Today Hestia and I ventured out alone to go to the podiatrist. I was pretty nervous because I hate going to doctors without Brad. Doctors tend not to believe an overweight woman with mental illness can have anything wrong with her other than being fat and crazy! The staff were […]
I just have to brag about Alice’s training outing yesterday! She was AWESOME!!!! We went to Michael’s with Skyler and Korra, and Scarlet. Before Skyler and Korra even got there, Alice was wanting to go inside the store. She walked confidently through the doors with no coaxing! Normally when we […]
I finally have a cuddle dog again!  Ollie liked to be next to me, and Hestia prefers to be on Brad’s footrest.  But Alice is like Sabrina was—likes to be on top of me! It is wonderful!  It helps me out so much.  I was struggling tonight, and by Alice […]
Today we got our flu shots! Since it was the first day of fall, I wore a fall dress though it was really too hot for that. We went to Publix to get our shots, and left little Alice at home for practice being away from us. Since we had […]
Today we tried out a new vet—Carolina Integrative Veterinary Hospital. They were really good, and reminded me of our vet back in California! Hestia had to get her yearly exam, and Alice needed another round of shots since the last vet’s receptionist told us 3 days before 16 weeks would […]
Today we took both Hestia and Alice to a store together for the first time! We had to pick up our foodshare box, and quickly stop off at the library to renew our cards. Then we headed to Pet Supermarket. Alice has never been in Pet Supermarket before, but with […]
This morning I had to pick up some groceries at Sam’s Club. Before checking in that I was there, I took 20 min to stand outside the store with Alice and do some exposure. She did great! She explored the area in front of the doors without fear. She watched […]
Hestia’s new galaxy harness arrived! It was only $15 on Amazon! It seems like it might slide to the side a little, but I think with a little tighter adjustment on the belly it won’t slide quite so much. It has a beautiful pink, purple, and blue galaxy pattern on […]
Alice has started noticing when I’m crying, and coming over to hop on my chest! This is not something Hestia does. Hestia responds when I say “I’m feeling [insert negative word here]” by running over and jumping on me, or she notices when my mental health is really bad and […]
Today Alice went to daycare and she had many adventures! Her first big adventure was playing with the other dogs! It’s a daycare for small dogs, but Alice is so tiny that even small dogs seem large next to her! She did a GREAT job! Here is a video of […]
