Today Alice got two new outfits in the mail! One is her new service dog harness and the other is a dress from the Amazon review program. I’ve been wanting to get Alice a service dog harness that actually fits her for a while now. She’s been wearing one that […]
Today I had my long-awaited rheumatologist appointment. I wanted to take Hestia, and the appointment was over an hour away and supposed to take 2-2.5 hours. So Alice got to stay with Aunt Nancy and Cousin Tamara! They picked her up before we left, and she seemed happy enough to […]
Today I had to see my GP. I decided to take Alice since Hestia will be going with me to the rheumatologist on Thursday. Alice did very well! It was really hot out, so she was panting a lot at first from the hot car (even with the AC full […]
Today I had my initial appointment with the sleep doctor. Since I snore a lot, my GP wanted me to have a sleep study done. The sleep doctor works in the cardiology office we’ve been going to with Brad. Since it’s a familiar place that I know Alice is OK […]
Today we had Alice’s ultrasound. The good news is that she does not have a liver shunt! But there is bad news, too. First the vet told me that Alice has chronic pancreatitis. She thinks she may know the cause, though. When they were doing the ultrasound they found that […]
Today we went to Brad’s follow up appointment with the cardiologist. Last time we talked with him, he said he thought Brad had POTS which basically means that when Brad stands up, his heart rate goes up. But he wanted to do an echocardiogram and heart monitor just to be […]
Today was Alice’s first time at the human dentist. I was unsure if I should take her, because I didn’t know if it’d be too much for her. But Brad was going with me, and his appointment was before mine. So if she was uncomfortable in the waiting room, I […]
On Saturday we went out to eat with a few of our service dog friends. It is likely the last time we will see Korra as she starts a life with a new handler when Skyler graduates. Lots of pictures at the end of the entry! We had planned to […]
Yesterday we met up with Skyler and Korra (Brad stayed home). First I had to drop my computer off at the repair place. Skyler and Korra met us there, and the pups were so good at meeting up for the first time in a long while inside a store and […]
This morning I had to have my 3D mammogram because my 2D mammogram showed an abnormal bit of tissue. This time it was much easier because I got there about 10 minutes earlier so the place was empty. I was the second person called back to do the check-in, so […]
