Cor Takes on Wisconsin: Week One

Hey y’all! Just me this week. 🙂 Cor’s had a long week this week. Monday–group training and ears plucked. Tuesday–full groom (thanks for the help, Marleigh!) Wednesday–vet and shots Thursday–20+ hours in a car. We ran him a little every time we had a rest stop.  He had about an hour and a half when […]

Cross-Country Traveling Breakdown

10.00 PM–finish loading the car, go to bed. 12.15 AM–wake up with both hands asleep and fumble to turn off alarm.  1.30 AM–Final last minute things (including two large coolers of raw meat) 1.44 AM–pull out of the driveway 1.45 AM–call family to see if we left something on the table. 1.45 AM–We did not.

Laur and Cor’s Big Adventure

Okay Hooman. You had said last time that we may be MOVING? WHY? I like it here! Well, Cor, first of all, we aren’t moving permanently. Just for a little while. WHERE? Wisconsin. Never heard of it, Hooman. I like it here. So do I, and don’t worry–we’ll come back in a few weeks. Wisconsin […]

Growth

Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a great day. I’ve been looking through my pictures and videos recently, trying to clean up space on my phone. I think Mom has been doing the same, because we’ve both found pictures from back in March when I got Cor, my li’l pandemic puppy, and oh. My. gosh. […]

Life Lessons: Because He’s Mine

“It [what Cor did] wasn’t much, but he’s just mine and I love him.” When I said that this week, it kind of hit me across the face. I can’t tell you how long I’ve had trouble coming to grips with the Father part of God’s description. Put whatever adjective in front of it you […]

Picture Time, Hoomans!

Hello Friendos! Hooman wasn’t feeling well tonight–we didn’t even go for a ride!–so I told her I’d cover the post for you guys. Except I’m not exactly sure how she thinks of what to say… What did we do that was fun this week…? Oh! I got to ride on a boat for training socialization! […]

Service Dogs–For Better or Worse

I got to practice my servicing this week, friendos! Right, Hooman? Well, it wasn’t exactly what your training is focusing on, but– But I was being helpful, right? Like last Monday when you had the… uh… what is it called again? Migraine. Yes! That. I snuggled you all better, didn’t I? When you were on […]

I was Wrong…

Hey all!  So, I am happy to report Cor proved me wrong.  I did? Yes. You did. Remember last week when– No. Erm, right. Well, last week in the post Worlds Collide, I shared my concern about going into lesson five. Because you can sometimes be a slow learner? Um, no. Because it was the […]

Worlds Collide

Guess WHAT, Hoomans! You know the doggy my Stupid smells like? (For those who don’t remember, Cor calls his Perfect Pace head harness the Stupid.) Well, maybe you don’t, because Hoomans don’t have such good sniffers.  Well, my Stupid and crate and a few other things smell like this mysterious doggo.  Well. This week, I […]

Seizure Alert… Maybe

As I’m sure many of you know, I am training Cor to be a seizure response dog. As I explained in My, What a Lot of Types [of Service Dogs] There Are! that’s different from a seizure alert dog (which, in the previous post, falls under the MAD category). A seizure response dog responds to […]
