Figuring it Out


     I am not sure if my family and friends have concerns about my partnership with a service dog.  There is no doubt that this is a life changing decision I have made and it is life changing for everyone close to me as well.  The responsibility of caring for Cleo and explaining how to help me care for Cleo is something that will have to be done.  I am sure that a schedule and routine will be figured out. 
       Taking Cleo back to the hotel was both nerve racking and exciting!  Cleo sniffed everything while wagging her tale like I've never seen before.  After I fed her, groomed her, and watered her I proceeded to do my nightly routine where I was closely followed.  I had to do a transfer and my mom couldn't hear my call for help, so Cleo got her for me. 
       We definitely cuddled in bed.  In the morning both my mom and I were awoken for the reason of Cleo having to go potty.  There was no way I could take her because she had to go badly and if I had rushed I would've fallen.  So, my mom took her to potty and when they came back I fed her.  She is getting to know me as her mommy; when I turn my chair on she is up and ready to help!
       There are some things I'm not sure.  This is my first time doing this, but if Cleo can "get the door" for me we can figure this out!
