Dog makes woman's condition more manageable
Bryan County News ^ | December 25, 2011 | Mike Riddle

For Dallas LaPointe, having seizures is a part of her life. But with a new friend that she received from Long County, the seizures may be a little less dangerous. On Dec. 15, LaPointe picked up her new friend at the Puppies-R-Us pet shop in Hinesville. But this friend wasn’t from the store. Instead, it was from the Long County Animal Control Center. This new friend was a 2-year-old Doberman pinscher that had been picked up as a stray in Long County.

“We’ve had this dog for about two and a half months out at the center, and we’ve been trying to find him a good home,” Long County Commissioner Bobby Walker said. LaPointe previously had visited the Puppies-R-Us shop, looking for a dog that could be trained to help her with her seizures.

While she was at the shop, co-owner Cathy Ray said she knew of a perfect animal for her, but it wasn’t at her shop — it was at the center.

From there, Ray contacted Walker and made arrangements for the Fort Stewart soldier’s wife to meet the Doberman that everyone at the center called Dobie.

“109lb lap dog.”

Could be worse.

“Laughing Boy” walks along the back of the sofa and then wraps himself over my shoulders like a huge, heavy fur stole...and uses my left shoulder as a resting place for his massive head.

If I’m asleep, he’ll spread out across my hips to “guard” me until I wake.
My hips are killing me...LOL

[no wonder I’m aching everywhere, all the time]
