This morning we had our first basic obedience/rally 1 class! My rental Whill wheelchair was dropped off like 5 minutes before I had to leave, but at least I finally got it! Luckily the Charlotte Dog Training Club moved closer to me, so now they’re only 8 minutes away. So […]
Today was Felix’s first time going to a doctor. He went to the dentist last week, but has never been to a doctor’s office or been with me during an exam. We walked in and he did an excellent job as usual with the automatic doors. Those things are second […]
First, we expect Felix to be fine. Last night, when we let the dogs out before bed, Felix picked something up off the ground and ran away to try to chew on it. It didn’t look like a stick, and I had a bad feeling, so I went to take […]
Today Felix came to the human dentist for the first time! Brad and I had our cleanings scheduled one after the other this afternoon. Brad went first, so Felix and I sat in the waiting room. He did a very good job of chewing on his Himalayan Chew on his […]
This past Friday I flew on American up to Philly for my aunt’s funeral. It was too expensive for Brad to come, too, so I flew alone with my service dog Hestia and my wheelchair. I’m going to tell you about my not-so-great travel experiences, which includes how my wheelchair […]
Last weekend, we had a very memorable and quite dangerous adventure with Sabrina, her service dog Indy, and her husband Russ. We looked up paved wheelchair accessible trails online, and found that at the Sesquicentennial State Park in Columbia, there’s a trail that is a combination of paved and gravel […]
When the reporters at WBTV who did my interview about my hearing aids heard about PSDP, they wanted to do another interview with me, Brad, and Sabrina about psychiatric service dogs and PSDP! So last week, a reporter showed up at our house to interview the three of us. We […]
Today was the last Out on the Town class. We met at Squirrel Lake Park, which is absolutely beautiful! I arrived about 15 minutes early, so I checked out the park a bit before everyone else got there. I remembered how Karin’s Callie Mae heels so wonderfully when Karin drops […]
On Wednesday we had Out on the Town class at the Piper Glen shops in Charlotte. There’s a Trader Joe’s there, so Brad came with me so we could go to Trader Joe’s afterward. It was pretty warm as we headed out the door, so I grabbed Hestia’s cooling coat […]
Today Felix and I went to the NAMI building for coffee and conversation. It was a fairly small group of people, but there were two individuals there that made for some good training challenges. The baby was there as usual, which is so great for Felix! He had never met […]
