    (NY) 1 Month

    I have a cozy studio apartment in West Village. It is considered downtown Manhattan and the neighborhood is just lovely. Compared to Toronto, I would say it’s a mix between Liberty Village and Kensington. Compared to LA, I would say it’s very Abbot Kinney with a Venice Beach feel.  I love my big windows!  So when I moved here, I had none of my stuff  so I only had my mattress and the ‘make a closet’ from Target. Kinda empty right?
    but alas, my things arrived in 8 mangled boxes via Fed Ex ground eventually 2 weeks later.
    So with I had to find a place for all my clothes, shoes and clothes and more shoes.

    OMG right? But guess what, it all fit in my ‘closet’!

    Ta-da! Shoes on the left, tops on the right and all hangables on the top, skirts on the bottom, bags on the top! Woo!

    We are just a hop skip away from NYU and Washington Square. On the weekend, a guy rolls his piano there and plays for everyone! He is a concert pianist at the very least – it’s wonderful.

    Two bright windows, more than happy! I can people watch and sit by the window thinking about my life… and what to blog πŸ™‚

    I have yet to find a ‘bed’ but I am okay with my mattress for now.

    So this is the tour – Here is my room, closet, bed and mini sofa

    And right beside the bed, is my kitchenette, perfect for small gourmet meals for 1.

    The door is right beside it.. lol. This is how cozy and quaint New York apartments are.

    Right past my kitchenette is my bathroom! It has a stand up shower, sink and toilet. I pee/shower with the door open cuz… it get a bit claustrophobic because it’s so tiny.
    So that’s my place! 1 month in New York so far… so far so good πŸ™‚ Please come visit, but 1 at a time…!

    Service Dog

    Service Dogs get to sit front row on the plane πŸ™‚

    Jackson is a 6 year old Chocolate Labrador. He was rescued from the vets office when he was young by one of the ABS Service dog trainers.  In 2005 our trainers brother, Dr. David Carr, a local pediatrician in Orlando, Fl. became ill.  He was misdiagnosed with MS, and had a rapid onset of an unknown disease.  He slowly deteriorated, lost fifty pounds, lost his vision, mobility and ability to eat. 

    On his “death bed” at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Fl the doctors discovered that it was Pernicious Anemia, Vitamin B12 deficiency.  Dr. Carr was told by his doctors that he would probably gain his sight back, but he would not walk again.  Our trainer, that had Jackson, trained day and night to shape Jackson to be a balance dog for Dr. Carr.  Jackson assisted Dr. Carr in his rehabilitation, and helped him learn to walk again.  Jackson would sense when Dr. Carr was losing his balance, and he would support him.  Jackson is now enjoying his retirement, and teaching all of the new service dog puppies we bring along.  He is a true working dog!

    Remember, service dogs comes in all shapes and sizes… Does a lot of different things to help people.
