This morning I had to run to Publix, shop, and get back all within one hour! Luckily I didn’t have to get many things—mostly bananas and a few things that were on sale. Hestia was PERFECT while we were there! She heeled the entire time, didn’t sniff, and was generally […]
Today Alice went to my Service Dogs on the Town class (blog entry in a few days when Brad gets pictures processed), and was too trained out to attend Control Unleashed class. I still wanted to go, so I took Hestia instead. She was absolutely THRILLED when she realized where […]
This morning Hestia and I picked Scarlet up and we all went to the food pantry. Since the pandemic food stamps assistance ended, our food stamps have been nearly cut in half. So we need to seek other sources of food, especially as prices are rising drastically. We arrived 15 […]
(Pictures and video below.) We had such a good time in class tonight! Alice was in heat, so she was wearing purple panties with her purple service dog in training harness. Alice does have other non-working harnesses, but she has outgrown two of them and is not super comfortable in […]
Pictures below! On Thursday we started a new class called “Control Unleashed”. This class will help Alice learn to relax more and communicate better with me. Our friend Skyler with Korra is in the class with us! For the first part of class, we left our dogs in our cars […]
I’m always telling people to train, not shop, when you’re dealing with a service dog in training puppy. You can never focus on both things, and usually something gets messed up. Well today, I re-discovered that is the case! I was supposed to meet someone for a Manners Evaluation today. […]
On Tuesday we met up with my friend Sabrina, her SDIT (service dog in training) Indy, and her husband Russ! Alice had never met them before, so I was excited to see how she’d do working so closely around an unfamiliar dog. A quick summary is that she did fantastic, […]
On Monday we went to have our van’s oil changed. I brought a camp chair and we sat outside to stay safe. It was absolutely perfect weather to be sitting outside! It was sunny and a little warm, with the perfect amount of breeze and beautiful blue skies. I sat […]
Brad shot an excellent video of me discussing my history of differently sized service dogs! It is captioned on youtube. He also took several pictures of me while we were filming, and I LOVE them! They are really good pictures of me in a green top sitting on a grey […]
Today we met a friend for lunch at Panera, and I tried taking both dogs. It wasn’t an unmitigated disaster, but it also didn’t really work out that well! I had planned to hold Alice and work Hestia while we placed our order. We were planning to sit outside, so […]
