Professional Paintings by Barbara Blee Carlyle and some of her collections from others. Click the navigation bar on the left. Go to her website to see her paintings. Barbara Blee Carlyle painted for more years than she cared to recall, in many far off places as well as her adopted home of Texas. A native Californian, Barbara was born and raised in San Diego where she met her husband of 40+ years, James Carlyle. Barbara passed away in the spring of 2008 and is greatly missed by her family. |

About Service Dogs
Hearing and service dogs assist Texans living with hearing or mobility challenges.
Hearing Dogs alert their deaf partners by touch and lead them to a variety of important everyday sounds, including a knock at the door, a smoke alarm, an alarm clock and a baby's cry. They respond to oral and sign language commands
Service Dogs assist physically challenged individuals by opening doors and refrigerators, fetching out of reach wheelchairs, retrieving dropped items, turning lights on and off, getting help and moving paralyzed limbs. They also perform customized tasks such as assistance with clothing and specialized equipment.
Seeing, hearing and service dogs also provide emotional and social benefits through companionship and encouragement of greater interaction from others.
Types of Service Dogs
There are several different kinds of service dogs, including guide dogs, hearing dogs, mobility dogs, seizure alert/response dogs, psychiatric service dogs, and autism dogs. There are also other types of dogs with jobs that help people, including therapy dogs and emotional support animals.
