Happe

So we went to Target today to get some mac n cheese because the store I buy from doesn't sell kraft dinner. WTH? Now to get to Target we have to go through the worst and deepest T station ever and I always get lost on the platform. Happe, on the other hand, tries very hard to get us out so he will find every way out. Today he led me to the elevator and the emergency doors (at least I think they were), which is absolutely amazing.

I don't think mom gives me enough treats for all of the good work I do.

Real Life

My life isn't as rosy as this blog makes it seem, in fact  I do a lot of cherry picking to give you the good bits but the truth is Happe makes mistakes, people are stupid, and my anger is quick to flare up. That is going to change, starting... now because life shouldn't be sugar coated.

1) Happe

There have been countless times I've told Happe to "find the door" to get into the T station and he'll walk me into the plate glass NEXT to the door.  Hell, he's walked me into the side of the train thinking it was the door onto the train. 

2) stupid people

A few weekends ago (5/13) we went to see an orchastra preform The Greatest Showman and that was fine, the theater was ready to be really accmodating even tho we didn't have ADA tickets. Everything was fine until we went to get  ice cream after the show. We walk in and are immediately told "no service dogs, I have open food".  First of all what the fuck do you mean by "open food"? Happe can come everywhere including restaurants, so I'm confused. Second, you said it yourself he's a SERVICE DOG so please reassess your statement, thank you. This happened awhile ago but it's relevant, the three of us are walkinh through the T station past all the shops that are there and this employee at the Dunkin Doughnuts calls out "come here doggie". Like wow. First you work in the food industry so, yes, serve me but leave my dog out of it

"hidden" struggle

I hate being am example of "hidden" struggles but here I am again, just another voice in the crowd crying discrimination. Tonight (5/15) we (husband, dog  and I) were denied an Uber because of the drivers ignorance and stubbornness. The driver claimed that denying me service because of the dog isn't against the law or Uber policy (it totally is BTW) and he (the driver) had allergies (Allergies or not you are required to take me unless they are  life threatening). I wish people would  fight this discrimination like they have anyothee problem but outta sight, outta mind I guess. *sigh*
