Trip to PA/Team Training

Well, the time is almost here! I leave on Saturday morning to fly to PA to go through team training with my new service dog!

Please pray that everything will go smoothly travel-wise and that I'll be able to leave the situations that are going on here (my HMO about has me pulling my hair out in frustration --long story, but in short, they're not looking out for me as a patient and are preventing me from getting the care I need) and be able to focus on the training with Leon.

Something is wrong with my cat Marzipan. I decreased her food on the suggestion of my vet and she's still gaining weight. She's also begun throwing up her kibble in the past 2 weeks --I've been having to soak it in water first so that she keeps it down. She's been acting more stressed than normal. I am worried about her. Ran tests at the vet, but they don't know what's going on.
My roommates are going to be looking after her while I'm gone, so at least I know she'll be in good hands. I just hope nothing happens while I'm out of state.


Yeah, so I'm really excited about going to PA for the 3 weeks of training. I just hope I can leave all the worries of home behind when I go so I can focus on bonding with my new partner and learning to work together. I am so stoked to have a dog again! :D

That's so exciting! Have a wonderful time in PA :) I'll be praying for the team training and travel and Marzipan (cutest name for a cat, BTW).

Thanks! Things are going well! We are now 2 weeks into Team Training!

Leon is such a sweet dog. Very smart. We are working really well together! He walks so smoothly in harness and I'm much less fatigued when walking with him!

Leon and I passed our final exam today! We are now officially a service dog team! :D

We graduate from Canine Partners for Life on Sunday and leave to go home to TX on Monday. :)
