Introduction
Hi, I'm Milissa. I'm 24, married with a 3 yr-old little boy. My Service Dog is a 4 yr-old Doberman called Book and my pet dog is a 6 yr-old pitbull mix named Daystar.
What are your major life activities; hobbies, favorite interests, etc.?

I love all things about dogs and training, but I also love horseback riding, tropical fish, scrapbooking, sewing, SHOPPING, hanging out with my family, getting time AWAY from my family? you know, the usual stuff.

Do you have any animals in your life? How many? What kind?

I have 2 dogs now (Book, SD, and Daystar, pet), 3 Bettas Splendens (Uae, Jhou, and Sokka) , a tank of tropical fish (Notch, Dandy, Old Yeller), 2 pet crawfish (Fred and Wilma), and a 3 yr-old little boy, Brenden. Yes, he counts as an animal. I also have co-ownership of a white Standard Poodle show dog called D'Artagnan.

Do you handle a Service Animal or Assistance Dog?

Yup. His name is Book, and he's a bit of a pansy. He is the only dog I have ever met that really cannot swim? he just kind of thrashes about in a panic until he either reaches a place he can touch the bottom or someone rescues him?. Because of that? and other things he does? when someone asks me if he bites, I just say, "Nah, he's just a big pussy cat,".

What breed is your Service Animal? How long have you had him/her?

Book is a 4 yr-old Doberman Pinscher. I have had him for a bit over 3 years.

What is the coolest task your Service Animal performs?

Book alerts me to my medical condition and does lots of things that help me keep from falling over.

Meetups in the Making

  •  Atta girl, Milissa. I was walking out the door when an urgent phone call came that I needed to tend to. I'm sorry about the others, perhaps weather in addition to illnesses played a part. You are doing a terrific job at spearheading the group. All my appreciation.
