Laurie - ongoing, oh man, I am so sorry. I hate that feeling, I know it’s hard That panicky feeling is just hard to convey...:hugs;

I agree-it’s my PTSD symptoms that are triggered regardless of mood states. I can’t cope with. I remember some scary things from a very young age.

Wild Coyote-oh no, I’m really sorry to hear what happened to you I’m sorry about your service dog too

My step father had a German Shepherd. He had a great temperament around him. I wasn’t able to handle the dog very well. I was absolutely safe with him, though. He would protect me. I used to take him for walks. Well, pretty much, though, he walked me.

I had a boy over once when no one was home. That poor boy shifted around, scared in his seat because the dog sat staring at him with a low growl going. That boy didn’t stay long, LOL.

If anyone asks me what kind of dog I have (dog props) I just say a German Shepherd
