Today our Walmart pickup order was out of stock for snow peas, bok choy, broccoli shreds, and almond milk. The broccoli shreds I could do without (those just go on my hummus toast for lunch). But we can’t do without almond milk (my breakfast smoothies and Brad’s cereal). And […]
Last week when I got my blood drawn, apparently there was someone working there who was contagious with COVID. They sent me a letter yesterday informing me. After I freaked out a lot, Brad and I decided to get tested. Luckily there were appointments available today at an urgent care […]
Today we had to go out to drop off Amazon returns and get gas. Brad was very nice and drove! Unfortunately Amazon made us drop off some of our returns at Kohl’s, and others at the UPS store! We didn’t have a choice in this unless we wanted to pay […]
We had a not so great visit to the lab to get my blood drawn this morning. I walked up to the window and the woman said “No puppies in here”. I replied, “She’s a service dog” The woman said, “Is she fully registered?” I said, “There’s no such thing” […]
We finally finished editing and captioning the second video we shot on Christmas Eve! This video is about how to prepare for normal interactions with the general public. So it’s not about those really stressful unusual interactions, but the kinds of questions we deal with on a daily basis and […]
This morning we had to drop off my specimen collection jug to the lab for cortisol testing. It was COLD out, so I had Hestia’s turquoise coat on underneath her purple galaxy vest. She was absolutely perfect yet again! We walked in and I had to use a check in […]
Today we actually went somewhere! This morning I had to go pick up a collection jug for my 24 hour cortisol test. It was the first time I’ve worked Hestia in probably a month and a half to two months. She was great! We walked in and she stayed in […]
On Christmas Eve, Brad practiced his interviewing skills and equipment and we made a video about my blog! It covers why I started the blog, how I feel about it, and advice for people interested in learning more about service dogs. I put it on my “About” page, but I’ll […]
I decided to collect my favorite service dog (and one superhero) videos of Hestia, Ollie, and Sabrina for your viewing pleasure! I have 5 videos of Hestia, and 4 each of Ollie and Sabrina. They’re roughly in order of newest to oldest. I’ll describe each video before the embedded video. […]
This morning I picked up Ollie’s meds, dropped off recycling, and dropped off Goodwill donations. The recycling went very very bad, but the other two were OK. First we went to Publix drive-through to get Ollie’s meds. It was a little bit flustered because they had the closed sign there, […]
