Hi, I’m Jamie, and I am disabled. I was in a car accident 17 years ago, and just a few years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD.

I have spent the majority of my life learning about the new needs of my body, struggling through the medical world and advocating for myself with no support.

Enter Penny - this tiny little puppy who immediately started showing obscure signs of pain herself. Which came with years of fighting for answers, despite multiple vets telling us she was “too young”.

All of this spurred on a massive passion to be a support system for humans and their dogs who are struggling with the same issues.

Recently, I have been spending a lot of time learning about accommodations and accessibility because I want to make sure that my clients are able to easily access and work their way through my services.

One of the biggest lessons I am learning is that in order to be accessible for others, I need to first be accessible for myself and look at my own internalized ableism. So I am trying something new and my schedule is changing!

In order to try to take care of myself and my needs, and continue to offer accessible services to the best of my ability, my working schedule will now be two months on, one month off. I will be away for the month of June.

You can still get in touch via the contact form on my website, and while you’re there check out my blog post, Dog Guardianship and Disability.

So you think your dog may be in pain, but aren’t quite sure what next steps to take?

I’m here to help!

Of all my clients, one thing remains consistent - They are all concerned that pain may be a factor for their dogs, and so far? Not one of them has been wrong 😳

Why it can be difficult for humans to acknowledge pain in dogs - especially our own. Part 3 of 3.

This is a big one! And when we are dealing with so much of our own human feelings and lived experiences, it can feel quite uncomfortable.

If any of this series makes you feel angry, or uncomfortable or defensive, I urge you to sit with it for a minute, and get curious about why those feelings come up for you, and where they are coming from.

Let’s dig into this together!
