Fighting Fibromyalgia One Lick At a Time ! Hello hoomins ! This page is where us doggos can tell people how we help our mum live with her Bad Voodoo.

Mummy is severely sight impaired and daddy is totally blind, and we dogs help them out. Mummy also has a nasty illness called fibromyalgia that makes her very tired, in lots of pain and often really confused. We call it Bad Voodoo because Mummy was talking with her friends on the interwebs about fibromyalgia and one of them said that Mum had "bad voodoo" in her. That made Mummy laugh and laugh, an

d the name has stuck ! There have been a few doggies writing this page over the years but currently (2020) we have Stella, the black flat coated retriever cross golden retriever, Jackson, the Labrador, and Ajay, who is a Labrador golden retriever cross. We were all trained by Guide Dogs for the Blind. Stella and Ajay are dual trained dogs -that means they guide and also do physical tasks like helping mum dress, getting stuff out of the washer, pick things up, and other things. Stella is retired now but she did that job for many years from 2012. Ajay took over from her in November 2020. Jackson is dad’s guide dog, and he just does guiding. There are also posts from Otto, the labradoodle, who used to be daddy’s guide dog, until he passed away in 2019. And Jalen the German Shepherd, who was mummy’s pet a very long time ago.

Hello hoomins. Long time no post!
Mummy and I have been together three years today!! ♥️♥️

We have been busy lately as we're doing a real lot for Inclusive Norwich, but also mummy has been quite sad because she kinda feels that the heart of this page died a little when we lost Stella. It will be a year to the day on the 30th of this month.

Mummy is still doing her photography over at Rae Andrews - Soft of Sight Photography but even that is kinda fading a little as earlier this year mummy had some new eyesight issues that mean she can't focus at any distance even in the little bit of vision she has left. It's making things really hard for her and making her sad.

So - is everything sad, you ask?
No, it's not all sad. We get to do really impactful and useful things with Inclusive Norwich and meet lots of people. And everyone loves me, because... Well they would wouldn't they? I am handsome and awesome and mummy loves me more than anything.

Here is a picture of me at our recent charity afternoon tea, which was really lovely. One of our guests came round with sticky labels to stick on everyone so we woujd know each other's names. If course this didn't work for mummy but everyone else there can see! I am looking at up mummy with a white label on my head that has "Biggie" written on it!
