An Update on the House & Us

Jack went back to work on Monday and his boss is really overworking him. Getting in most nights after 8 or 9pm means no progress at the house

Wish I could come down and help. I would be kind of useless, but distracting. Byron would be silly.

Byron could be Athena's buddy. She is training but damn, it is hard to do while in someone else's house, ya know?

He could share some of his assistance dog training with her.

Athena is working on "pick up" right now. My big problem is how excited she gets about people. I hope we can curb that soon. She is just 7 months old and such a baby.

I am hoping to teach Byron how to push the elevator button. His biggest problem is he is so cute that people always want to pet him, or have their picture taken with him. I hate to say no to people when they ask. Sometimes he will see a small child approaching and sit down hopping to get a pat. He is nine, and that habit is to hard to break.

Some times he drives me crazy, like when we walk by the area drunks. They try to call him over, and it's a real pain to get him to respond. We have to work on that more. This area is far more populated than Oak Island is.

Dee is the same way, and she is two. Sometimes she just goes to people and sniffs while she should be guiding or sitting still. What kind of tasks will Athena do for you?

The goal is for her to do some anxiety work - she is already good at this as she does what she can to get me out of situations. She is also going to provide support for lupus/fibro. She will brace so that I can lean on her. I don't know when I am in pain oftentimes until it is too late. Athena is already learning these clues as well. She is helping with "pick up" & other things that I am unable to do.
