About Us

I am the mom of two precious young boys named David and Joshua.

David has been severely affected by Autism and we are currently trying to get him a service dog that can help make his life both safer and calmer.  You can learn more about us and our mission to get David the help he needs by visiting our website at www.DogForDavid.com.  We also have an Autism awareness video posted there at the bottom of the first page that we would love for you to see and share.

This blog is being created as a means to track David’s Autism as part of a request we received as well as a way to give our supporters and followers a more personal look at who David is and who we are and what our Autism journey looks like.

Please feel free to look around, read, share, and/or follow us as much as you want.  And please check out our official website to learn more about us and see how you can help. : )

    I just wanted you to know that I visited and I will check back often. I want everything to work out for all of you.

    • Thank-you so much :) You have been such a huge source of support and encouragement. Especially emotionally. I am truly thankful to have you in our life and I hope you know that. : )

  2. Hi Dog for David, I have sent a response to An Autism Dad’s post about KOULE. Also, I sent you a comment about your comment. I really hope you get to see them. KOULE is not an exploitation of anything. As a mum and autism researcher i am just trying to help in some way. Thanks Tamie

    • I honestly apologize if I misunderstood. The way things are worded though does make it come across that way to an extent. I will go back and look at the comments you left. I did get pretty critical in my comment too and for that I apologize as well. As Autism mom’s we are all a team and even when we disagree we should try to remain kind. Please accept my apology for that.

    • Unfortunately, I can’t see your comments on the original blog. But I do encourage you to try and cover the areas of concern (trials that have been run, research used, etc) a little more clearly and to tell your audience what you have shared here about not only being an autism researcher, but also a mom. It might help.

  3. Hi Dog for David, Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it. Both you and An Autism Dad are right about things be worded better. I will work on that today. I wouldn’t want anyone to be mislead. Which brings me to another thing… My son is not autistic, he is typically developing, although of course with challenges. I wouldn’t that to be misunderstood. The reason I got involved in Autism research was because I was a single parent and found it really challenging and so I thought, “if I am struggling, I can’t imagine how hard parents of children with autism find it”. And so I wanted to try to help. But one thing you can be sure of, is that as a mom I am on your team/side. Tamie

    • Sorry for misunderstaning about your son too. I must have read it wrong the first time. You’re right though about still being a team. I appreciate your honesty and your grace/forgiveness for my earlier harshness.

      And yeah, coming from a single mom of two toddlers (one severely affected and one possibly mildly affected) it is a struggle, but my children definitely make it all worth it. : )

  4. Thanks Dog for David, I feel like I have made a new friend, both of us united in helping all children :) . I hope you get a dog for David.

    • Hi! :) Thanks for stopping by. :) I really enjoy your blog. I found it when WordPress suggested it under the humor category. : ) Happy New Year to you too. :) I wish I had found you earlier so I could have passed on one of the peer blog awards I was given because you would have definitely been on my list. : )

    Hello There,
    My name is Melisa and I’m a Professional Blogger. I have more than 3+ yrs of experience writing for the web and have covered plenty of interesting topics.
    I came across your blog and was wondering if you would be interested in allowing me to write relevant & useful topics on your blog at no cost.
    At this point of my writing career, I simply want to get more visibility for my writing and I will write for free as long as you are fine with me adding a small author bio section following the blog post about myself.
    Please let me know if you are interested and if you’d like for me to submit a sample blog post for your approval.
    Thanks a bunch,
    Melisa

    reader. What might you suggest in regards to your submit that you just made a few days in the past?
    Any positive?

  12. Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Kudos|

  13. Hi! I thought I’d send a quick remark considering that I’ve spent the higher part of the past 30 minutes scanning
    through your weblog posts. I am actually liking what you’ve bought occurring right here with your weblog and I do hope you keep writing it. Properly that’s nearly
    all I’ve to say! Many thanks and really nice to nearly meet’ you and your website.

  14. Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly
    enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger
    but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

  15. Hi! Someone in my Facebook group shared this
    website with us so I came to check it out. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers!
    Wonderful blog and superb style and design.

  16. I love this Cindi and you can count on me to be there in Haysville for the art show.

  17. I am really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the
    layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did
    you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a great blog like this one these days.

  18. I have nominated you for “the super sweet bloggers award” :)

  19. I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which
    makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often.
    Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Superb work!
