Hello All! I can’t tell you the difference I have seen between Cor, Yaha, Ozzy, and Daisy. For those that don’t know, Daisy was my dog before I started on this service dog journey. Let me preface this by saying I love all of them. They have brought such memories into my life as I […]
5.45: *groggily slaps at alarm* 6.00: Clothes set out last night. Brush teeth. Bible time as I feed, water, and potty a neighbor’s dogs. 7.11: Toys, check. Treats, check. Water, check. Collapsible bowl, check. Debit card–just in case–check. 4 Thank-you gift bags, check. Coats, check. Van gone through for extra floor-fillers Cor shouldn’t chew, check! […]
The by-hour countdown has started here at the Walton home. In celebration, I thought I’d share the last few pictures we’ve gotten from Mses. Kerry, Tanya, and April! You were not born to fail! Lauryn P.S. 10 hours!
Now that you know the details of the puppy himself, you might be wondering about the groups helping me with him. In this post, I’m going to go explain a bit about the breeder I am getting him from. The answer to that… well, the short answer is Figz Poodles, which some of you may […]
Hey everyone! I’ve got more info posts coming, but we recently got some Cor pictures from the breeders and pre-eight-weeks-trainer and I am just dying of cuteness over here, so I just had to share! Apparently I have a thing with getting photogenic, albiet, hard-to-photogaph black masses as service dog prospects. Haha! We’ll see if […]
Hello everyone! As I’ve been going through this service dog journey I’ve met so many people who comment about their own dogs and whether or not they would make good service dogs. Personally, I love hearing about other people’s dogs! Others, though, may not. And considering people get service dogs to help with anxiety, too, […]
Now that everyone has had a bit of a chance to get used to the idea of me getting Cor from a breeder, I want to go a bit further into the minutia of the breeder I am working with. Here’s the thing about breeders. Because being a responsible breeder is a labor of love […]
Hello all! I find it poetic justice that, going into this New Year, I am starting over in the Service Dog situation. That said, one round of poetic justice is enough–no more is needed if you’re listening, God! For all those newly joining us, I have previously covered the differences between Service Dogs [SDs], Emotional […]
Hello everyone! One for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready And four? Here we go! Everyone, meet Cor! Number 4, and, hopefully, first official, fully trained Service Dog! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 That said, we’re doing things a bit different this time through than we have the last three, and I will be posting […]
Okay, *deep breath* I’ve finally figured out how to put pictures in without algorithms I don’t understand flipping them every which way. Granted, I think the way I’m doing it is technically considered ‘cheating’, but it works, so I’ll take it. 🙂 Yaha has been settling in well with his new people for almost two […]
