Im so proud of my Service Dog!!

I have been working with a Medical Alert Dog for a while now. Today she took her first full trip to Wal Mart. She did so well, Im soo proud of her!

It wasnt easy but she managed to ignore all the squealing kids, the adults ohhing and ahhhing over her. She even let one person pet her. Yea yea I know its against the rules but when the manager of Wal Mart is trying to throw out your Medical Alert Dog you start bending the rules to disprove the myths in their head.

We actually went to Wal Mart twice today. Had to go back because we forgot something of course. The first trip went by without a hitch, no one said anything, no one even noticed. It was on the second trip that we ran into the hitch. We were actually at the check out line when two employees aproached me, my son, and the dog.

I was actually shocked because by the end of the conversation and our little "show and tell" the employee that called me out actually admited she knew someone close to her that had a seeing eye dog that she helps care for. And I really thought my dogs "Medical Alert Dog" tag and her intro cards would be enough to pass any one off. Not these ladies, (yes she brought back up), I still had to show them that my dog was people friendly and had training. Um, Wal Mart, thats ILLEGEAL.

Anyhoo, I started this whole blog to brag about how good my girl did and I ended up griping about the idiots at walmart. I will admit the look on their face was priceless when I informed them she was a Medical Alert Dog. I thought she was going to choke. LOL.

And the adventure continues......
