Chronic pain, chronic pain in the... you get the point. I write, read, and watch bad movies. I have a block and be gone policy when it comes to drama.

Having severe balance issues sucks. I already got 2 CNS issues. Why my body gotta add balance problems to the mix? #disabled

At the end of the day, it's important to remember that your service dog is still a *dog* and have needs that should be fulfilled as well. #servicedog #dogsofbluesky #germanwirehairedpointer

Y'all... my dog looks like he's been badly taxidermied. #dogsofbluesky #funny #germanwirehairedpointer

Me, terrified of even accidentally dropping Hudson's leash even though I've fallen walking him and I know he won't leave me.

Hudson's trainer sending me this pic and my heart skipping a beat.

When Hudson heads dump trucks or garbage trucks, he doesn't shiver, bark, or growl. He just runs over to me and leans against me while he listens. Look at that face. #dogsofbluesky
A black-and-white German Wirehaired Pointer stands on his hind paws, front paws on his humans leg. There is a look of extreme concern in his brown eyes.

I have no birbs to cleanse the timeline, but I do have a puppy trying to climb a tree. #dogsofbluesky
A black-and-white German Wirehaired Pointer stands on his rear legs in the middle of a large p-willow tree. His tongue is lolling out the side of his mouth and his brown eyes shine in the light.

We are volunteering with The Canine Collective today at Pet Supplies Plus in Dublin, OH, and we have the cutest little dude with us!

Meet Peso. He's 2 years old, 100% cute, and was left in an apartment when his owners moved.

You'd think he'd been out there 10 hours instead of 30 seconds. Attachment issues, much? #dogsofbluesky #germanwirehairedpointer #puppy
A black-and-white German Wirehaired Pointer stands upright, front paws resting on a screen door. He is looking sadly into the camera like he has been forced to stay outside forever.

Husband took this. Such a pretty pic showcasing his face fuzz. #germanwirehairedpointer #dogsofbluesky #photography
A black and white German wirehaired pointer sits erect in profile on asphalt in front of a gorgeous yellow and peach sunset. The light makes his short beard glow orange.

Next up tonight is Crashing the Net by Jami Davenport. A hockey romance. Puck-er up, y'all.

Started The Enigma Strain by Nick Thacker tonight. Don't think I've read anything from him before, but coming on heels of The Taken Ones, he has some big shoes to fill.

The Night Shift doesn't break new ground or even become a breath of fresh air in the genre, but it's solid and an easy read. Good book to take along on a long commute. 4🌟

Just finished reading The Crash by Freida McFadden. An easy enough read that I finished it in under two hours, and definitely tense at times, but lasting impression was that it was just an okay read, unfortunately. Can't quite put my finger on why. 🌟🌟🌟

This book cover of The Crash features a road covered in snow against a blood red sky.

Yes, I post a lot of pics of my dog. I can't help it (and I don't regret it.)

Title: "I kept your seat warm, mum. Time to get back to your story."

Today, I learned that while Hudson may be a cheese fiend, he is 100% hot dog's b*tch. (And I got said hot dogs on sale. 2 packs for 3 dollars.)

Our trainer raved about how good Hudson had been doing, so I took a chance and we went to the library.

He did amazing! I know eventually he'll probably need to be under my legs, but baby steps! #dogsofbluesky #puppy #servicedog 🐶

People are so used to seeing labs as service dogs that when I had Hudson out today in his vest for a training walk, I got asked if he was a lab...

I really, really don't see how you could even begin to think that 🤣🤣

Sure glad other disabled people understand how to park and account for the fact that some of us might need to get our wheelchairs out the back...

Morning birb sighting. No clue what sort. Anyone wanna have a go at identifying? #birds #ornithology

It was actually nice enough to train outside today, so I took Hudson down to the park on a long line. We worked on Stay, Heel, and With Me as well as recall reinforcement. #dogs #dogtraining 🐶
