All in a day’s work

Whaaat?! Hearing from me again so soon? I told you we had a lot to catch up on. Now that you’ve been brought up to speed about the June office visit and restaurant outing, let’s fast forward to July. Last week, I finally went in to work for the first time with G on my own.Continue reading “All in a day’s work”

Oh, the places we’ll go!

Back in June, Connie, Aidan, G dog, and I went into the studio where I work to get the lay of the land and introduce my co-workers to my new service dog. It was my first time back to the office since late March of 2020 when the pandemic hit. To be perfectly honest, beingContinue reading “Oh, the places we’ll go!”

Solo flight

In my last post, I mentioned that a lot has happened that I haven’t had a chance to update you all on. One of those things was that a few weeks ago, I did venture out with G on my own. It sounds monumental, but I did choose the situation very carefully. I was goingContinue reading “Solo flight”

Model student

I am long overdue for providing an update on how our training is going and what G’s been learning. So much has happened—namely life—that I’ve fallen behind quite behind on these posts. I feel as though just when there’s something worth sharing, there’s immediately something else that happens that’s equally as noteworthy, so I neverContinue reading “Model student”

On the run

Have you ever had one of those moments? Where your heart stops beating and feels like it just dropped into your stomach? And you imagine a deep baritone voice dragging out the words, “Oh, Sh*t” in super-slow motion as the voice-over narration for your life? That was me two Mondays ago in the Costco parking lot. WeContinue reading “On the run”

So much in store for us

Well, we did it! This Monday, we went to a Barnes & Noble. I strutted in there with service dog in tow and my new fire-engine red walker (hey, if I’m going to have to walk down this path, so to speak, you better believe I’m going to own it!) G was styling and profiling wearing hisContinue reading “So much in store for us”

Out & about

Things have been quite busy for me on the work and personal front lately, so I haven’t had the chance to give an update until now. But rest assured that everything is going extremely well. I’ll do a separate post specific to the progress of our in-home tasks, but the big news is that weContinue reading “Out & about”

Frenemies Part 2

Here’s a rundown of our cat’s life before G dog came into our home. Rosco would sleep on our bed every night, usually by my feet. When I would get up and get ready for work, he’d come into the shower when I was done to lap up the water on the floor. Then, he’dContinue reading “Frenemies Part 2”

Let’s ride

This week I was given the green light to take G dog out for car rides! We’re not certified to go into public places together yet, but with my health situation, I won’t go anywhere public anyway without being fully vaccinated. (One more shot to go!) Car rides have been a simple but welcome sourceContinue reading “Let’s ride”

One less thing to worry about

As I write this, G and I have hit our six-week mark together, and the time has just flown by. The things that I worried obsessively about in the beginning now seem like such a distant memory. But like all other overly anxious people out there, I’ve managed to find plenty of other things toContinue reading “One less thing to worry about”
