Garden go-back: wrapping up

September 22, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 339 days ago)

Sorry for the delay in getting out my last blog entry about our visit to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden! After the fountain that you can walk through, we visited other nice areas of the gardens with winding streams, small fountains, and pretty flowers. Brad used his kaleidoscope lens filter […]

Agility: tunnels and teeters and jumps, oh my!

September 20, 2024  tagged japanese chin / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 341 days ago)

Last night I had agility class. There was only one other student there, so we had a lot of time to work on things. We started out on the tiny teeter that Susan has been lending me. Felix did a pretty good job on it! The next time he was […]

Garden go-back, my favorite fountain

September 16, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 345 days ago)

This blog entry will be all about my favorite fountain at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. It is a walk-through fountain, with jets of water on either side of a pathway, arching up and over the pathway. When you walk underneath it, you get wet—like a very heavy rain. I had […]

September 14, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 347 days ago)

Last weekend we went back to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. Since we’ve been there recently, we decided to distinguish this trip by making our photos have a lot of interesting optics. Brad and I both wore sequins, and he used a lot of unusual optics to create moods and […]

September 13, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 349 days ago)

Today Wendy’s was having a deal for a Frosty and fries all for just $1! So of course I had to go and get some! I didn’t want to eat there, but I did want to show y’all the extremely difficult double door situation, so I picked up my order […]

Agility, learning the ropes/jumps

September 13, 2024  tagged agility / japanese chin / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 348 days ago)

Last night we had agility class. There was just one other person there, and she had two Whippets with her. One was quite old, so didn’t do too many activities. We started out class by doing circle jumps (I think that’s what they were called!) where jumps were set up […]

Brad’s yearly specialist appt., with new doctor

September 11, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog by Veronica Morris (updated 351 days ago)

Today we had Brad’s yearly in-person appointment with his ME/CFS specialist. This specialist is not covered by insurance, so we don’t see them very often. We have one phone call and one in-person appointment per year, and try not to go any more than that if we can help it […]

Walmart trip take two

September 10, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog by Veronica Morris (updated 352 days ago)

A week ago, Felix and I went to Walmart to work more on our auto-leave-it training. We had a mostly excellent time in the store. I had gotten advice to reward Felix for all body language relating to ignoring things on the floor, and not just waiting for him to […]

The best agility class yet!

September 6, 2024 by Veronica Morris (updated 355 days ago)

Videos below! Last night I had the best agility class I’ve ever been in. I’ve not taken a ton of agility, but done it on and off for the last 20 years. Each of my dogs (except Alice) had taken at least one agility class, and with my first dog, […]

Walmart and Moe’s videos

September 1, 2024 by Veronica Morris (updated 360 days ago)

Last Monday I took Felix on an outing to Walmart and to Moe’s. I wanted to try setting up my camera a different way. This time I attached the gooseneck thing to one of my rear stabilizers on my wheelchair. This allowed me to get much more of Felix’s body […]
