head and chest on my head, and she would alert me of a pending seizure and get me to safety so I could lay down and have the seizure. She was never actually taught this but she started alerting when I needed to take medications too. She spent most of her time cuddling. She was trained for TBI, PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks. She was a lot smarter than people gave her credit for.
Kimmy was put to sleep back in February of 2018. I don't know if I am going to get another Service Dog. I'm not ready just yet. I got her in 2014. She was attacked by another dog two years ago and she fought back and got the taste for blood. Unfortunately, just because they're a Service Dog, at the end of the day they are still a dog.

Well Ziva is now 22 weeks old (as of July 2018). She is still in the early stages of her training but she is learning fast and picking up new things every day. Even though she isn't fully trained she still somewhat knows what she needs to do. About a week ago this past Sunday I was found passed out outside unconscious due to a reaction of medication and the extreme heat and she not
