I was absent on the day of the test last Thursday, but instead of just spending my time in bed and feeling all nasty I've decided to take care of other business that needs to be resolved in the next 2 weeks. Jaxx is my 5-month-old purebred Pitbull that I was blessed with on November 10th. This precious 6-week blue-eyed baby was the answered to all my problems that had to do with stress, school, and my family issues. Before I bought him and took him home, I asked all my roommates and made sure they were okay with having a dog in the apartment since we didn't sign up for one. All three of them agreed and actually seemed really excited about the idea. As long as he didn’t bark in the house, pee on the floor or in their rooms and the typical puppy stuff.

After having Baby Jaxx for a week I had him housed trained and the barking was never a problem. He knew his boundaries, like not going into the girls room or getting on the furniture 

It wasn't until 2nd semester about 1 week ago that I got a paper saying I need to remove my pet from my building within 1 day prior to receiving the letter. I found out that two of the girls made some calls to the clubhouse and apartment management that Jaxx was an issue and needed to be removed immediately. I was not only upset but confused as to why they didn’t come and talk to me first. But it was understanding because prior to this event we all were having issues just living together. A good friend of mine was talking to me about Jaxx and what are some options that I can do to keep him here, I just explained why I couldn’t let him go and that Jaxx was a huge stress reliever for everything that was going on in my life as far as… money, school, work, and family. So, my friend Christian told me to just make him my Emotional Support Dog since I fall under the categories. Christian helps me register Jaxx so now I have an official ID badge for Jaxx with his information and address. I showed the front office the card and told them that there’s no way Jaxx is leaving me and they respectfully approved the card but asked for a doctor’s note with it so they can have it on file and Jaxx can stay here with no problems.

It’s hard to get a doctor to give you an assessment within a week or two so I’ve been calling lots of places with a low price to set appointment(s).  So far, I’ve found one but they won’t be able to squeeze me in until two more weeks which in all honestly, I’m just happy that things are going the way I hoped they would. Its’s crazy how much we can love an animal and crave the attention that only they can give that no human can.
