Made a new friend on the Green today ⛄️😋 . . . Picture shows Kelsie sitting slightly behind a squat, two-snowballs-tall snowman with stick arms and a small carrot nose.

Another day, another medical referral! 🏥 My girl jokes that medical appointments are an extracurricular activity for her. 😋 It's always both stressful and exciting to look for answers. 💬 If the problem turns out to be linked to her fibro like she suspects, there might not be much that anyone can do for her more than the little that's already being done, which is a little disappointing. 😕 But hey, at least my girl and I survived our first week of classes! 😅 It's been difficult having three back-to-back classes, but I've been handling it like a pro. 👊 This isn't my first academic rodeo though! 🏇 At this point, my girl expects me to be as good of a classmate as the human students in the room. 🤓 Just like anywhere else, a service dog like me should be invisible unless I'm doing a task for my girl. ♿️ . . .

It's laundry day yet again! 👚🐶 Luckily for my girl, I love to help her out with chores, especially this one. 😄 Sorting this pile took about 10 minutes, which probably is longer than if my girl had done it herself, but because I helped her out, she was able to leap right into studying afterward! 📚📝 Normally, activities like doing laundry deplete my girl's limited energy, forcing her to take a nap just to continue with her day. 💤 Sometimes it's the little tasks that are the most helpful to my girl! 👍 (and the most fun for me! 😋) (Pardon the brief appearances of my girl's underwear 🙈👙) . . . [Video shows a compilation of clips where Kelsie is picking up various items from a pile of laundry on the ground and hands them to her girl. Her tail is wagging the whole time.] . . . #LaundryDay #SaturdayFun #GoodGirl #TaskTrained #DogTricks #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #DogsOfInstagram #DogTraining #BorderCollie #BlueHeeler #PoundPuppy #RespectTheVest #MobilityDog #MedicalAlertDog #PsychiatricServiceDog #WhoRescuedWhom #Spoonie #SpoonieStrong #ChronicIllness #InvisibleIllness #Migraines #Fibromyalgia #FibroFighter #Dysautonomia #Fatigue #DartmouthCollege #CollegeLife #CollegeDog (at Hanover, New Hampshire)

Snow on my snoot ❄️🐶 . . [Image is of Kelsie standing in the snow and looking up at the camera.
