The problem is, I NEED one.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but I have epilepsy. I don't have the grand mal seizures, but when I do have a seizure, I become blind and almost deaf, can't stand or walk, or hardly even speak, and am basically incapacitated.
And lately, I have been having more seizures. This worries me, and after a previous severe and public (at the mall) seizure, I have been considering getting a S.A.D.
I'm afraid that the next seizure I have could be seen by the wrong person who realizes my vulnerability, and takes advantage of me. I could be robbed, assaulted, or worse...but if I had a dog with me, I might be safe.
After visiting several S.A.D websites and seeing the sky high prices and waiting lists, I will probably have to train my own pup. It will be a lengthy process, but it will be worth it.
