On Thursday we had our second Rally II class at the Charlotte Dog Training Club. Due to rain canceling our weekend plans, Brad was able to come with me and take a bunch of pictures! It was a good class. Before class started, the trainer took her Papillon out to […]
On Saturday we had two, yes TWO NAMI walks! In the morning we had one in Rock Hill, and in the afternoon it was in Lancaster. I volunteered at the Rock Hill walk, which meant I needed to get there an hour early. So that Brad didn’t have to wake […]
When I saw the crocheted wheelchair cover on instagram a few months ago, I was dismayed by how much it cost—even though it was more than fair for all the labor. I talked about it with Brad’s Aunt Nancy, who suggested that I ask friends to help me crochet enough […]
Yesterday was a busy day. We had our first session of Intro to Rally II, which I am very excited about! I use my wheelchair during class because I can’t stand as much as I’d need to in order to participate in class. So I rolled in and a dog […]
Today I took Hestia with me to the gynecologist’s office, and I was discriminated against. I walked in and checked in no problem. I went to sit down, and a few minutes later they called me up to the front desk. The receptionist told me that they love dogs, but […]
Yesterday we had to take Hestia to the vet AGAIN… The now two months of needing to go to the vet all the time and having everything around the house break continues. Hestia has some allergies that normally cause her to get about one staph infection on her tummy per […]
Today we went to Walgreens to get our flu and COVID vaccines. I decided not to take my wheelchair as my arms are usually sore after getting vaccinated and I didn’t want to be lifting my wheelchair into the van with sore arms. They usually have free chairs to sit […]
On Saturday, Brad and I took Felix and went to the Lindsay Pettus Greenway in Lancaster. That’s where one of the NAMI walks will be next month, and Brad is taking pictures at the walk and wanted to check out the angles of the sun and the trail there. Last […]
On Friday we took Felix to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) so that he’d have an experience walking around the airport, smelling the smells, seeing people with luggage, and so on. Brad also took this opportunity to experiment with a number of photographic techniques including making an airplane out […]
On Wednesday, Brad and I did another photo shoot! The first backdrop we used was an astrologer’s castle. I wore a galaxy dress, a black shawl, and a purple witch hat. Brad was dressed like a German villager. So I was the astrologer-witch, and he was the townspeople. We have […]
