My breeder emailed me pictures of the two mama dogs that are a week and a half away from delivery! I am SO excited! Lucy is the one with black on her head. The breeder says that she usually doesn’t show much, and it’s hard for me to tell in […]
When we went on our walk last week, Hestia got overheated. She was panting hard and making some wheezing noises. So I decided it was time for a cooling vest. All the commercially available cooling vests in Hestia’s size are the evaporative cooling vests– basically thick shirts that you soak […]
Today we did our first social thing in a year!!!! We and Scarlet are technically 3 days away from being 2 weeks post-second-shot, but couldn’t wait any more. This morning we picked Scarlet up and headed to the park! We went to Riverwalk, which is a trail along the river. […]
Today to celebrate being one week away from being fully vaccinated against COVID, Brad and I went to the park to take a walk! It was the first time in over a year that Brad has left the house for something other than a medical need. His chair is still […]
Due to popular request, Brad got a video of Hestia doing the Chin spin for her feeding times. For those who don’t know, Japanese Chin are known for the “Chin spin” which involves them spinning in circles rapidly when excited. Hestia usually only does this at mealtimes. I’ve been working […]
Today we had to stop by Publix to get a few items that were out of stock in our last Walmart pickup order. I decided that since Hestia’s been a little rusty recently, that we’d make this a training outing! I got out her favorite treats– Stella and Chewy’s freeze […]
Today we got our second COVID vaccine! Wahoooooo! Brad’s wheelchair is still stuck in the elevated position—theoretically it should be fixed in about two weeks. Luckily he can tilt the headrest and fit it in the van! We also were able to squeeze his old manual wheelchair into the van, […]
Spring has sprung! This morning we went for another long walk at Cherry Park, and the cherry blossoms were out! It was beautiful, with pink flowers on trees and petals blowing in the wind. The temperature was perfect, too! It was about 65 degrees when we were walking– it’ll be […]
It’s been almost two weeks since my first vaccine, and I’m feeling safe enough to go to the local park in the morning to walk! It is SO nice to walk somewhere other than my neighborhood! This morning it was an unseasonably cold first day of spring, but I couldn’t […]
That’s me who’s feisty, not Hestia! I picked up groceries today from a different Walmart, and they were out of only two items! This is a huge improvement from my normal Walmart store. So I had to go to Lidl to get a pork roast and some salsa. I double […]
