hellllllllooooooo and welcome Eileen!!!!!!!

I loved reading your real life story and how you found GAbby Jack Ranch
and you're right us doodle-aholic people just luvvvvvv our doodles to no end!!!

they sweet, very smart, almost intuitive as they mature, train with enthusiasm and quickly
they'll be comical on minute and then ever so loving resting a head on your lap looking at you
with the most soulful eyes aka the "awwwwww" moments.

hearing your trials and tribulations till you found Gabby Jack Ranch well makes me even Happier
that Jac had a vision/dream that came true to help out people such as yourself Eileen!
i can just imagine the excitement, relief and happiness you must feel

Can't wait to see a pic of your new doodle puppy down the line and you too.

Congrats seems in order all the way around to you EILEEN!!!!
and while you may have a disability down the line your doodle will give you the ability to enrich your life

GLAD you joined!!! Your post really did warm my heart and give me a GREAT smile
what a great way to start off my day reading your post....thank you

PS we have severe allergies too and both our doodles have worked out well for the past 2.5yrs

Eileen, thanks for your post! I believe in what Jac is doing! From the moment I learned about what she does I was hooked! I loved hearing about your search and can't wait for pictures when you get your baby! What a wonderful way to start my day! Thanks!

WELCOME EILEEN!!

You see, I am not in a wheelchair, my disability is entirely invisible and I can ‘pass’ for able-bodied easily

This fits ME to a T!
My Bogart is also a Service Dog. When people ask if I'm training him and I say that he is mine, I get such strange looks!

Although I couldn't get one of Jac's pups as I live in Michigan and she in CA, she was more than willing to help me and answer my questions on just how to go about this.
I treasure her!! She is one compassionate and loving woman!!

I am so happy that your search has ended and you found Jac! I can't wait to hear your stories and successes!!

Welcome to the forum Eileen! What a wonderful story with a happy ending! You could not have found a more compassionate person than Jac and her ranch to help you fullfill your needs...I'm looking forward to hearing stories and seeing pics of your new baby when you get him! Please, by all means share with us!

Eileen! Hi!! Welcome!

Thanks for the very nice post...I appreciate your kindness and I hope that others will feel encouraged to consider a service dog now that you have so clearly identified the nature of invisible disabilities. Linda has been a great advocate for recognition of such challenges...and, although, I hate to see people in pain and suffering...I am glad that there is a movement to recognize those invisible issues too...and I am very happy to play a small role in helping.

I know that you will enjoy this forum! Let me see if I can find a picture of Montana and Boomer to post...(FYI, Montana is the pup in line for Eileen, but we have a backup, Boomer, who is really excelling in his training...Montana is doing very well too, though, so I expect that he will belong to Eileen soon.)

Welcome Eileen! That is such a great story. We all here think what Jac is doing is GREAT! and glad to hear about it from you. Can't wait to see your little one in Aug/sept.

Eileen,
Welcome to the forum, and along with the others, also love your intro story and welcome hearing more from you in the future. This is a great group of supportive souls and their beautiful doods too!

Eileen,

Wow! What a tremendous testimony...both parts, your story and search and then finding Jac at Gabby Ranch!
I appreciate your interest in a Doodle for one of the best, most loving and supportive little pals in the world!
Jac has beautiful dogs and you will find it is love at first sight!! Maybe by now, you've had a chance to see
your puppy.....I haven't been on the forum in a long while. By the way, nice to have you join us! This is
a great forum for a zillion reasons! Welcome!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I have not had a chance to meet my future service dog. I am busting at the seams to see him. SO I making myself busy reading positive training books, service dog training & researching food etc.

'Lindamarie' - a hidden disability is a unique challenge, glad to find another invisa-sister (that is my my professor of psychology of disabilities calls us. We have so much more to deal with as a woman with a hidden illness.) have you found a place to get a service dog??? IF you need help selecting a place I might be able to help. I have done alot of research. However, I do feel I won the geographic lottery - living near enough to Jac and Gabby Jack Ranch - Canine Service Connection. Such a blessing.

I have several questions that I want to ask you all, the experts...I think I should post them in the other section.

I am looking forward to getting to know folks and your Doodles!

Hi, you are not alone I too have an hidden handicap. I am trying to train my Tia to be a service dog for me. It is hard to do on my own but due to money that is the breaks. I am so glad things worked out for you.
