Expert witnessing case 5

by

The case I was expert witnessing for is over and a matter of public record so I can tell people about it now (the lawyer okayed it)!  Yay! It was a hospital access case.  The plaintiff had been denied access to an inpatient program because he had a service dog. […]

Expert Witness in the Big Apple 9

by

We are on the train home from New York City!  We’ve been here for a little over a week.  I was asked to be an expert witness in a court case, and so that is what brought us to NYC.  Half of our trip was expert witnessing, and half was […]

Hestia’s first drive-by pet 3

by

Hestia being so small, most people aren’t the right height to drive-by pet her.  Today a little kid drive-by petted her!  Hestia was startled, gave the girl stink-eye, and never broke her heel!

Quick DC trip 3

Brad and I were invited to a service animal meeting in Washington DC recently.  We had a lot of things scheduled around the time, so we only had time for one day up, one day there, and one day back. We took the train there and back because flying is […]

Hestia the pouncer 1

by

We leave soon for a short DC trip, and I have been getting more and more nervous about our trip as it gets closer.  I have had lots of anxiety today, and Hestia’s been great.  When she senses I’m getting anxious, she runs over and pounces on my chest.  It […]

Hestia, a small black and white dog, looks at the camera from atop Veronica's chest. Veronica, a 30 something with purple and orange classes is mostly obscured by a Hestia body and head!
A wide angle shot of everyone at Bagel Boat today! In addition to Tom, Dan and Betsey, there is Marija (a 40-something woman with black curly hair), Meike (60-something with blond and grey hair, her husband Bill (60-something with mostly no hair), and Tony (30-something clean shaven on face and head).

Today was bagel day!  Every Saturday a bunch of NAMI friends meet at Bagel Boat and have food and coffee and we talk about everything.  We call it bagel day.  Today was extra special because a friend of mine (Betsey) had quadruple heart bypass surgery a couple weeks ago.  This […]

Papillons et Chin 3

by

In French, butterfly is papillon.  In English, papillon is a breed of dog– so named because of their butterfly looking ears.  So my halter-top dress is my papillon dress, because on its radiant blue background there are darker butterflies, with a border of black tulle around the bottom.  Lots of […]

Another fun pose with Veronica having one leg bent and her hands in front of her. Hestia is looking at the camera.
Veronica posing and showing off her new black fanny pack with Hestia off to the side. Veronica is doing a post where she bends her knees and puts one arm in the air.
