I desperately want to see a miniature horse service animal now.

I decided to get an early start on my annual training power-points this year. I have 17 to do this year. ADA/Service Animals, Asthma, Bloodborne Pathogens, Bullying, Child Abuse, Cultural Competency and Racial Bias, Diabetes Awareness, Diabetes Awareness Level II, Discrimination, Domestic and Sexual Violence, Ethics & Boundaries for School Employees, Mandated Reporter, Mental Illness Awareness for Educators, Needs of Expecting and Parenting Youth, Sexual Harassment, Suicide Prevention, and Teen Dating Violence. They take 10-30 minutes each. Some of these you have to do every year, some every other year. I’ve got credit from last year for ADHD, and Allergy Management/Food Allergies.

The website that runs these is timed, so you can’t click ahead through the slides. They have a quiz at the end, although I’ve learned over the years that you don’t actually have to get it right. If you get it wrong, it tells you the right answer and marks it complete. It used to be that you could log into multiple machines and knock them off quickly. I would go into my CAD lab, log into half a dozen machines, and knock them off in an hour. They closed that loophole last year though :/

Anyways, this slide made me laugh.

I don’t think it is a service animal, but for the longest time this guy in Fort Langley would tie a tiny horse outside a coffee shop with all the dogs.  About the same size as a large dog, but fuckin weird to see!

Dinky horses are apparently really good at being assistance animals as they can learn lots of stuff and live pretty long

So the news told me one upon a time

Service animals are great. People that claim thei r untrained dog/cat/whatever  is a service animal just to get them onto flights suck.

It’s all fun and games until someone brings one into your restaurant and every other patron complains.

Miniature horses are cool and all but this is what I want for a service animal

I’ve seen them training miniature horses for service therapy  by walking through the mall before. I think it was to get the horses accustomed to the noise of public spaces like that.  They all had “NO PICTURES, I AM TRAINING” signs from their harness’.

Golly gee, I don’t have that one on my list. I expect a detailed written report.
