On Friday we went on training outing with Scarlet and Skyler with Korra. Alice did quite well! We met up at Wild Birds Unlimited, which is a pet friendly store that sells bird feeders and other bird stuff. When we walked in, the person working there was a little nervous […]
Yesterday we went to Lowe’s to train little Alice. We went with Scarlet and Skyler with Korra (sable Standard Poodle). We started outside the store for a while to let Alice get comfortable, and then moved inside. Alice did a great job walking through the doors all on her own! […]
Brad got the pictures edited from our Service Dogs on the Town class on Tuesday! This is the one described in this entry: http://www.doctorv.xyz/2021/07/09/misdirected-to-mall/ . To make a long story short, we waited for the bus as had been pre-arranged with the bus company. But the bus didn’t stop for […]
Tuesday was our service dogs on the town class! We were supposed to ride the bus together… We all showed up at the bus stop way ahead of time and were waiting about 3 feet from where the sign for the stop was in some grass. We were on the […]
On Monday, some of my service dog friends were nice enough to meet up with me to help ensure Hestia is around some stable dogs after her attack. A couple of people forgot, and a couple of people cancelled, so it was just three of us (plus Brad!) total. But […]

Ollie’s been slowly declining since his cancer diagnosis about six months ago. But we thought at the rate he was going, he might even get to meet our new puppy coming home this summer. Over the weekend, though, Ollie’s health took an abrupt turn for the worse. We consulted with […]
Ollie’s legs don’t have a bunch of good muscle anymore, so he’s been sliding around along on our floors. We were worried he’d hurt himself, and he gets really scared about things like getting off the couch where he might slip. So we bought him non-skid socks! I like them […]
We took Ollie to the vet today and compared to what we were expecting we got good news! For those who don’t know the reference in the title, it’s from Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail. Here’s a link to see the scene it’s from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcbR1J_4ICg . Ollie had […]
Brad and I got some new masks! Brad wanted more to match his outfits and I wanted a galaxy themed one to match Hestia’s galaxy vest. Of course that meant we had to do a photo shoot! I am a woman with long brown wavy hair wearing a white linen […]
