Fun with Girl Scouts after a friend lunch

January 21, 2024  tagged golden retriever / japanese chin / service dog / service dog in training / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 585 days ago)

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 […]

A no-treats outing

January 19, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training by Veronica Morris (updated 588 days ago)

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 […]

Pathway passings in the coffee shop

January 18, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training by Veronica Morris (updated 589 days ago)

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 […]

Defending against a dental dog

January 16, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training by Veronica Morris (updated 590 days ago)

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 […]

Denver—a quick wheels up

January 13, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 593 days ago)

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 […]

Carolina coastal family reunion Part 2

January 12, 2024  tagged disability / japanese chin / service dog in training / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 595 days ago)

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 […]

Carolina coastal family reunion Part 1

January 11, 2024 by Veronica Morris (updated 595 days ago)

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 […]

Frozen food-getting success! 1

January 3, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog in training / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 603 days ago)

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 […]

This afternoon I called my friend Sabrina, and it turns out she was heading up my way to Rock Hill! Her husband and daughter wanted crab legs, and she wanted to stop by the mall while they ate. So Felix and I headed over to meet her at the mall […]

Disney World videos

December 24, 2023  tagged brussels griffon / german shepherd / golden retriever / japanese chin / service dog by Veronica Morris (updated 613 days ago)

Due to the amount of time it takes to edit pictures and videos, the order in which Brad did them, and my excitement in posting quickly, most of the videos we took were not able to be posted along with that day’s blog entry. So this is a post collecting […]
