Oh I don't know Sas, there is something to be said for listening to the pitch and then saying "righteo mate, NEXT" ROFLMAO!!!

That does sound like fun. How cool if you could do that for real too. I know you and Quincy could totally Do it.
Hmmm, howling wind, blowing cold and snow, don't they do this in the summer months??!!! hahahaha
On the other hand, Canada Goose has excellent coats that can keep you very warm, one of them comes all the way down to the ankles, keep you very toasty in that blowing cold. Think they might be a tad spendy though. Which sort of figures doesn't it. LOL

Still good times coming your way I bet!

Sharlene, have been doing and saying that for the past 23 years...anyone even slightly interested I send away...hehehehe :p That Canadian Goose sounds delightfull but also very much out of reach :D Just as out of reach as the heated jackets...that would be a dream come true. But that's all it will ever be, a dream :D But...having very little money I still found the perfect solution. I went to a dumpstore (where you can buy used army stuff) and bought a sleeping bag, one that was used for pole survivals...very very warm. I cut 2 holes at the top so I can put my arms through them and voila...I have a real cozy, wind and rain proof, very warm "jacket" to keep warm in my wheelchair during winter :D I can even fit a dog inthere as well, hahaha...the perfect solution for someone in a wheelchair with no money but still would like to keep warm and dry in the winter ;)

Sas :)

That is so smart Sas!!! I don't have a canadian goose jacket either. Some winters I wish for one though. Lol. Maybe one day but a bit doubtful with Molly medical coming first. I work for her you know. Hehhehe

A typical Saturday evening :D

Sweet dreams all :)

Fall continues to be magnificent here :D So we continue to profit from it... It's so much fun and it's so easy to take Quincy for walks into unknown territories with unknown dogs, she gets along with everyone, she's delightfull :D She played with at least 20 different dogs during yesterday's walk :eek:

And she's incredably willing to please :) When I'm on my bed, in the evening, and too tired ( well...too lazy actually) to get the tv guide and the remote control who are just out of reach for me (at least, out of reach if I don't want to move a bit :p ), Quincy provides me with roomservice and hands them to me :D

And in a hour and half, she is going to accompany me to the hospital, her second visit to a hospital. The first time she did very well...let's see how she will handle today's visit :)

Saskia and Quincy :)

Oh she is so beautiful, Sas! Her coat gleams, her eyes shine with joy and love, and it is obvious she is delighted to do her job, eager to please her mom. I am so happy for you both!

Yep, Quincy is a beauty. Two beautiful girls, hanging out, doing their thing, enjoying the days.
How did the hospital trip go? I bet Quincy just Loves her life these days.

hugs

And a couple of new videos... :)

At home I don't have push buttons to open doors and such so Quincy never had to do that. But the entrance door at the apartmentcomplex where my parents life, does have a push button. So I wanted to see if Quins would/could do it...just to be sure she understood it, we did it a second time. This is her absolute first time ever... :D

This was at the course last Saturday. Quincy has to lay down and stay down, at a distance, till I call her...

At the pharmacy today. The first time ever Quincy gets something from the desk and hands it to me...unleashed :D

And this is just a fun video showing Quins during our walks. When she just came here, she was afraid to play with me...and look at her now :D Afraid? No way, she is constantly challenging me, daring me..crawling backwards (perhaps we should start doggy dancing, judging by some of Quincy's moves, hehehe..), jumping on(and taking bites out of :eek: ) mole hills, jumping on my armrest, barking at me...running around my chair....she's having a blast nowadays :D

Sas and Quincy :)

She is sooo smart!!! Once she started learning, it seems like there is no stopping her.

You're right, cutest picture Ever.

Hi Sas!

I've just gone back to August and read everything and watched every video. It gives one a bit of a different perspective on Quincy. It's like watching a slow motion reel of her growing up. How old is she now?

Oh she is so beautiful, Sas! Her black coat is so shiny, it gleams. You can see the happiness in her eyes. It is so wonderful seeing a dog get comfortable with a new owner and then start to thrive. It is obvious she is delighted to do as you ask, eager to please her mom. I am so happy for you both! I like her spunk. :D

May I ask what you use as training treats? It looks like sometimes you have something like baby food in jars and at other times you seem to have some sort of kibble or such thing.

It just really warmed my heart, especially knowing all you have been through, to see you both so happy. You have done a magnificent job. Bailey will arrive after lunch time. ;) Let me know when she's ready to be picked back up.:)
