I would so love to get a certified therapy dog but my new landlords don’t allow pets anymore, I heard you could get a certified animal but I’m afraid it’ll cause tension with my landlords. I just kinda gave up on the idea, which really sucks because I have done so well when I had pets in the past, and I know having a pet would help me and the quality of my life so much now but ya idk. It is what it is, I suppose 😒🤷‍♀️
