Hi John - welcome
A suggestion - get your dog standard Poodle registered as a medical Alert service dog. I would be totally and completely lost without my Makaylah (medical alert service dog - brown standard poodle).
The poodle is very smart and loves to learn - she even teaches me a few things. She taught me how to use my cane to get her ball out from under a coffee table. She picks up all her toys - she can help me undress. I locked myself out of apt. one day and she was able to get the door open (she was on the other side of door).
She helps me socialize as I tend to hide from people otherwise. She is very funny and makes me laugh. I am unable to have meds because of allergies. If I am focusing on her I don't think of the pain so much.
Hugs
Gerri & Makaylah
