2019 found me welcoming guide dog in training #6, Lilac, in June. She was...so small. She’s currently 8 months old and already larger than Dorothy.
The first dog I raised, Amelia, passed away unexpectedly after a very sudden illness on December 7, 2019.
It seems appropriate to share that on this platform I rarely touch anymore. Because this is where we started. Where I started sharing this journey I was on with puppy raising.
Amelia lived a short life (she was 7) but she lived a full life. I do not doubt for one second that this dog was so loved, so happy, and so satisfied with her life. I know she lived an amazing life. I miss her more than words can express but I am so happy to have been put in her life even if just as a waystation to her larger purpose.
Love you forever, Wookiee
only the coolest pup in Atlanta

8 dogs, 6.5 miles! Little Manatee River State Park
Noodle blew my mind today with how well she did around 5 new dogs, lots of people and other passing dogs on the trail. She only got upset once when a guy let his boxer shove it’s face up in Noodle’s. Guys just absolutely so insanely proud of her.
NOODLE DOG WAS SO GOOD
dogs are: brooke, remy, potter, dorothy, tallulah, milo, monty, & noodle

Hey folk, I’m doing some research on accessibility in zoos in the United States after my own experiences this summer, and I’d love to hear reader experiences / anecdotes.
I’m looking for anything related to ADA compliance / disability accommodation at zoos and aquariums, both positive experiences and issues or questions you’ve run into. I’d love it if you’re willing to share stories publicly (in a reblog or reply, or ask an ask I can publish) but given the sensitivity of the topic I’m happy to not publish messages or keep them anonymous.
Thanks in advance!
anyways here’s a picture of my useless dog
