Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I used to have one.. She was a sweety.. Her name was Ms. Wart.. She looked like a little wart when she was little.. Yes they are very warm.. If fact the XoLo pronounced sholow.. Actually xolociquence.. That is not the correct spelling.. They are an ancient breed over 3000 yrs. You can breed one with another dog and their gene is so dominant mine was not purbred.. Now they come in 3 different sizes.. Like poodles do.. Mine was a big girl..about the size of a lab.. They were eaten by the ancients also they kept them warm.. Have you seen pictures of them.. My sister in law just gave one away.. Bet -- service dogs Do any of you have service dogs? I saw one called a Xolos (common name is a Mexion hairless) that is supposed to help like a heating pad. the web site tells how this lady trains them to lay around the neck and be a service dog. I have emailed her but so far no response. Also when I tried to find out more and get one no one knows anything about them. etta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yes they are cute.. And when little wrinkley.. And they have tough skin.. I tried to give mine a shot And couldn't.. If you get one look up the skin care.. I never fussed with mine but they are easy to bath with hardly any hair.. Wart had a big tuff of hair on her head I would put a bow sometimes.. She would come over when I was brushing the poodles and want me to brush her too .. She was so sweet.. Their skin is sort of rough.. They do need sun screen if they are in a lot of sun..

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I hate to be the barer of bad news to everyone. Being a trainer my self and having a service dog who is licensed to work I assure you all that just having a need for a dog such as stress etc does not grant you the write to take that dog with you. The ADA clearly states the dog must be trained to do a task for you. The fact that you may feel better by just having the dog there does not qualify at all. And quanceqently those of us who have dogs who have been trained to guide such as my dog could loose our writes to have them in public from all the people taking dogs in public that are nothing more then just pets. They call them emotional support dogs and not even they are aloud in public unless they are trained to do a task. And again just sitting with you is not a task. Please do not abuse the law for those of us who use highly trained service dogs!!!! And do not kid yourself that the dog is a service dog as they are not unless they are trained to do a specific tast. And even with a dr note that dog does not qualify unless he or she is trained to do a specific task for you. Airlines may accept a pet on board for emo support but the ada does not!!!! And better yet the animal must be well trained well groomed and free of flees dirt etc when in public.

Oh I could sit here all day, typing up stories like this that have happened to me personally. One business (a grocery store) whose manager and security were way out of line with me, the next day I called the regional office and told them what happened. They were very upset, apologetic and made a promise that the store would be talked to and given the proper information about service dogs etc. The next time I went in there, the manager came to apologize, which was nice BUT his apology was tempered by his explaining about how frustrated he is of having so many people walk in with all sorts of pets, claiming them to be service animals when it is obvious they are not.

I could not tell you how many times I could have used and wanted him to go with me but left him home simply because he needed a bath and I hurt to bad to give him one that day and I would NOT take him out in public working, and risk going places where he might offend someone! Now all of that said, it *is* possible to have a small dog who is considered stress relief or depression aid etc BUT those are usually reserved for very severe cases of phobias and such where people can't leave their home without suffering serious panic attacks AND the animal has been professionally trained to assist them. I once knew a girl who had very severe phobias, she had been locked up at 8 years old by parents who didn't understand her disorder (severe epilepsy and mild autism) and she did not start to venture out into the world until she was 34 years old... and had such terrible panic attacks that they would trigger her epileptic seizures. She had a Pomeranian who had been specifically trained both as a stabilizing, calming influence and to detect oncoming seizures. That is a whole different world from " he makes me feel better " . No offense to anyone, and I realize the origional poster wasn't suggesting they do such a thing... I was just sharing some of my experiences on the subject.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 is a handsome dog.. This all started when someone just wanted the xolo because it is hot to touch and people with fibro love them For that reason.. I don't think she wanted to take it to Resaruants etc.. She just wanted a pet.. But she did see Where someone was training them.. That is how she was aware of the breed... But I gave her a email of a breeder Not a trainer..

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Curious here, how would a service dog help with depression? I thought service dogs were for people who were blind or people in wheelchairs etc who could reach things, stuff like that. How do they help with a mental illness??? Thanks, N.

And felt good to someone with fibro.. LOL But I will tell you my poodle help me when I am depressed sometimes lol It wasn't nessary a service dog just the dog that was Warm.. Bet -- Re: service dogs Curious here, how would a service dog help with depression? I thought service dogs were for people who were blind or people in wheelchairs etc who could reach things, stuff like that. How do they help with a mental illness??? Thanks, N. 1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Curious here, how would a service dog help with depression? I thought service dogs were for people who were blind or people in wheelchairs etc who could reach things, stuff like that. How do they help with a mental illness??? ------------------------------------------ Actually there are many legitimate things that service animals (not just dogs) do to help people with mental problems. For people with depression, sometimes just the presence of the animal... giving unconditional love and support, the responsibility of having to care for them etc... can make a huge difference. Some animals have been trained to be able to sense when the person is going into a depression and to make sure they take their medication and/or to alert others. This is especially true for Bipolar, when the animal can sense the subtle changes. Some people believe that the dogs are able to sense the subtle chemical changes that are happening before the outward changes occur. I have seen this in action myself and believe in it. They do the same for people with Epilepsy, they start out learning to assist the person during a seizure but there are many documented cases where the animal eventually starts alerting the person BEFORE the seizure strikes. They somehow learn to tell the subtle chemical changes that come with the seizure and learn to recognize it before the actual seizure. My best friends dog would alert her, lead her to her medications and make sure she was seated and safe, often as much as 5 minutes before her seizures hit. He could also dial 911 if she did not respond. My husband and daughter both have Bipolar, and both have service dogs whom assist them. My husbands dog in the ways mentioned above... and our daughters does those things but also will come and alert us if she is having night terrors or other problems while in her own room. There is tons of jobs now done by all sorts of service animals, dogs, cats, monkeys... I even know of a service ferret whose story is something of a miracle. If you would like to learn more about such things, I'd be happy to share some websites with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
