Got wife help. We have a friend here who is really helping both of us thru today--yesterday

32. You are indeed getting her the help she needs....

Under ADA law, your wife's need for an service animal usurps the homeowner's association rules as long as it is a reasonable accomodation for all.

You also should start looking into a service cat if needed to be.... if that's what your wife wants.

I know a lot on ADA law - I'm disabled myself, and have used the ADA law to force business to accomodate us reasonably. Recently, I made an appointment to my son's doctor, and asked for reasonable accommodation for me and my wife, but initially the refused. I said that under ADA law, you must acommodate us reasonably, and gave her a number of an agency she could contact to set it up. 30 minutes later, it was set up. No problems. They wanted me to bring my mom to help us, but she isn't a certified interpreter.

My own doctor always gives us reasonable accommodations. So you shouldn't have any trouble trying to get your wife reasonable accommodations. Your wife needs an animal for emotional support, and that's what is reasonable accommodation.

Documentations from the doctors to confirm the need for an animal to help with her depression would light a fire on the HOA's asses to approve animal accommodations under the ADA.
