My Lovely Family Members!

I have 6 big breed dogs at home. I have a rottweiler, yellow lab, golden retriever & 3 great danes. Besides my kids & my husband, they r the LOVES of my life! I have a disabliity & I can't walk. We were going to train them ALL to help me around the house. But, we didn't get that far. I was in the kitchen making dinner & I dropped a spoon & ALL my dogs came to help me pick it up & they didn't even try to lick the food off of it! From then on, whenever I drop something, even it my family is home, I call one of my dogs to pick it up for me! So then I took turns taking them out in the public w/ me & they open dooors for me, in crowds they keep people from tripping over me or bumping into me. They help me in the grocery store, get food or drinks off the high shelves!
I used to have seizers. One day, I was home alone & I had a seizer in the shower. I pasted out, they all ran to help me! One of them went into my room & hit the panic button, while the rest of them tried everything they could to wake me up! They barked REAL loud, they jumped on me, they licked my face (to the point, that my face, hair & body were sopping water! I had already dried off. But, it didn't seem like I had. The parametics even asked me when I came to, "Why I tried to get out of the shower, while still wet"! I explained I had. That meant, my dogs had saved my life! They were all certified, right then and there! That's the story of my AMAZING & WONDERFUL big breed dogs! Everyone w/ a disability, should have at LEAST 1 big breed dog!
