Honoring Winifred

Winifred was the best dog I think I ever owned. She was obnoxious, a barker, a bee catcher, a lizard hunter, a simple dog, sometimes decided she was going to take on a big dog, but she was the best with all people and kids. In fact, she was an escape artist to go see her favorite people. She was a digger, and would find any hole to get through the fence just to go see the kids and people. Oh, and she LOVED cats. Winnie never really understood why cats didn't like her. 

My sister got Winifred in Florida under the pretense that was she was an entirely different breed than she was. She was a Chihuahua/ Pomeranian/ and some American Eskimo. Most people hear those breeds and assume that they're just ankle biters for anything. She only did that with some dogs, but for the most part, no one was a stranger. Winnie would gladly let a burglar in if it meant she got belly rubs and a treat. She also had no problems walking into other people's houses and making herself comfortable. People asked quite often if they could keep her. I lost count how many people offered money. Winnie had no value in money because she was my amazing dog. She was a great therapy dog for people. She loved the attention at airports and rest stops. She would make people's stressful day immediately better, and she LOVED it. 

I'll be posting pictures of Winnie now. She loved from 2000-may 2018. 
Eating grass

Snuggles

Teaching the new dogs how cool neighbors are

Always loved car rides

Showing Lucy a good bed. 

Begging for a treat

Diva

Always barking

Pretty girl

Loved Sunbathing

Diva

Making sure her food doesn't move

Letme go on a walk bark

So snuggly

Teaching Titus the ropes

Her tounge always out


Always loved being on top of heads

Running away to walk herself

She taught these 2 that people can be awemsome

She loved window watching

What human?

Off she goes again

Fell asleep mid window watching
















She stole this doll to snuggle with it















There are a few that I have no idea where they could be, but I loved her guts!

Independence

Alright, you guys. I am going to get REAL with you guys on this post.  I was sitting down today, my day off, and looking around me thinking, "man, as a 26-year-old woman, I am seeing people much younger than me living such independent lives compared to me." It hit me, we are all on different life paths, with different problems, and different situations. I personally have not really "experienced" life on my own. I have lived with family members all my life and would LOVE to be on my own. I have worked, done some college, traveled, and a few other things while I am at home or with family. I have done things to try to improve my personal situation, but I have my reasons, and I want to share my reasons for living at home up to this point. I was diagnosed very young, about 8 years old, maybe nine, with Aspergers. Although I am considered high functioning, I have my had my fair share of difficulties associated with it. When I tell people that I am an Aspie, I usually

Seeking Help as an Adult

Growing up, getting the help I needed for my disability was readily available. I was always under the illusion that college would be great for people with disabilities, that people won't discriminate during the application or hiring process. I quickly learned that that is not the case. At all. Once I turned 18, the real world hit me, and hit me hard. To get the help I needed in school/ college I had to jump through hoops, and go through confusing (for me) mazes just to receive minute help. It was extremely overwhelming, and a lot of work, and because of that, I did not complete college  I would love to go back, and have assistance on so many things. However, that's not usually the case for adults. Another hard decision I have come to in my life is to either lie, or completely not say, is that I never say I have a disability. I have lost opportunities, jobs, and so much more because jobs, businesses, places of employment see the disability, and not me. Which means, I have be

Employment

I sat down today after my vacation to read an article about employment, and it caught my attention immediately! I read it over at 'The Mighty' website, and I linked it right here for you guys to read if you want:  https://themighty.com/2017/09/tips-for-hiring-an-employee-with-autism/ What got to me in the article is that less than a third of people who have Asperger's are employed. That does not surprise me because it took me forever to find a job. When I did get my first job, I had a very difficult time, and in fact still, do struggle at my current job. It is difficult because of the smells, the noise, and the constant talking to people that really drain me. I am very sensitive to lights, smells, people and noises, and grooming dogs is probably not the best environment for someone with Asperger's. Could I be in a better grooming environment with my diagnosis? I am sure, but I have yet to find one. One thing I feel like that could have helped me from the very be
