This morning my dog returns home from his 2 weeks away at board and train. I am ***SO*** excited to see him. I cannot wait to take him for a good walk, relax with him for the day- and then begin our journey with Psychiatric Service Dog training tomorrow.
Today is going to be a most excellent day :)
Today my beautiful baby boy dog went off for 2 weeks of Board and Train. When he comes back- he and I will embark on our journey in psychiatric service dog training. I wanted him to have a great foundation set for the adventure he and I will take, and I know he will be *ripe* for learning so much more when he comes home. I want to be able to take him with me everywhere I go. I am investing in him because he and I both deserve it.
In the meantime- these 2 weeks are going to SUCK! He sleeps right next to me every night. He's never been away from home before. For the day I know he will be confused and maybe even scared tonight. But I know he will be happy among the other dogs, he loves the trainer, and he also loves learning. Hopefully, all of that will keep his mind off of why he was just whisked away from home. What was going on in his head as he was driven away from home without a family member alongside him bothers me more than how much I will miss him for 2 weeks.
As per the previous post, which was a pretty lengthy one… Today I learned that I won my disability case – 100% service connected, permanent and total.
I often thought if this would happen that I would be jumping out of my shoes with excitement. But yet, I saw the 100% service connected, and I was totally numb. Emotionless. In my soul, I know that I am filled with gratitude. But something about seeing that just also made me angry that I ever had to be in this position in the first place.
I’m going to work on my happiness because there’s nothing I can do about the past. Right now – I know that I’m going to be fine financially for the rest of my life.

I'm very very glad to hear that this has gone through. I know waiting for decisions like this is frustrating as hell. *hugs*
Oh, I am so happy this is finally finished and the stress of it can go away for you! I am sorry for the mixed emotions you felt. It's odd sometimes how something will hit us differently than we expect it to. The time to move forward now is finally in your grasp and nothing but positive vibes for joy and happiness are coming your way from me! :) *hugs*
Thanks, peeps!
