Ms. Cueter is a wonderful person, caring amphibian rescuer and a valued, excellent resource…read more She took in an unwell Pacific tree frog, and then came personally to pick up a box turtle that we found wandering in our neighborhood. She cleaned him up and pampered him, and then sent us photos of him relaxing in his new place. We were very moved at all the signs of her deep affection and respect for these creatures. Her knowledge and dedication are truly amazing. As for the person complaining in one of the other reviews that her "service dogs" weren't allowed in the amphibian rescue center, this is completely understandable Her account of what happened indicates that she is an unreasonable, selfish and unstable person. Of course Ms. Cueter can have whatever pets of her own in the center that she wants -- she knows them and knows they will not harm any of the animals or do damage. I also would not strange dogs -- even "service dogs" -- in such a place, full of delicate amphibians. The person who was informed that her dogs were not welcome and then stayed there long enough for Ms. Cueter to have to show her to the door physically deserved what she had coming. She is selfish to complain, and even more selfish to have brought about the situation in the first place. Calling the police was outrageous and a waste of tax-payers' money. Show some respect to the person in charge of the amphibian rescue and stop thinking of yourself and what you might "want" at any given moment. You should be apologizing to Ms. Cueter, who was forced to take you by the arm, not writing a "one-star review" to punish her. Your behavior is unbelievable. You should be ashamed. The world does not revolve around you and your "service dogs".

I walked into this shop Saturday and dogs started barking at Bella who was wearing her Service…read moreDog cape. An attending woman told me dogs weren't allowed in the shop (even though she had 2 pugs on site). I told her mine was a Service Dog and she said even Service Dogs were not allowed and I said that was a problem as this had a lit gift shop sign and it was open to the public and she should call the police. She said she didn't have to- the police knew that Service Dogs aren't allowed in her shop and she grabbed me by my upper right arm, in a tight pinch, and pushed me out the door. I had the two boys with me. I stood dumb founded on the other side of the door that she slammed shut. I stared at the door trying to make sense of what happened. I tried to see if there was a sign about Service Dogs. None. I went blank. Then I started crying. My arm hurt. I felt humiliated. The boys were freaked out. They wanted to go home fast. I started walking back to the van and got so far then started getting light headed. I picked Bella up to calm down. I made it to the car and used Bella to do her job. I have panic attacks that sometime lead into full blown seizures. My Service Dog alrts me to an impending attack and I use her to calm me down and I may end up calming down enough to pull out of going into the seizure. Eventually I started the van for home and then realized- that woman laid her hands on me- why, because I am disabled and use a Service Dog and dared walk in her store. I told the boys we're going back and I'm calling the police and I'm going to file a charge against her. She shouldn't be able to do that to somebody. If she felt she had the right to boost me out of her shop she should have called the police on ME like I asked her to. I turned around and went back to the shop. The 911 operator kept me on the line because she could hear how upset I was. When the police arrived he took my statement and asked if I had marks. I knew I was sore where she grabbed me but I hadn't looked yet. I was quite red and swollen and he took pictures. This morning there was a bruise. The officer went back to the shop but the attending woman had left. He said he would go back today (Sunday 2/12 Gracie's birthday). He said there was a sign on the door that said 'Exotic pets are welcome'. Obviously my Service Dogs were not 'exotic' enough but her pugs were. I pressed a charge of assault through Edmonds and Monday, 2/13/2012 I will call and file a complaint with the ADA using the Department of Justice. The woman looks exactly like the picture of the woman shown as the owner on: http://edmonds.patch.com/articles/thayer-cueter-friend-to-the-frogs-and-toads-too#comments_list
