Brain doctors

April 16, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 499 days ago)

Today I had two doctor’s appointments, with different types of brain doctors! First I saw my psych nurse. Since I injured my foot, I took my wheelchair to both appointments. Felix did a great job heeling into the office. For the first time ever, they took my vitals. Felix did […]

Wendy’s and TJ Maxx

April 10, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 506 days ago)

Today Felix and I went on a short training outing. First we stopped by Wendy’s, since Felix has never been inside Wendy’s before and I had a coupon for a $1 hamburger. He did a good job heeling across the parking lot and making it through the double doors. The […]

A dry time at the food bank

April 9, 2024  tagged japanese chin by Veronica Morris (updated 506 days ago)

Felix and I went to the food bank again this morning. It was forecast to rain all morning, so we were prepared! I had Felix in his blue cloud raincoat, and I had a purple poncho on over me and my wheelchair. I got there an hour before they let […]

Bloodshot and bug-eyed

April 8, 2024  tagged japanese chin by Veronica Morris (updated 507 days ago)

Hestia’s been developing another staph infection over the past couple of weeks. She gets them every few months as a result of allergies. We’d been treating it at home and thinking of taking her back into the vet soon. Last night we noticed her eyes were red. This morning, not […]

Practice PAT

April 5, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 511 days ago)

After our outing to Everbowl on Tuesday, Brad and I headed to TJ Maxx to do a practice public access test for Felix. He will be taking his PAT in April, so I thought it’d be good to run through it. We didn’t videotape everything on the test, though, like […]

Training response work

March 28, 2024 by Veronica Morris (updated 518 days ago)

When I start to feel like a bad person or get really anxious, one of my “tells” is that I say phrases like “I feel bad” or “I’m bad” in a certain tone of voice. I don’t even realize I’m saying them, they just come out on their own. I’ve […]
