Yes it is late to be posting. However it was a busy day… I’d said I was going to post about Maisie today, and so I will. But first… Today we had helpers. For many months (or longer) I have known that we were going to need helpers at some point. Not with physical care, …

The Day’s Events – Aug. 1, 2022
Just as, sometime in late 2017 I realized I needed a dog to train to help me in my day-to-day life, some months ago I realized that I – we, actually – need someone(s) to help manage things with us. Casey and Bill, and the kids, have always been more than willing to help. But …

VIDEO – Vlog #2107 July 25, 2022 – This Is My BIG Event!
As I have hinted at in my updates recently, something BIG was coming up in my life. And today it came! This is the 2nd time I have gotten something this magnificent, this spectacular, for myself. And probably the last. I made a vlog of the day which is very long (nearly half an hour) …

A Maisie Memo – July 8, 2022
After we got home from our errands today I needed to take multiple pain meds – something I rarely do – and of course I fell asleep where I sat. After Pete takes Chuy to Junior (Chuy is “his” little dog, Junior is our travel trailer acrosss the driveway which he uses as his ham …

VIDEO: Conversation With Maisie
Just a little chat we had this morning…
A Quick Maisie Memo
I always have Maisie on a long line outside – unless we’re playing ball – even though we’re in a very remote area, and even though the one time she got out while we were gone for most of the day she never left the yard (though Chuy sure did!) – but still she tries …

Monday Maisieness – July 4, 2022 Edition
NOTE: You can find more posts about Maisie HERE! Thought it was time for a catch-up on Maisie, and I have a bunch of pictures of her I’ve taken lately I want to share, so… First, she’s feeling better, absolutely no coughing for well over a week. Just 5 more doses of her meds (twice/day) …

Thursday Thoughts – June 30, 2022 Edition: Night Fight
So last night was a night from hell. Almost literally. I have briefly mentioned in my updates things have been a little rough here for a few weeks. (Don’t worry, I’m not going to go into all of that here!) And yesterday was a really really rough day, as I mentioned on last night’s update. …

Maisie’s Vet Visit – June 21, 2022
(You can see what’s been going on with my service dog Maisie up to this point HERE.) I was so happy to get her to her regular vet today! But was shocked that she’s gained 10# over the winter – YIKES!!! Going to be attacking that problem! This is the sheet where the vet notes …

Monday Maisieness – June 20, 2022 Edition
I’ve been posting small updates on Maisie and her kennel cough here for a week, since she first started showing the telltale signs. But since things are changing it is time for a longer update. First, yes, Maisie is going to the vet. I’ve been on the phone with them last week and today. I’m …
