Just wanted to tell everyone i've got really nice small sized window magnets that have the SSD logo on them with the word "supporter" down the side!
If you make a donation to ssd I will send you one to rock!
The donations can be any amount and i will mail it to you. :)
So help represent this organization that makes it possible for me and others with physical disabilities to be independent!

Photoshoot
Winston's favorite "aunt" was over tonight and as he was sleeping she laid her sunglasses on him. It turned into an entire photo shoot. We're easily amused :)
and my personal favorite...

Easter with his new niece, Becca!
Happy Easter! Winston was such a good boy over this holiday. It was a busy day today, with all of my family over, including my sister's new puppy! Shannon and Chris got Becca last week. She is an eight week old GSD.
Winston put up with her relentless need to bite his privates like a champ! My sister couldn't even get a picture of the two of them without the action!
Hahhaha, even after hours of it, he would still turn over onto his back in submission.
Voltaire, our foster puppy followed her around like he had never seen another puppy! It was rather cute if I do say so myself.

Waiting for the Ambulance + Last Nights Victory!
Winston is rather antsy, as he has caught on to the routine of getting ready for me to go to the hospital...without him. Last time he threw up his breakfast right after I left, so i'm not feeding him. Nick, my great friend and trainer at SSD is coming to pick him up at 9 because like I said, he is a great freaking friend. I have Winston vest out. In the packs is my clicker, poop bags, two meals worth of food, his shot records, a law book, water bowl, gentle leader, leash, mini lint roller and haha fliers for a concert...I also have Winston treat bag ready and in it I hid a mix cd, letter and $20 for Nick. Hahah, that sounds like a ton but really it is hardly even full. Winston is curled up on the floor beside my bed, ears back and alert to every sound. If it weren't for Nick, Winnie would be alone with Bill the alcoholic all day! I'd be a mess for my entire hospital visit. I can't express how grateful I am of Nick. He plans on taking Winston out all day to places including the dentist and even a soccer game!

Last night I was exhausted and when Winston heard a weird sound he leaped off my bed and nudged my door open. After he came in I was detirmined to get him to shut it again so that it was dark in my room again. I have tried to get him to "close" the door from across the room in my hospital bed ever since I came home from the hospital in November and have not been succesful unless someone pointed to it. Last night after turning my closet light on and off twice he ran over to the door, and looked back at me with that look they get when they finally figure out what it is you need! With very little encouragement he pushed the door shut and ran over to give me kisses!! I LOVE MY BABY!!!

foster puppy doesn't like man
Foster SSD Voltaire...
...had his first negative encounter with someone today. Coincidentilly it's a friend of Bill (my moms alcoholic ect boyfriend) who is very, very drunk.
He has never even hesitated with someone, and he would not stop growling at this man. He followed commands still, coming into my room, but the minute he was in the same room with the man he would begin growling again.

SD's Intuition
(this is somewhat a joke although Winstons actions are true)
Were you aware that Susquehanna Service Dogs trains their dogs to use their better judgement? When asking Winston to "Nurse" (go find help) if he can only find my moms alcoholic, pathological liar, boyfriend, Winston opts to "Find The Phone" instead. SSD Winston clearly knows he is incompetent and that I am better off with the telephone.
