumpkin's story on my blog. And for adding this about his cancer. Jeanne

What a lovely story. My dog is not an official service dog (I can't take him to appointments or on the bus, unfortunately) but he is a great comfort to me - and he gets me out of the house and moving when nothing else would!

Exactly! Constant does that for me too. We just came back from a walk through the park, complete with a stop at the stream for Connie to play catch in the water. Jeanne

That makes me want to designate Sadie as a service dor. She certainly provides me with a service

Lisa--I don't see why you couldn't. I'm working on a "how-to" post and will have it up soon. Then Sadie can go everywhere with you.
