Losing my job almost two years ago, I still feel unmoored, like life doesn't fully make sense day to day, and things certainly haven't "turned out" – whatever that means right now. But my win today was Chadwick and me going on a fun neighborhood walk in the sunshine, followed by a Toastmasters meeting where he was on his best behavior. Everyone was so impressed by my "exquisitely trained service dog"... the truth is, Chadwick is just super smart and figured out that if he's silent, he can go with me just about anywhere. Today, I guess that's how we both eeked out a little winning.

I love this story. You and Chadwick are winning.
