Interesting fact about Deer

Did you know that generally whitetailed deer need to consume about 3% of their body weight each day in food?

So if the average buck is between 125 to 250 pounds, they have to consume between 4000 and 6000 calories per day.

That translates to about 4 to 10 pounds of food per day. No wonder they are destroying shrubbery and gardens throughout the neighborhoods!

Finding Sheds

Teach Your Dog To Find Sheds | Field & Stream


Here is a great idea to keep in mind for next year. If I tag a buck this year, I may train Misty with the antlers to start finding sheds.

Unless he happens to be Bullwinkle, then he is going on the wall of fame.

Six Months Together


It's hard to believe that Misty and I have been partners for six months already. Time certainly has gone by quickly.

A partnership between an individual with a disability and a service dog is a very special relationship built on trust, interdependence, respect and love.

The bonding process takes time. Time to develop the trust necessary to be a true working team.

As I write this Misty Morning is laying beside my right wheel tucked in between the counter and my wheelchair. She could lay anywhere in this entire house, she chooses to lay beside me. I choose her, that's how it is.
