Since I’ve told Maisie’s story here before, and all over social media as well, I’ll just share a few pictures here today to commemorate the day my life was changed for the better in SO many ways! From a starving Mama dog on a short heavy chain in the sleet with 6 babies when she …

Monday Maisieness – April 25, 2022 Edition
I hadn’t planned to write about Maisie today – well, I had, but didn’t have anything new to write…until tonight. As I’ve moved to the davenport from the bedroom to spend my days I seem to wear a different pair of slippers or crocs or whatever each time. Then, for some reason, I leave them …

Maisie Monday – March 21, 2022 Edition: No, Maisie Isn’t Perfect!
By the way I always talk about Maisie and everything she does, it would seem that she is the perfect service dog and companion. However, she does have her flaws (as do we all)! I think her main problem is due to her breeding. Her background is mostly herding and guardian breeds, with some hunters …

Oh That Maisie!
So my girl is so good about everything, all the time, she never misses a beat…but then today…. One of Maisie’s tasks is to deliver things between Pete and I. She saves us a ton of steps, plus the painful ordeal of getting up from my corner for me… Anyway, we have an internet hotspot, …

Friday Fotos (?) Dec. 3, 2021
OK, I’m not sure if Friday “Fotos” will be a thing or not. But I had a few to share from this week, and today is Friday, so… First are some pics of wildlife you can scroll through. These are taken through my window, as usual, hence the quality takes a bit of a hit. …
