Today I had to get the oil changed in our van. I brought Felix with me, and my wheelchair. I started off inside, where I put Felix on his mat next to my wheelchair. He did a tolerable job staying in a down while I scrolled on my phone. He […]
This morning my friend and dog trainer Susan took me to Food Lion to get some groceries. I brought Felix with me, of course, and I used my wheelchair as walking around grocery stores often makes my hips hurt. I had Felix on my lap because it’s very difficult for […]
Today Brad and I met up with Sabrina and Russ for lunch and then to talk with some Girl Scouts! We went to McAlister’s for lunch, and they didn’t have any parking spaces with the wide access aisles available, so Brad and I spent like 5 minutes trying to double […]
Today I had an appointment with my psych nurse. Since this environment is usually pretty easy, I decided I’d try it without treats to see how Felix did. Overall I’m pleased with how he did, given the distractions he encountered. I did have treats in my purse in case I […]
I decided instead of taking a dog training class this session, I would focus on Felix’s restaurant behavior. So the money I would have spent on dog class, I will spend that or less on weekly restaurant outings. And today Starbucks had a special where you get a grande specialty […]
This morning we got our teeth cleaned. Our dentist had retired after our last visit (not our fault, as far as I know!), and a new dentist bought his practice. It was our first time seeing him, so we didn’t know what to expect. I was nervous about having an […]
Earlier this week I took a 24-hour trip to Denver, Colorado. Someone in Denver had a wheelchair that only had one year of use that suited all of Brad’s needs, and she was willing to donate it to us! Our friend Jude arranged the whole thing for us. These types […]
When we last left you, we were at our hotel, while the rest of the family was riding horses or taking a nap. Probably not at the same time. When they got done riding horses, they decided to get ice cream at a wheelchair-inaccessible place attached to the horse barn […]
After Christmas, my extended family met up at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Hilton Head is on the coast, just North of Savannah, GA. With 18 people across 6 families, it took a long time to edit pictures and then get picture-specific permissions from everyone to post them, so […]
This morning I went to the food bank. It was only 26 degrees out when I arrived, so I knew I had to bundle up both myself and Felix. The food bank requires that you wait outside. They open at 8:30AM, but they only serve 30 families a day and […]
