The Tails of Hydra

The Tails of Hydra Dedicated to the OG doggo, The Trucking Titan, over the Rainbow Bridge Oct 5 2023 I sustained a head injury while at work and it was a life changing experience.

Titan was a recue from Casper Humane Society- He started out as a scared little pupper than slowly came out of his shell and was loved by hundreds of people as I shared his story, and the daily story of our lives over the road as long haul truckers. We strove to educate the public, and just share the quirks of daily trucking life with everyone. Eventually we retired from trucking, got other jobs a

nd started moving away from the page, and posting as regular, much to the chagrin of our fans- but it felt like we just didn't have a whole lot to share that was interesting. As time went by Titan got older, and older, and at the age of 17 he had a medical emergency and ultimately crossed the Rainbow Bridge, where I'm sure he is happy with a pain free body, and endless romps in the sun.

We are continuing our journey with a new pup, Hydra who is in training to be a service dog for myself. While Hydra was originally intended to be just a pet, he showed a real aptitude for intelligence and calm and I decided that he would be happier with a job- and he has skills that can make us a great team and help me live a more normal life. So now we are sharing that journey with our fans.

Oh look, someone is taking doggo classes to stay sharp (he was sharp as a crayon tonight, and another dog touched his face and hydra was like....ewww gross but was a very good dog and didn't do anything) It's okay Hydra we get it, everyone has off days.

Our trainer had a hard time getting a good photo because he always folds his ears back when she takes a picture and he looks like a seal. 🦭

🌺Lest We Forget 🌺

Today we take a moment to remember and honour the brave men, women, and animals who gave so much for our freedom. Their strength and sacrifice continue to inspire us every day. We pause to reflect, to give thanks, and to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.

Sorry we haven't been posting as much- I had some pain shots right before the tournament that triggered more migraines and worse pain in my neck than I had before. The shots to the neck were an experiment to see if it would help, and I'm pretty certain they do not.

Anyhow between that and regular life, and trying to go through 3k photos that I took I've been a bit busy. I had a few people request photos from me which is great, it's extremely hard to get 'known' as a photographer and even harder to make a living from it (spoiler alert I will likely never be that popular LOL)

Here's a photo of one of Jon's near death experiences ringside taking photos, him and another spectator got real close to the action. Jon arguably had the better position to get really cool shots, but it was also a bit dustier and more hazardous lol. Hydra and I got the high ground this time around so I could set up a dog bed and blankets for him, and a chair and table for me to sit at while taking all these cool shots.

Exciting day!!!!! We ordered some custom patches from Humble Dog and they arrived and are super cool. We have plans to make a few vests for Hydra including a fancy tabbard style thing for events (it's called a caparison if it's on horses so probably the same if it's a dog???) Anyhow, we have plans!!!

The amount of times they have recorded what I am telling them down wrong and then I pay for it when the next doctor reads the mistake and takes it for gospel. It's frustrating and once they have written something in your chart it stays there forever no matter how much you fight to have it amended.

Trip to Home Depot! Jon wants to make a shield and while we have plenty of wood we don't have wood glue. Last time I bought wood glue it was really cheap and was apparently a long long time ago because... Holy crabapple it's expensive. We are going to wait on buying glue ... might have to win a lotto or something

Back at the most boring place on earth, the doctor's office. This time it was to see the physiotherapist. Then we went to thrift stores and princess auto where he got to see his favourite person even though he acted like she wasn't, lol. What a doggo, now he's breaking hearts..

Armouring day!!! Jon is still making a suit of armour, and currently he is using some armour he got for cheap that doesn't fit him, or anybody well...lol. So he needs to bend and hammer it into shape. It's loud and chaotic and the shop has all kinds of smells. Hydra and I usually spend armouring day with Grandma, but she needs to go to bed earlier due to work so then we hop over and hang out with chaos for a bit before heading home.
