Visiting Dogs4Diabetics Center, Where My Old Pawprints Were Left

Our trip to California was full of family and friends and one huge piece of business: My recertification with Dogs4Diabetics.

Where a Dog Does His Business

Traveling is always an adventure for me (Aiden the diabetic alert service dog), especially flying.

A Little Rubber Disc and Ducks

Recently I (Aiden, the diabetic alert service dog for Christy) traveled to California, where Aunt Cindy took us to a hockey game.

What’s Your Word?

Every year, I hear it is popular to choose a word to live by for the entire year. I’ve only done this once and because I liked the word so much, I kept it as my word for years. The word was ‘inspire’ and I still like it.

Today on my blog, I’ll share the next chapter in my quest to help Lola find her fur-ever home.
