First Post intro...
I'm a dog trainer and behaviour practitioner who also has ME/CFS. Having a chronic illness doesn't mean you can't care for a dog! Here to support all those dog guardians with chronic illnesses.
I also specialise in anxious and fearful dogs along with small dogs 🐕
Here's my gang!

I'm slowly running out of zombie apocalypse films to watch.

Yes, my dogs beg for food! They'd do anything for a prawn cracker!

Medical historian here to remind you of the benefits of #vaccines!
This is the final stage of tetanus when nerves fire continuously & body contorts into agonizing posture known as opisthotonus. The mastication muscles clamp down to form the hallmark lockjaw.
A vaccine didn't appear until 1924.

I still have little idea what triggers PEM and what doesn't; why I can do something one time with no problems but the same thing another time floors me.
Never mind, there's always dogs!

This beautiful girl is Rae, my 11 Yr old Sheltie. Her life now is a far cry from how it was 6 yrs ago due to my ME. We did agility, competing most weekends. She now has 2 x 1hr walks a day (I use a scooter) and she is happy as she's an older girl. Our dogs adapt as our energy changes.

Some #pwME avoid mobility aids as they worry about what people will say when they see them walking unaided. That people will think they're faking.
I use my scooter to walk my dogs and sometimes I don't. I've been accused of faking, but I use whatever means necessary to ensure my dogs' needs are met.
