Joey the Service Dog

Joey is helpful and friendly.  She likes long walks on the beach, pina coladas, getting caught in the rain.  She is not into yoga.  She’s got half a brain.

Feeling much better. Three weeks outta the shelter!!!!

What a very different dog from day one of having her until this photo – 3 weeks.

Shiva was in a shelter about a year before bringing her home as my pet. After the first night with her, friends and family were calling to see how she was. I tell you, I got no sleep the night before! It was like sleeping with a chain saw, not exaggerating. Three weeks later, she definitely snores less loudly after plenty of good sleep.

Zoom meetings have been hilarious and she seems to let out an extra loud snore at just the right time.

Thanks girl,

Family says Five Guys restaurant refused service due to service dog

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – One family says they were discriminated against when they brought their service dog inside a local restaurant.

The family says they went inside Five Guys Burgers and Fries on Columbiana Drive and the manager told them the service dog wasn’t welcome because of the dog hair.

Carlie is a nine pound chihuahua that is a trained service dog because her owner David Davies suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and seizures.

They have their service animal papers although it isn’t mandatory to show your certification according to the American with Disabilities Act.

According to the family, the Five Guys manager said the dog would get hair everywhere.

“I said ‘this is my service animal. I have documentation if you want to see it.’ And she said ‘I don’t give a f’,” said David Davies.

He said the manager got so hostile another employee had to get in between her and Davies.

He started to have a panic attack so the family of seven chose to leave and contacted the corporate office.

“It’s discriminating and it hurts. It’s the only time. I got her in 2016 and this is the first time we’ve had this experience and we’ve had her all over the US. She’s been in Red Lobster and Joe’s Crab Shack,” said Davies.

His daughter is just upset at how poorly she says the manager handled the situation.

“I was more aggravated they were cussing because they were cussing and my 1-year-old was in my arms when she was yelling and coming at me. It was a toxic situation. It really was,” said Kelly Pressley.

We reached out to Five Guys corporate, but they didn’t return our phone calls.

We went inside the restaurant on Columbiana Drive and they said it is under investigation so they can’t comment.

Five Guys corporation offered Davies a fifty dollar gift card, but he wants an apology from the manager and better education on service animals for the Five Guys’ employees.

My Gorgeous G. G.

After my anxiety has been gone down. It always seems like all we want to do is go to sleep… G.G. and I share a emotional trauma bond. She was abandoned an discarded an she wasn’t valued for she is.

Every time I have to leave her home I get the sad eye, I know that she worries if I’m coming back. I’ve promised her I’d never leave her, no matter what. I’ve been devalued all my life and discarded I understand the feeling of abandonment. Im getting better, as is she. Love u GG
