Riley’s school is public,and Jingle is protected under federal law. If a child had a phobia of wheel chairs, they wouldn’t ban wheel chairs from being in school. They’d have to figure it out. It’s not a peanut free school, and there are kids with peanut allergies attending. They’ve figured it out.

It’s just a new thing. As the commenter above said, the law is on our side, but I don’t know that a legal battle is in Riley’s best interest. The dog draws enough attention as it is. Throw on top of that MORE attention and it might defeat the purpose. Plus, we love the school. We’ll see how it all plays out. We have faith in the progressive staff there, and we have lots of community support.

Active participation doesn’t mean that it isn’t spirit lead.

In fact, active participation is what the spirit asks of us in this life.

There are ways to work out situations with people who have allergies, ways to work out people who are unsure about having a service dog in school, (lots of folks have come before you,) and ways to work with Principals.

You’re a great communicator! Don’t under esitmate yourself!

And–get help from Gingle’s school. You aren’t the first to experience these challenges.

The law is on your side.

Full Soul Ahead!

I see Jingle going all the way to school. Some day. Some way. Some where.

It will happen when and if the time is right.
