Highly trained and recommended ~

Pioneering the way ~ a broadened deep horizon
that is plagued to stay ~ enriching the lives of veterans

Hunting ~companion ~ ILP program ~ Indepandent means of living thru vocrehab ~ VA issuance for rehabing veterans signifacantly reducing ptsd symptoms and assasinating to a lowerd stage ~ with this injection of a service dog and 24/7 support ~ "It can be done" ~ To elivate ~ and grounding. To bring the NOW ~





It is illegal to ask what the service dog is for

It is Not illegal to ask ~ if it is a service dog.

It is illegal to imposter as a Service animal-

and not have proper papers. It is a felony -

It is a misdemenor to interfere with a Service

animals work and disabled person. Wearing a

vest on the Service animal indicates it is

working and allows public the knowledge .

There are certain Service animals passed

by Congress and law ~ on what type of

animals are acceptable in general public.

Check with those guidlines and those laws

before getting the animal ~ A new law passed

2008 . These Service animals are allowed on

planes, buses, boates, banks, resturants, ect.

all but surgical places- in general.

The idea of the Service animal is to accompany

and lower the sympmtoms; not arouse them

and wearing a vest helps reduce the questioning

for me anyway- in general public.

No one asks me or questions- 1% is ignorant

on service animals because I am not blind

nor imobile- A Service Animal is a

Service Animal. Doesnt matter what he is for;

matters I have those papers and Id on him- the

vest just stops people from asking- and increases

support. They think it is great. The ignorant get

sued.

Good woofin to you....

What are the effects of PTSD?

Untreated PTSD can have devastating, far-reaching consequences for sufferers' functioning and relationships, their families, and for society. Women who were sexually abused at earlier ages are more likely to develop complex PTSD and borderline personality disorder. Babies that are born to mothers that suffer from this illness during pregnancy are more likely to experience a change in at least one chemical in their body that makes it more likely (predisposes) the baby to develop PTSD later in life. Individuals who suffer from this illness are at risk of having more medical problems, as well as trouble reproducing. Emotionally, PTSD sufferers may struggle more to achieve as good an outcome from mental-health treatment as that of people with other emotional problems. In children and teens, PTSD can have significantly negative effects on their social and emotional development, as well as on their ability to learn.
























Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

"More than 6,000 veterans committed suicide in 2005 alone --that's 120 veterans a week. Trained service dogs can help. PTSD National service dogs are tasked specifically for veterans with PTSD. They promote independent living, alleviate stress, can help reduce the frequesncy of medical visits, and significantly decrease symptoms of anxiety. Trained serice dogs are an opportunity for veterans to combat suicide by regaining much needed peace, dignity and joy in their lives. Read more to find out how your strong support can help connect a service dog to a veteran. " (5.2 million veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Multiply that by 4. It affects family, friends, co-workers and communities) The tremor effects and it's magnitude can rock inside like an earthquake and underlying effect can have catrosophical effect and aftermath around each one of us. which is unpleasant. A service dog for veterans can reduce those symptoms and unpleasant magnitude.

The Hidden Injuries

Post tramatic stress disorder affects familes/friends/co-workers and communities. It rocks inside like an earthquake and the aftermath has tremor affect that is unpleasant. What can we do about it. Intervention. Supply with counselors, doctors, and strong support 24/7 that is much needed in communities and beyond. It starts within. A lethal injection of a service dog .To assasinate some of those symptoms and to lower the anxities that flow. A PTSD service dog , or which ever one wants to call him/her at his/her side is an intervention program that elivates those deep embeded symptoms of ptsd. Which some are too deep to explore. Only a k-9 with a deep sense would know it. Some k-9 ;s have true abilities to know first hand such instincts over human. We all know many rescue dogs are capable of such things. Bomb squad ect and search and rescue. Service dogs have been around for sometime now and ADA and Fair housing certainly are ahead of us. VA drs signed for my service dog. This is good news. Only one would encounter goverment encounter of refusal in a public establishment to turn down a veterans service dog issued out by a VA- for a veteran. HUD and ADA backs this up.
What this is intended for is I have written congressman of montana, govener of montana, and the Senator of Montana. What is the proposal - "Specialized Medical Equipment" issued of prosthetics department of the VA system and that it become part of the VA branch system. Perhaps this stigma disapear in the process.!
That in the process, the service dog is allowed to be accompanied into public to lower the anxities of the veteran and assist the veteran into public. The response I have gotten myself as a veteran from public in general is very supportive. 99% of the people I encounter is gladly accepting me and my service dog into the public. Buses, post offices. banks. hospitals, drs appointments, grocery stores, and especially my dr appts. The staff at the medical VA esepecially welcome him at my hospital stay I had inpatient stay four days- my service dog was with me- the staff treated me very well. Ive been treated very well- with my service dog-I have gotten out much more than I used to and travel more feeling safe and secure- that feeling alone- is -powerful for me. Independant means of living. I have interest in previous hobbies that I one time had prior to tramas- and have passion that I hadnt before. Having an interest in life.
There is that one small percentage out there- however that we are aware of that is being addressed -the stigma that exsists, that can become lager than the 99%- for a moment. But with that strong support that exsists to remove the stigma of the low 1% to be dealt with- in time- it will be over riden. Both in remedies, monetary values and educated ways. That very small 1% is uneducated. They will be dealt with thru the civil matters- of civil rights- of discrimination laws. That is how this stigma gets removed.
At any rate, I do appreciate you looking into this website. Alot of my life has changed since I got my service dog fully into my life as of June 30, 2008. I have picked up a bridge of my life that I have long missed, and the service dog is my bridge to that life.
I hope this brings hope for someone else as it has for me. Or inspires another veteran is what this is about. The ultimate goal is, that the Veteran administran issue Veteran service dogs for veterans for this issue. In which is being
accomplished. Thank you most for the support. National support.
Thank you ~

Iraq therapy ~Vet dogs~
Companions~service dogs~therapy
Service k-9 (It is not the law to wear vest-but it helps others know leave your animal alone- and He/ she is working- and the animal also knows it is working with the vest on. It also demonstates professionalism. It is against the law and misdeamenor and felony to interfere with a Service animal. It is actually very enpowering! I have alot of respect - and alot of people wanting to PET my service animal- . More postive response comes with the vest. The vest I have my service animal wear is much smaller than the one demonsttated here. It is not as obvious. This also is a change. At first I was not sure- I was shy about it and afraid to go - and after sometime- now I am so comfortable to go places with him- it is second nature and he has become my entire life. People at the store now know us at here comes Zeus and Christina - and then they educate those other people and tell them "dont pet the Service animal " he is working" the response is so encouraging and supportive for me. My doors have become wider than they were. It is much different now than it was. A program with counseling and the service dog- and time to adjust to society and new lifle step by step- I dont do anything more different than before- except feeling more secure with him and safe even in my own home. Evertime I wash my dishes- he is standing behind my back- covering me- watching the doors to make sure nothing is going to GET US. and at ATM;s and such. He is on constant alert- when I am on the phone- watching tv - on the computer. Whatever I am doing , I know I am ok and taken care of with him taking care of me with his trained tasks not to mention his k-9 abilities. )

" I will never forget, Not because I dont want to but because I cant. " and those that echo with me- My wish is hope is peace - inside."

'I do not know what to say- other than thank you- and
life is very short, no matter what has happend in the past- I try to
live for tomorrow, they tell me to live for today
but if I live for tomorrow- then I am living like there is tomorow
therefore- my passions and dreams are being met I hope!

I will never forget- not because I dont want to, but because

I cant. And those that echo with me,
my hope is that peace resides inside.

I love and wish for that for you today!'

I dont think I have anything -

it is everybody else.

I seriously beleive I did not have anything wrong with me- so move forward and not backward- or try to. First and foremost get the treatment whatever it is needed. I also want to say- The beast will show up in your life- when It feels like - or grow- and or tear it up- or just linger around- like a shadow - or dust out your home and or house like waves. Sometimes mild forms- and or earthquakes! Magnitude can be devastating and sometimes can take a lifetime to show up. The best thing I can suggest- is early confrontation to that- stuff. Power it off- before it does try to dust into your home.

It is for Strong support

America, we can not turn back, not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for, with an economy to fix, and cities to rebuild, and so many families to mend. America we can not walk alone. "

I personally want to thank, My vocrehab counselor of the VA, my therapist, my medical dr's of the VA in Montana all which dilegently helped this process, the team of Nami of Montana, American Legion, my Congressman of montana, Govener of Montana, my Sentator of Montana, my Service dog trainer who was patient enough to walk thru this with me, Yuku - of VBN - and DAV- and all Ive been in contact with regarding the service dog- working together with strong support in a postive manner gave hope and compassion to be heard from someone as myself with chronic ptsd - meant alot and possible changes in the future. Thanks are many- and salutes. To stand strong and Proud. Most importantly, I thank my immediatly family with deepest sincerity and love ~ for always being there thru the most difficult times and still remain to this day especially my two sons. May this service dog bring new hope and new light into my life with lighter burdens into my life and open new doors and perhaps to other veterans as well as this journey begins.
