What do I do for my mom?

I mentioned in my last entry that I do alot for my mom.  So, I thought I would tell my devoted readers what I do.

Of course, I am the best dog ever (Mom says so) and keep her company and make her smile.  But I actually have a job!

I am training to be an assistance and medical alert dog for my mom.  She has some crazy undiagnosed illness that makes her unable to use her arm.  So I am helping her.  I carry a backpack with all of her stuff (Mom says I'm the cutest purse dog she has ever seen!).  I also go get my grandmom when Mom tells me too.  She is working on teaching me to open doors, turn lights on and off and pick things up for her.

The most important thing I do is tell my mom when she is going to start shaking.  Mom calls it a tremor attack and I can tell her when she is going to have one, so she takes a pill and she doesn't shake for very long.

Right now I don't get to go with my mom all the time, but she says soon I will be something called certified and I will get a cool badge and patch and get to go everywhere with her!  I can't wait!
