Poor Dusty had been having to deal with so much. On top of everyone wanting to pet her she had some lady Try to take her out of my bag I carry her in. She saw the patch. Read the patch and yet still tried to pick her up. In greatfull to the lady behind us who stepped in before I could even get a word out and informed her she was breaking the law. I love my community. We are starting to get recognized in the area and there are people who advocate for me. I'm proud of Dusty. She didn't bark are snap at the lady when the lady reached for her. she just pulled her self further into her bag.
Then at another store we had a very sweet family who interacted with us so well. You could tell the little girl really wanted to pet Dusty and the mom gently reminded her that she couldn't. I love parents who educate their kids on a positive note. Thank you momma for doing that. Well I'm off to bed. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Lavonne leg is swelling today so we have her feet up. Both girls know she isn't feeling well so they are snuggling with her..... but keeping a close eye on me. It's amazing to watch them work. .

17/11/2023

Well valuable lesson learn.... don't blow the drive off on a windy day. Lol the wind blew all that crap right into our face. I was using the scooter to drive down the driveway with the leaf blower and Dusty was riding with me. The wind changed direction and we got dusted. Dusty got a bath and I got an asthma attack and my face all poofed up.

10/11/2023

I hate feeling like this. Dusty is on it today. She is alerting and helping me stay on top of my symptoms. Thats about all I can do

10/11/2023

Mom your about to have an asthma attack. Dusty is on it tonight. Faithe is backing her up. This one was really bad. Glad I have my inhaler and benadryl. I'm apparently now allergic to this Linement we all have been using to help with Arthritis pain for yrs. Got to love my body. When it tanks, it goes big. When this flares up I can have any number of issue. I haven't felt good for a number of days. Lots of pain, and wanting to rest a lot. Welcome to autoimmune. Your body will say let's play guess what issue we can cause today.

09/11/2023

When the girls are doing their job because I'm not feeling good.Someone wants to take our picture, he turns on the light. Bright light... bright light..... omg 😲 I love my husband. I promise I do. But I don't have to like him all the time. Lol 😆 look at Dusty. Even she isn't happy. Faithe is use to this as you can see clearly.

07/11/2023

Low blood suger = midnight snack. And 2 mooching dogs. They alerted. I went to get something for both Chris and I and these 2 wanted some of ours and their alert cookies. Lol 😆

06/11/2023

Oooppppssss I had a coffee and didn't give insulin. Now I'm waiting in doctor office with cookies and insulin in car. And Dusty is letting me know it's on its way up. I guess I'll run out and hope they don't call me back before I get back from the car.

03/11/2023

It's a weighed blanket and 2 dogs laying on you kind of day. Lots of pain and not feeling good= down day for me

01/11/2023

So did you dress your fur baby up for Halloween? I forgot what today was, so I didn't dress Dusty in a costume when we went out today. Hope you had a great Halloween 🎃.

I love Libra Freestyle2 14day glucose monitoring system. I have had an issue over the last 3 sincer. I didn't call because I thought it was something I may have done wrong. But after this last one really messing up I had enough. I was shopping when Dusty alerted and I tried to scan only to get an error reading over and over. Both Dusty and I were getting upset. I got to the car called the company. Got a great lady who was very sweet and understanding. She validated my frustration and reassured me that it most likely wasn't anything I did wrong, because I have been using this for so many yrs. She replaced all 3sincers. I was not expecting any to be replaced. Just another reason I love them. If I ever have an issue they make it right and take care of their customers.

29/10/2023

It's cold and raining.... snuggle time. Hope you all are staying dry and warm.

29/10/2023

Hummmm interesting

26/10/2023

Mom only one bite... your about to set your alarm off.,,

26/10/2023

Hummmm do I get cake or not? Dusty said,"mom you better not eat a whole piece of cake."

26/10/2023

Yummy in my birthday tummy. Now let's hope she stays in there so I can have cake. Lol

25/10/2023

Enjoyed a great evening with Tamara and her parents tonight. I was a little nervous because Dusty hadn't been to a show in a long while. I was ready to stand in the back if she got over welmed with the band. Nope not Dusty. She was fascinated with the trombone and the drum set. Listen to every change in pitch and tone. It was comical at one point. She would pick her head up and watch them, turning her head from side to side. I think she enjoyed it. She stayed very relaxed and alerted when she needed to and just laid there listening. So proud of her. She is a nut when at home but one point when she is on the job.

22/10/2023

Dusty working on her down stay. She isn't happy about it but she is begrudgingly staying in her seat. Lol she is hyper alerting to every little thing. The nail tech was a little ruff on my nails and every time my BP went up she would alert. After like the 3rd or 4th time he asked, why is she doing that? I told him the truth. After that he was more careful with his fileing.
Before someone says she isn't in vest I'll remind you that service dogs do not have to be vested, or marked. But I will tell you that the bag she is laying on did have a patch on it. Plus it was a warm day and the salon was very warm. Her comfort is important for her to do her job. The vest we have is to hot for her to wear in that temperature. I can't tell you how many times someone ask about why she isn't vested while working.

21/10/2023

When your trying to drive and Dusty says "mom suger is dropping". Of course we are in the middle of no where and there isn't a place I can stop and get something. So she stays there alerting.

21/10/2023

Having 2 service dogs means twice the alerts. When your having medical issue that means constant alerts.....×2. I can't be upset at them. They are doing their jobs. But omg it can get stressful. Thank the heavens for them. But holy-moly these 2 are on it today.

20/10/2023

I spent decades trying to find the root cause of all my issue. Then I found out I have EBV. Got told it's no big deal by my doctor's. I took them at their word. They are doctors after all. After going natural and finding a naturalpathic doctor while in Florida, I found out it is a big deal. It destroyed my thyroid. Causing almost all my symptoms. I spent almost 2 yrs working with this doctor to put EBV in remission. I was feeling better. Now over the past 2yr I have been feeling like crap again. Lots of blood work, test and doctors....I should have known this was the root of all my issues. EBV. Well I'm going back on my protocol and hopefully I can knock this crap back into remission before it does too much damage to my body. I suggest you read the article I posted last night if you have mysterious symptoms and all your labs come back in the "normal" range. But you still feel like crap and nothing can explain your symptoms. Go get tested for EBV.

20/10/2023

Don't let a doctor tell you EBV is no big deal. Those dipsticks don't realize just how bad it can get when it flares up. There are several different strains of this virus. I hate when some smart ass says crap like this last one when I asked him about if i was having a flareup or could that cause what he is worried about. "Oh everyone over 30 has it. It's no big deal". Well dipstick that may be true but not everyone has the strain that will kill you slowly and painfully.this article has some really good reading on it and somethings on how I put it into remission a few yrs back. Looks like I need to get back on that protocol.

Epstein-Barr virus causes mononucleosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, some types of cancers, autoimmune diseases and more.

20/10/2023

Well I finally got an answer to a part of my issue. I'm having an EBV flare up. My levels are up pretty high. Oh what fun this is going to be to try and get it back in remission. Could be why both girls are alerting to the other issue that EBV likes to throw out of wack.

18/10/2023

Not sure why this didn't post yesterday but Faithe was alerting and we had to remember what this alert was because she hadn't needed to alert to this issue in a long while. As you can hear at the end dusty alerted to my blood suger up and the sincer went off.

14/10/2023

Our page is growing again. We would like to thank you all for your support. And welcome all our new comers. Faithe is my retired service dog. She is 14 yr old. Dusty is now full time public access service dog. She is 3. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I have traveled most of the eastern states of America and into the mid west. We moved from the south, AL, GA, FL area, to the middle of the country, Missouri. Where are you all from?

11/10/2023

It's the alert line. 😆 Dusty is waiting in line for her turn to alert. Got to love tandem alerts. As of one isn't enough to get the point across.

10/10/2023

Well we tried a new groomer today. The girls are not happy but I'm loving their new hair cute. She did a great job. If your in our area the lady at Trendy pets in Greenfield mo did a great job.

10/10/2023

Well look at this I got some kind of Acknowledgment for all of you looking at our page. Lol

09/10/2023

When I had the orange my levels where 78 with an arrow straight down, so it was falling. When I tested because they alerted it was 148. About 20 min later the alarm went off on my meter saying my suger was at 200. It was a small tangerine. And I only had half of it because I share with my mother in law. My suger have been dropping and spiking like crazy. I do have an appointment for a new primary next week. So I'm hoping to get to the bottom of what's going on.

07/10/2023

Dusty is ready for Halloween. Carrie got her costume today from the vendor next to us.

"Mom told me to stay in my seat. Well mom your suger keeps dropping. I'm being a good girl and my butt is in my seat and I'm alerting from it. I know you hear me. "

06/10/2023

Keeping a close eye on me today. My suger keeps dropping for no reason. If your in Springfield Missouri stop by Timless Treasures this weekend and say hi to us and get some great deals

06/10/2023

Yes little dog does know more then the meter. She had been on point with her alerts. And getting frustrated because my sincer isn't working as fast as she is. Lol it was more then 5 minutes later before my meter finally registered the spike.

04/10/2023

I have given a fake name before. We have 3 names for each girl. There is one name we use that the girls know they are to ignore everything around them but the command I give them. Then there is their name we use all the time and then the name I give out to people who I think would cause issues for us.

03/10/2023

So now that Facebook is allowing more people to see our page, I'll say welcome to our new friends. Thank you for taken the time to check us out. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Our goal is to educate and advocate for legitimate small breed service dogs. Faithe, is on the left, she is my retired medical alert service dogs. She has been with me for over 14 yrs. We have been a team for most of that. Dusty is 3 and now works full time public access. I'm truly blessd to have these girls. I owe my life to these girls.

03/10/2023

Hummmm, thinking about getting this for the girls. What do you think? Would you guys like to see training video using these? Might make understanding Dusty alerts easier. Lol

Thank you Demon.Dog.Duo for explain this so well. Some people don't understand that it takes a little bit for the meds to kick in and some times the dogs will continue to alert until the issue has started to resolve.
