Today I took Alice to Pet Supplies Plus to pick up an order of her dog food that was 30% off for black Friday. She did a great job outside the store and walking inside! I was very proud of her, she didn’t hesitate one bit to walk through the […]
Today I had physical therapy, and during the stretching part of it, my PT and I were talking about Alice. The other PT who sometimes works with me was listening in, and both were saying how much they wanted to meet her. Well, Alice was out in the van with […]
On Friday we went on training outing with Scarlet and Skyler with Korra. Alice did quite well! We met up at Wild Birds Unlimited, which is a pet friendly store that sells bird feeders and other bird stuff. When we walked in, the person working there was a little nervous […]
Today before our outing, I took a chair out into the yard and hung out with the dogs. It was a cool but sunny fall day– just gorgeous! Hestia and Alice (dressed in PJs due to the chill) really enjoyed spending a lot of time out there playing! I took […]

Yesterday I had my first session of physical therapy for my foot. I have been using the wheelchair most of the time around the house, so I used that to get into the building as well. Since I have a very hard time pushing myself outside on uneven surfaces, Brad […]
On Monday we had puppy class! This class we met on the top level of the parking deck instead of in the pavilion. We spent a large part of class talking about what our puppies had been doing in the past week, and on the importance and theory of recalls. […]
