Thursday “Throwback” Thoughts – July 20, 2023 Edition: Dogs Part 12

MAISIE! As you probably already know, Maisie is my current service dog. And best companion. And entertainment. And cuddle buddy. And I have written so much about her here that I don’t know what to add for this post! Her story is already posted, how I got her, how I trained her, many posts about …

VIDEO: Vlog #2155 – A Day With Maisie

Thursday would typically be the day that I talk about my dogs and experiences with them. However my schedule is totally messed up today, for…reasons… Anyway I spent some quality time with Maisie for a vlog instead – it’s just how it had to be this week…

Monday Maisieness – Jan. 2, 2022: Happy Birthday Maisie!

Of course, the date of her birth is only a guess. She was a rescue, and I told her story HERE. But she was in rough shape when she was rescued, having just had 6 puppies, no food or shelter in our Michigan winter, and having spent her life on a short chain that had …

Chuy.

I talk about Maisie a lot because she’s my dog. But Chuy was once my dog too… We have always had multiple dogs. Before Chuy, we had 2 dogs (2 laps, 2 dogs, it worked for us!) When one died, I didn’t want another dog. But as the months passed I started thinking about it. …
