What a Year It Has Been


Yesterday marked one year that Mom has been disabled. It has really been a roller coaster year for both of us. I have sat with Mom through many tears, many seizures but also many good times. She has learned so much about service dogs and has met (online and in real life) so many wonderful people and pups.
We don't know what this next year will hold for us. We are back at square one trying to find a diagnosis again and Mom is getting worse. I am going back in to training to work on some more complicated tasks to help Mom out. Mom is starting her own business. Who knows what else will happen?

  5. Oh sweetie, this totally sucks. My crazy lady knows what it's like to search for a diagnosis-- it took the medical folks over 6 years to discover her spinal cord tumor, and by then her neck had collapsed and her paralysis was permanent. Tell your mom to never give up the fight. Don't ever, ever let the powers-that-be convince her that nothing serious is wrong. Your mom has amazing instincts, and she knows her own body. Your mom is a strong, powerful, intelligent woman who is blessed to have you in her life. You are a beautiful working dog, and you provide an invaluable service. You and your mom are wonderful critters (human and dog).
    take care!
    Luv,
    Sugar (and her crazy lady)
