Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday so far...I’ll just leave you with this handsome face! #day121of365

Hi! Edison here! Sharing some exciting news with you. I just got the shipment of tote bags that I got made so you can now be part of the Edison365 tribe! The money raised from the tote bag sales will go directly back to NEADS World Class Service Dogs to help support other clients that are currently fundraising for NEADS. #day122of365

Edison and I are super excited about being an Abilities Expo ambassador this weekend! We’re at the New Jersey Convention and Exhibition Center in Edison, New Jersey. It’s definitely something not to miss if you’re in the area. #day123of365

Edison is quite popular at the Abilities Expo. He made quick friends and got lots of ear rubs at the @adapts_team booth. #day124of365

Edison was so tired at the Abilities Expo, so I made him a comfy spot where he could relax. I love the Abilities Expo for the amazing community it creates. #day125of365

At the Abilities Expo I saw a friend who I haven’t seen in over 15 years! He is nonverbal but his smile says it all! He lit up when he met Edison for the first time. #day126of365

Thanks to Community Conscious for this beautiful photo! Edison and I were at the Abilities Expo this past weekend, and Scott came up to me and snapped the shot and within seconds it was on my phone via wifi. Technology is truly amazing! #day127of365

Edison did so well during his eye exam. This service is offered yearly and free of charge every May for Service Dogs. I am so thankful I have access to this specialty program - getting the highest quality veterinary care means he can work for me to the best of his ability and for the longest time possible.

Edison and I went to Harbor Point in Stamford and sat by the water while I ate my lunch. The weather has been quite rainy lately so it’s been great to have the sun back! Can you find Edison in the photo? #day129of365

Here we are meeting one of our Instagram followers, and it turns out they live in the same town as us! What are the chances??! #day130of365

I guess he’s a Lab! When his working gear is off, he is always carrying a toy in his mouth. #day131of365

Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing Mom! She has stuck with me through thick and thin, hardships and successes. No matter what, I know she will always be there for me. I love her so very much (my 4-legged helper does too!) Even with the dreary weather, you brighten up any day just by being with you! #day132of365

Edison makes friends wherever we go. Well, actually, through him, both of us make friends. This is how it goes: everyone we meet absolutely admires him and then they see me and we connect. The initial connection and conversation is not focused so much on my disability or my wheelchair, but more about who I am as a person. I feel so much more comfortable when I am with him. He’s much more than a physical helper! #day133of365

It’s #tongueouttuesday and I think it’s been mastered! Edison and his pal were so tired after a good play. That’s what friends are for! (There are leashes on both dogs for safety.) #day134of365

That’s a lot of toys for my boy! First picture is not even half of all he has. #day135of365
