Today in Felix’s obedience/rally course, we both struggled and shined. Felix did a great job doing the things he was supposed to do in class (well, except for mat work where he struggled). But he was pretty teenagery in that every time a person or dog got close to us, […]
Today Brad went with Felix and me to get our van ramp serviced and drop my Kitchen Aid mixer off to get serviced (it won’t turn on). We went to Ilderton Conversions first to get our van ramp serviced. That’s where we got our van from, so they all know […]
On Friday, Brad and I took Felix on the bus for the first time! We need to get him used to riding public transit so that he will eventually be ready to fly on an airplane. The bus today was his very first time on public transit. He’s been around […]
A note from Brad: In today’s story, we’re going to look at the kind of uncomfortable situation where it’s a struggle to be a “good” advocate for your rights because there’s a risk of someone doing you harm with the power they have over you. If you’re ever in a […]
I got my new wheelchair this morning, and already have it all adjusted and tricked out with a custom rainbow dog joystick (replaced by the airline), fairy lights, and light-up fairy wings! Check it out!

On Thursday we had our second session of rally 1 dog training class. Brad was able to go with me, so there are lots of pictures, yay! This class is fast paced, which I like. We go through a lot of different things each session, and review concepts that are […]
Lost of pictures below! On Sunday we went over to Sabrina’s house for an evening of fun! We arrived about 3PM and it was so hot that we stayed inside and played Mexican Train Dominoes (our new favorite game!). Sabrina was really tired, so she went to take a nap […]
This morning I decided to treat myself to one of my favorites– Starbucks! Thanks to some very nice people gifting me gift cards, I can go to Starbucks about once a month! They have super yummy coffee, and it is a great training opportunity for Felix. This morning I woke […]
