Today I took Alice to Michaels. When we went there last week it was at night time, and she’d never been out at night before. She was horrible! She would hardly walk even with bribing and stopped dead and refused to move past a display of scented candles. We ended […]
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 […]

Today we had my second physical therapy session. I tried driving there myself, but my foot got a little sore along the way so I was happy Brad came with me to drive me home. Brad stayed in the van with Alice, and I went in with Hestia. She was […]
Today was the second day in 6 weeks that I was able to walk Alice!!! I walked her 4 houses down the street and back. Brad videotaped me to watch Alice’s inertia problem, but the problem seems to mostly be gone already! There’s just a little at the middle and […]
On Monday night, Alice graduated from puppy class! It was the first class where we really got to work on walking, so I took advantage of that to talk with the trainers about Alice’s inertia problem. Alice tends to stop randomly while we are walking and refuse to move forward. […]
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 […]
