Get Outta w/ That Shit

Two situation in one weekend.
1) At the post office Saturday and a woman comes in w/ a doy in her arms, dog starts growling a t Happe. Thus sparking the clerk to say no dogs and the owner to snottly argue that  there is no 'no dogs' sign. Like its the businesses job to tell your stupid, entitled butt what you can and can't do, get real and some common sense.
2) At the Cheesecake Factory on Sunday, they went to sit someone w/ a purse dog near us, causing a lot of barking from the purse dog. Being the rockstar he is, Happe didn't bat an eye. -How do you not see the dog? 
-Why did you reseat them? Kick em out.
-Aren't you afraid it'll pee in your purse?

Service dogs get a bad reputation over shit like this. Grow up and get some common sense.
Thank you for making my life harder, NOT!

Thiss is the Face

This was written by a fellow Leader Dogs for the Blind alumni and is so true 
This is the face of a hard-working boy, who just finished a long day at work.
This is the face of a sweet boy, who wants to get home to his toys.
This is the face of a patient boy, who is waiting for his Lyft to take him home.
This is the face of a confused boy, who doesn’t understand why cars drive away when we approach.
This is the face of a hopeful boy, when another lyft pulls up.
This is the face of a sad boy, who is starting to recognize the words, no dogs.
This is the face of a sensitive boy, who will try really hard not to shed if someone will just please take us home.
This is the face of my well behaved service dog, who is legally allowed to accompany me everywhere.
This is the face of my well groomed service dog, who Is much cleaner than most of the people, children, food, drinks,  and personal belongings that are frequently transported in lyft vehicles.
This is the face of my beautiful service dog, whom Lyft drivers agree to transport when signing up for the platform.
This is a guide dog, who belongs to a Handler that is sick of being discriminated against for the same reason, over and over again.
 That being said, no matter what platform you drive on (lyft or uber) please read all the rules and laws  before you decide to become a driver.
