My mom had her service dog with her, Zena is a small Yorkie, and mom had her in her arms when they walked in. The owner of the shop saw Zena and rudely told my mom that she said," That dog can't be in the store you need to leave" My mom mom's friend informed the owner that she is a service dog. Then the lady yelled "mama what service does she do?" My mom light hardily said she keeps me from going crazy to calm the owner down. Then the owner yelled again" Mama I don't care what your problem is I what to know what she does as a service". My mom tried to explain to her that she was a PTSD and anxiety service dog and the owner yelled yet again" Mama I don't care what your problem is I want to know what she does" My mom offered to go get her ID card showing that she was a trained service dog, and the owner told my mom no she took classes and knew her rights, My mom went out to the car and retrieved Zena's ID card to show her that she was a trained service dog, the owner yelled at her yet again that she didn't care that my mom could come into the store, but that dog couldn't. My mom then left the store and went back to the car where she had a sever anxiety attack from the shop owner yelling at her in front of other customers and not letting my mom show her that Zena had a right to be with her. My mom's friend finished her shopping and the owner told her that "your friend needs to go back to who trained her dog and her Dr because psychiatric dogs are not REAL service dogs" Zena is a well-trained service dog; she does not bark or show any aggression towards anyone and is small and easy to carry around when need be. She has even recognized when a special needs young lady was having difficulty in another shop my mom frequents and got my mom's attention so that she went over and talked with the young lady. While talking with her and explain what Zena dose the young lady told my mom I take medicine for my anxiety. Mom allowed Zena to snuggle with the young lady to calm her down. When she was done the young lady old my mom thank you I will be better now. Zena was also wearing her vest, had a leash that stated she is a service dog and her ID tag.

I've been to a similar store in Austin and Houston, they ALL have some really neat goodies. I got some art from one of the knitting and crocheting teachers, she did have some of her own hand dyed, but I got art and stickers instead. I found the book room, got one I've looked at for at least 10 years-knitting coffee table size and $$$. $5 was kinda perfect I also got a crochet book. I got some yarn and made out like a bandit with knitting needles for $2 a pair. There was another section close to the register that had packages with several tapestry needles for $1 a package. There were multiple bathrooms (all looked accessible). There was also accessible parking. I was by myself on forearm crutches, the accessibility means so much. Last but far from least, the people. I have the knitting teacher's name at home, but she was GREAT. Also gave me suggestions on yarn stores in Denver. Another awesome lady helped me find a place for my crutches, I was using a basket and they were in the way. When I had questions on some yarn the cashier in rainbow and a huge smile and kind personality got me the yarn specialist....then she helped me carry my hoodies to my car.
