And so the Journey Begins...

Hello all,

Since the doctor's refusal to see me several weeks ago, I have had a lot going on. I have begun the search once again to find a doctor that listens and respects the fact that I do know how my own body feels and that there is such a thing as documentation without medication. Anyways, you've heard my rant before.

Some of you may know, I have had it on my mind to get a service dog for some time now. I feel that a service dog would be incredibly helpful in my day to day life with Fibromyalgia as an independent person. In addition to providing me support when I am unstable, helping me up when I fall, and acting as a weight to relieve my joints; the known effects of a dog to the psyche, especially in cases of anxiety and depression, both common in Fibro, and both which I suffer from, are enormous.

So, without further ado, meet Skylar!


Skylar is a 10 week old Border Collie Mix. She is adventurous, bold, and unafraid of new things. She is also wildly affectionate and loves attention. 

Being a dog trainer means I can train her myself, giving us even more opportunities to grow together as a team. She seems the perfect fit for me (even though her puppy attitude can be quite frustrating at times). I am looking forward to the many adventures we will have together.
