Today we had Alice’s ultrasound. The good news is that she does not have a liver shunt! But there is bad news, too. First the vet told me that Alice has chronic pancreatitis. She thinks she may know the cause, though. When they were doing the ultrasound they found that […]
Today we went to Brad’s follow up appointment with the cardiologist. Last time we talked with him, he said he thought Brad had POTS which basically means that when Brad stands up, his heart rate goes up. But he wanted to do an echocardiogram and heart monitor just to be […]
Today was Alice’s first time at the human dentist. I was unsure if I should take her, because I didn’t know if it’d be too much for her. But Brad was going with me, and his appointment was before mine. So if she was uncomfortable in the waiting room, I […]
On Saturday we went out to eat with a few of our service dog friends. It is likely the last time we will see Korra as she starts a life with a new handler when Skyler graduates. Lots of pictures at the end of the entry! We had planned to […]
Yesterday we met up with Skyler and Korra (Brad stayed home). First I had to drop my computer off at the repair place. Skyler and Korra met us there, and the pups were so good at meeting up for the first time in a long while inside a store and […]
This morning I had to have my 3D mammogram because my 2D mammogram showed an abnormal bit of tissue. This time it was much easier because I got there about 10 minutes earlier so the place was empty. I was the second person called back to do the check-in, so […]
About three days before we left, Alice stopped wanting to eat her regular dog food. She was still eating peanut butter and cheese and treats in good quantities, though. I called to make a vet appointment and we had to wait until we were back anyway to see the vet. […]
On Wednesday we flew back home to South Carolina. We scheduled our taxi to pick us up at 10:15, but he was 20 minutes late! Luckily we had budgeted an hour to get to the airport. It took us only 30 minutes to get to the airport exit from our […]
Monday was the optional “tourism day” for the PSDP convention. We planned to go to Shoreline Village, which is a little group of quaint shops and restaurants on the marina. Most people were unable to make it, so it was just me with Hestia and Alice, Brad, Deanna with Jaxson, […]
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we had our annual Psychiatric Service Dog Partners convention. Monday was a tourism day as part of the convention, but I’ll write a blog entry about it separately. On Friday we started off the day with a surprise puppy shower for Allison! We totally got her, […]
