Cryptid Dispatch #1: The Week the Body Chose Violence

The body chose violence this week. Between a thunderclap headache that wouldn’t let go and the ongoing boss fight of finding care as a medically complex patient, this Cryptid Dispatch captures what…

The Crippled Cryptid.

Red Zone week.
Grief. Surgery news. Soup magic.
Luna Bean is on duty 🐾
You made it through the week. That counts.

Friday Takeover: Red Zone Weeks, Soup Magic, and Supervising Big Feelings

A red zone week. A fallen tree. A grief that doesn’t knock before it settles in. From Bed Jail™ to soup magic, Luna Bean reports on survival, softness, and staying—especially when everything feels …

Spring is here 🌱☀️
More sun, more yard time, more ChuckIt balls 🎾
Luna still works, naps, and supervises the garden. Bear’s memory blooms. 🌸
Life with chronic illness doesn’t pause, but spring makes it a little brighter. 💜

Spring Routine, Still No Performance Required

Spring is not a reset button. It’s a negotiation. The dog door opens. The sun returns. The garden calls. Luna is still a service dog. I’m still unpredictable. And Bear isn’t here. This is spring at…

🧵 7 / 7

After shortening the webbing, it fits my dog so much better now! It’s a great harness, for sure, and will be great under his #ServiceDog vest.

I just think that maybe I should have shortened it a little bit more because in the summer when I shave him, it might need to be tightened a bit, but this is already at its smallest. I can adjust the front to make it larger, but not smaller, while the middle and rear sections have lots of room both ways.

I recently purchased a bunch of Ridgeline gear from Ruffwear for my #ServiceDog and it’s awesome stuff; the heavy-duty magnetic Fidlock buckles are especially cool! But unfortunately, the XS harness is a bit too large around his neck, even at its smallest setting.

Nothing some simple #sewing can’t fix, though!

A tree I grew up with fell this week.
To some people it’s just a tree.
To me it was a landmark.
Grief shows up in strange places sometimes. 🌲💔🐾

Fallen Trees & Unexpected Grief

A quiet landmark fell this week. The pine tree that had stood outside my childhood home for more than forty years didn’t survive the windstorm. To some people it’s just a tree, but to me it held de…

This year I am participating in the walk for LFC Canada dog guides, and I need help raising money to support the charity! LFC Canada dog guides is an organization that trains and matches dogs to people with disabilities to help them live independently by mitigating their condition(s).

They are in dire need of funds to help them complete their new training facility so they can help more Canadians with disabilities! Even if you are unable to support financially, please feel free to share this message on social media! https://www.walkfordogguides.com/fundraisers/gracesteam/pet-valu
