[QUAD-L] People claiming their pet is a service animal...
Have any of you had any problems with other people claiming their pet is a service animal when it is not? Apparently people are not allowed to ask for proof anymore so just anyone can claim that their animal is certified. While I was on the boardwalk a dog lunged at my service dog and the gentleman patrolling asked me to go to the security office and get a tag identifying my dog as a service animal. The people in the security office said that they knew who the dog was that lunged at my dog but the owners claimed the dog was certified and they could not prove otherwise because they are not allowed to ask. I know that this animal was not a service animal and I know that if it would've gotten hold of my dog it would have been fatal. The dog was a pit bull and immediately crouched into an attack posture as soon as we walked by. My service animal is lab and pit bull and I have no problem whatsoever with pit bulls. I know that it's hard for some people to produce a certificate proving that their animal is a service animal but the people in the office said that it is getting ridiculous and asked if there was anything that could be done? You guys have always been a big help so I thought I would bring the question to your attention and get your thoughts.

Security is correct-no certification needed and all they can ask is What does your animal do for you? www.iaadp.org _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 3:34 AM To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] People claiming their pet is a service animal...

RE: [QUAD-L] People claiming their pet is a service animal...
Hi Tammie Lou, Liz is correct about not requiring a service dog (animal) ID, vest or certification _BUT_ if *any* animal shows agressive behavior or has a history of such they can ask the owner to leave until the problem is correxcted. No public place is required to allow agressive or dangerous people, like being able to toss you out of a bar for trying to pick fights (not from personal experience, mind you...lol). The same applies to pets in Petco, etc. and service animals anywhere. So while a Certificate is never needed, it would be wise for boardwalk security (or any place of business) to keep a log of complaints of agression and even give written warning so they can avoid an ADA Title III discrimination charge.

Both of my dogs require to have a medallion. It has been too long ago that I've read the ADA, but I thought the animal was required to be easily identified as a service animal.

When in doubt, check with the experts like Paws for a Cause and some of the certified training school for the legalize. Ask them about the product liability requirement should you have an aggressive guide animal. Have them email you the answers and have them laminated for safe keeping.

[QUAD-L] Baclofen Pump?
For those who have them or were selected to be candidates for the internal pump, most are pleased for several reasons. Less amount of actual drug used. The drug is presented to the actual site rather than having to be processed first. Its automatic, no forgetting. Those who previously have violent spasms, noticed the difference within the first 24 hours. Keep in mind, this is always a private matter between the candidate and their doctors.

Re: [QUAD-L] Health Update
Dana, I am doing pretty good. My therapy is going very well. I am getting a lot of stretching exercises per doctor's orders. I wasn't getting any stretching at home, and my muscles were very tight. I have also been working on, sit to stand exercises. They are also going very well. One of my goals was to be able to feed myself. I have been working on that and have been able to eat most meals without assistance, yeah! I had to have the maintenance guy sharpen a fork for me, so it will be easier to stab my food in order to pick it up. I have to be extra careful, so I don't stab myself in the tongue while eating, LOL! Thanks for thinking about me. Keep me in your prayers.
