He’s a lovely expat in Italy you bump into during a hike. He’s a big fan of ABBA and knows a good winery a town over near where he’s staying with some mates.

Good hugger.

[assistancedogmischa]

i haven't posted in a while & don't have much of an update, except to say that i was genuinely, strongly considering if i should wash Mischa - his anxiety in public spaces* isn't any better, though we also haven't done as much actual training as we should have (when we go someone, e.g. the supermarket, we're there to shop, not to train. but i really gotta make time to go there for training as well!). but he always surprises me - even though he's clearly not happy to be there, he's extraordinarily well behaved (except sometimes for some leash pulling...), and always does really well.

we've finally joined our local dog training club (now that we've moved and have access to one), we had our first session last week. we haven't been to a dog training class since puppy school, so i expected Mischa to be distracted and a pain, but he was so focused and did so well! the last ~5 minutes he was getting a bit antsy, but i'd run out of treats lol. and normally when we go to the dog park (where training is), it's to play and run around with other dogs, not to sit quietly and learn for 45 minutes. so i was very impressed!

(the training class is definitely too easy for us - sit, stay down, etc. - but i wanted to start with things we already know because its such a different environment than we're used to. i'm glad we did, i think we'd be ready to move up to the next class (Good Citizen) soon, but i think it's best to ease into it).

all that is to say, i'm more confident now that, with the exception of his anxiety, there's no real reason to wash. not at this stage, anyway. i'm moving interstate next year to go to uni, and i really, really want to be able to bring Misch with me. i just stayed for 2 weeks interstate for surgery, and i left Mischa with my dad because i knew i wouldn't be able to exercise him, and it was really hard! by the end of the 2 weeks i kept dreaming that when i got home he didn't recognise me anymore 😭. so if 2 weeks is that hard, i don't want to try 5 years!

*when i say 'public spaces' i mean things like shops, indoor malls, etc., not just out on the street or whatever. he's shy and doesn't like strangers, so i think a big part of that is the overwhelming, lots of people environment. (i get it, it makes me anxious too lol). but that said, he also doesn't like being in shops when we're the only people there - just the other day we went to a pet shop, we were the only customers, and all we did was walk around sniffing things and rewarding, but Misch was still very glad to leave.

my only solution i can think of is to keep training, gradual desensitisation, short visits only. but that's hard when you have limited energy - choosing between going to the shop for 10 minutes to train, therefore helping both Mischa and I for the long run, but feeling like i've "wasted" a trip (and energy) by not going shopping. or, going to the shop to do actual shopping, helping myself in the short term (by being able to eat lol), but overwhelming Mischa and using up all my energy for the day. i know that the long term solution is the better one, because it means eventually we can go to the shop to actually shop, and Mischa won't be overwhelmed because we did all this training. but the short term solution is also a necessity - i need to buy food to survive lol. (most of the time, i just leave Mischa in the car when I shop. we're not at a point where I can manage shopping (overwhelming and exhausting for me) and training a nervous dog at the same time). (i remember someone saying once that an ADiT becomes an AD when they're no longer a hindrance, but a help. at this stage, Mischa is still a hindrance!).

no one really talks about the struggles of training a dog when you're disabled, even though that's the whole reason why we have assistance animals!

#dogpost #described #service dog in training #assistance dog in training #assistance dog #maremma #white swiss shepherd #maremma sheepdog #service dog #berger blanc swisse #also my car (with mischas vest & leash in it) was stolen. thankfully most of my dog stuff was in the house but some of the important stuff #- (like his vest! and the expensive leash with the handle that i need bc of my grip issues!) was in it. and we found the car but theyd - #- thrown away all the stuff inside it. like even the rearview mirror and the first aid kit and literally everything. and we couldnt rescue #- the car anyway so its probably a burn out husk by now lol... i was more upset about loosing the stuff inside the car than the car itself! #so now we dont have an AD vest anymore. i have a dog backpack (ruffwear's approach pack) that i want to use as his 'vest' but i need to - #- get patches for it so it identifies him as an AD. only ever had 1 access issue (before i got the vest) but i like the security AD - #- identification gives us. esp. because we arent with an organisation or anything.

Al supermercato

[...] trascinano fino alle auto la caterva degli acquisti, dodici bottiglie di acqua gazzosa, dieci pacchetti di gallettine, olive verdi col nocciolo e senza, gli assorbenti igienici per la signora, perché tanto anche 'sto mese ci sono stati attenti, un osso di plastica per il barboncino, venti barattoli di pomodori (anzi di pomidoro, dicono), un pelapatate americano brevettato, che si adopera anche con la sinistra, i grissini, gli sfìlatini, i salatini, gli stecchini, i moscardini e i tovagliolini di carta con le figure a fantasia, tanto spiritosi, tanto divertenti. Io lo dico sempre, metteteci una catasta di libri, e accecati come sono comprerebbero anche quelli.

Pia de' Tolomei was an Italian noblewoman from Siena identified as "la Pia," a minor character in Dante's Divine Comedy who was murdered by her husband. Her brief presence in the poem has inspired many works in art, music, literature, and cinema. Her character in the Divine Comedy is noted for her compassion and serves a greater program among the characters in her canto, as well as the female characters in the entire poem.

Podere Santa Pia was named after Pia de' Tolomei, a woman with an intriguing story. According to some legends, the beautiful Pia di Tolomei, the sorrowful wife of Nello d'Inghiramo de Pannocchieschi, crossed the Ponte della Pia to go into exile in Maremma, at Castello della Pietra. There her husband ordered her execution so he could marry his mistress Margherita Aldobrandeschi, Contessa of Sovana and Pitigliano.

Dante Alighieri wrote about this legend  Pia asks for Dante's prayers when he encounters her waiting to enter Purgatory among souls who died suddenly and unprepared. "Son Pia, Siena mi fé, disfecemi Maremma." ("I am Pia. Siena made me; Maremma unmade me.") Purg. V, 130–136.

It has been theorized that Pia was killed by being thrown out of a window, so her crash into the earth would make her words Maremma "unmade" her literal. An alternate theory suggests Pia was a neglected bride who perished from malaria. Among the early commentators, Jacopo della Lana, the Ottimo Commento, and Francesco da Buti claim that she may have been killed for some crime, while Benvenuto da Imola and the so-called "Anonimo Fiorentino" assert that her death was due to her husband's jealousy. The only consensus on Pia's death is its secrecy, which is why la Pia says that only her husband knows how she died.
