When my doctor cleared me for "any activity you enjoy and tolerate," I don't think this is what she had in mind.
I'm having fun, though.

Now that my young service dog has just about completed his training, I figured it was time for his first zoo trip. He acted like he had been doing this his whole life. I am so proud.

Long time, no post.
Yesterday, I took my boy to his first sporting event - a Wicked-themed dock diving qualifier.
Baby dog isn't all that familiar with swimming, so we only did a trial, but he willingly submerged up to his ears to retrieve a floating toy!
