Arabella The Service Labrador In Training

Cher ami, I am Arabella. I am a Labrador Retriever in training to be a service dog for my human.

Merry Christmas to all!

Love, Arabella

My handler and I passed the CGC test yesterday. I was a very good girl.

Labs are definitely snow dogs.

Yesterday I had the most grueling day of Service Dog In Training work yet. My handler's family member had to go to the hospital - she needed knee replacement (which my handler tells me is a very painful and hard surgery).

I was a very well-behaved dog for 3 hours straight!! Then I was taken for an adventure walk at a new park with more ducks than I've ever seen!!!

♾️ INFINITE DUCKS! 🦆🦆🦆🦆

Just when I was the most tired I've ever been from my first trip to the hospital and the walk, I had to go back to the hospital and wait calmly for two more hours!

My long working day turned into a 5 hour marathon (punctuated by a super fun walk with duckies!) .

I was such a good girl.

Here are some pics from my adventures.

Balloons must be dealt with by an expert.

What does a service pup in training do to unwind after a long day? Well, generally I like to roll around on the floor with my toys!

Great tips for raising a prospect puppy.

I have learned a new task. Pushing things with my nose! Sometimes my human uses a wheelchair when her joints get all swollen and nasty. She says if you’ve never tried to use a wheelchair you’ll be amazed at some of the stuff that’s hard to do - closing doors is one thing that is hard. Closing drawers in a narrow kitchen is another! I’ve learned to do these things for her. 🥰

I went to the infusion center today for the first time. I was a very good girl. I waited patiently on my mat while my human got her treatments. I got to say hi to the nurses! They LOVED me and said I was very sweet and well-behaved, which, of course, I am.

Wonderfully stated and Arabella approved.

Today's adventure with my human was a desensitization and counter conditioning training trip to Spirit Halloween. I was extremely brave. I met people with masks, Animatronic monsters and lots of skeletons. I was a very good girl.

I'm completely worn out. Who knew human neurology appointments were so long????

I love swimmy season. 🐬

Yay! I can play and run and romp again!

THROW THE BALL, WOMAN!

Naked post-op tummy!

Feeling better! Antibiotics are a good thing. Especially when followed by a cookie from Three Dog Bakery Headquarters.

We have had a run of rotten luck! I got really sick and needed sepurgey. I feel a little funny - maybe it’s all the pills?

09/12/2022

We had a sad thing happen. My very best Labrador friend, Evangeline, has crossed the rainbow bridge. We are all sad. We will miss you.

Just taking a nap at my human’s rheumatologist’s office. 🥱

09/12/2022

I’ve graduated from going on short adventures to going on much longer adventures! Here I am at the orthopedic office.

Do I look all growed up??

I went to my first AKC FastCAT race. I finished! Yay!
