    Service Dog

    Service Dogs get to sit front row on the plane 🙂

    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.

    Au Naturel…

    Fed up with smelling my hair cook, just to get it straight; I decided it was time for a change. So last month I put my hair on “Hair Detention”. I didn’t think I’d last very long, but I am proud to say that it has been over a month since I used heat on my hair! Yay! *takes a bow*

    My scalp is happy and healthy, and my hair? Oh man my hair couldn’t be happier. It’s softer, way shinier, surprisingly more manageable, and there is hardly, if any breakage at all! I initially put my hair on “detention” to give it a break from all the heat styling, but somewhere along the line I decided it was time to go completely natural. I wasn’t born with fine hair, so I was done cooking my hair just to achieve that fine straight look. I did my research on maintaining natural hair, and have found some amazing and helpful tips (thank god for the internet and all the lovely ladies for sharing their natural hair tips and tricks). 
    Everyday is a good day to put flowers in your hair J
    If you had asked me about going natural 5 years ago I would’ve laughed in your face; as far as I was concerned natural hair was stubborn and hard to manage, and I’m almost ashamed to know that this is how I once thought. But with all the products surrounding straightening your hair to make it more “manageable”, it’s kind of hard not to fall into that trap. Lucky for me I have seen the light, and have NO intention of ever looking back; I am committed to continuing this journey one nappy hair at a time J Ladies, we are all beautiful; instead of trying to change things in order to look like what society deems as acceptable, embrace who you are, and cherish the many amazing gifts that you have already been blessed with. 

    peace and love
