On Friday, Brad and I took Felix on the bus for the first time! We need to get him used to riding public transit so that he will eventually be ready to fly on an airplane. The bus today was his very first time on public transit. He’s been around […]
Today Felix and I did two things! We went to dog training class, and we went to my psych nurse appointment. Class went really really well! He was able to focus for the whole class this time, which I was very happy about. We did a lot of different things […]
