Not the day we expected 2

August 29, 2024  tagged japanese chin by Veronica Morris (updated 364 days ago)

Today was not the day we expected, doubly! The original plan was to go out to brunch with Sabrina and Russ after their doctor appointment. We were just getting ready to leave when they had to cancel. No big deal, we had a backup plan in mind. We spent the […]

All set for breakfast!

August 28, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog by Veronica Morris (updated 364 days ago)

Yesterday morning, Felix and I went to the food bank. It opens at 8:30 AM, so we showed up at 7:30 figuring we’d be among the first in line. But since it was nice weather out, apparently everyone else thought so, too! So we were actually the 26th family in […]

Target videos

August 28, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog by Veronica Morris (updated 365 days ago)

About two weeks ago, I took Felix to Target to practice his auto-leave-it. This is where he looks at an item he wants to sniff, and then looks at me instead of sniffing the item. I do it by using leash tension to stop him from sniffing the item (without […]

The missing agility videos

August 27, 2024 by Veronica Morris (updated 365 days ago)

It turns out some of the videos Russ took in agility class last week worked! So I have two of those below. One is Felix jumping over a few jumps, and the other shows him on a wobble board. A few days later, I tried out a mini-wobble board where […]

Relaxing at the playground

August 24, 2024  tagged japanese chin by Veronica Morris (updated 368 days ago)

When we were in Ohio recently, Felix was a bit scared when my nieces were rambunctious. So we’re going to be doing some training to get him more used to kids that are screaming and running. He’s totally fine with calm kids, and we usually aren’t around rambunctious kids, so […]

Agility initiation

August 22, 2024  tagged agility / japanese chin by Veronica Morris (updated 371 days ago)

Today was our first agility class with our trainer Susan. Before I went to Ohio, we had a private lesson to assess whether he”d be able to join the class. Today was our first time in the regular class. The drive there was stressful, as there was a big accident […]

Glasses: they were both wrong!

August 21, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog by Veronica Morris (updated 372 days ago)

You may remember that I went to a new optometrist that is covered by my insurance to get a prescription for glasses, then ordered them from an online retailer. I had already figured out that the optometrist totally missed prisms in one direction. So today I took Felix and my […]

UGH Medicaid!!!!

August 5, 2024 by Veronica Morris (updated 388 days ago)

Who do you think messed up? A Chinese discount glasses manufacturer or a local optometrist covered by Medicaid? So you may remember I recently went to an eye doctor to get a new prescription, and I ordered glasses online. I love the frames I got, but after several days of […]

A trip to nowhere 2

August 3, 2024  tagged japanese chin / service dog / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 390 days ago)

This afternoon I was supposed to fly to Ohio to see my parents and some other family members. My flight was scheduled to leave at 3:30PM. I left the house at 1, and got to the airport 2 hours early like expected. I had checked in online, but I still […]

Agility tryouts with Indy and Felix

July 28, 2024  tagged golden retriever / japanese chin / wheelchair by Veronica Morris (updated 396 days ago)

Last week when we met up with Sabrina, one of the things we did is have a private lesson with Susan to see if the pups were ready for her agility classes. The first thing we did was talk a little bit about agility, which Sabrina and Indy have never […]
