Not quite sure if I have this in the right place so moderators please feel free to move this.
I have been thinking for years that I would love to have a dog and train it to be a pat (pets at therapy) dog. The only problem was I worked too many hours and didn't really have time. I have now been forced to reduce my hours due to this wonderful Lupus thing and have been thinking about it again.
What has got me thinking was (as I am a vet nurse) I was taking to a client who has a guide dog a real inspirational lady, she has also now been diagnosed with Lupus and said that the best thing is her dog as it motivates her to get out and about.
I was just wondering what other peoples experiences are / have been. I have my cats and as wonderful and cuddly as they are (well one of them is cuddly) I don't think they would appreciate a lead and collar (or harness).
I would be grateful of everyone's input / experience.
