Indy Honor Flight
This is absolutely one of my favorite things to do. It’s always such an honor to be able to be a part of such an amazing organization. Huge thank you to all of my IHF friends for letting me and my dad honor our heroes! At last count I have now been a part of 26 honor flights! (23 Indy Honor Flights and 3 Bluegrass Honor Flights!)
IHF mission: To transport America’s Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their sacrifices.
Indy Honor Flight transports WWII, Korea and Vietnam veterans to see their memorials in Washington, D.C. For free!
Miracle Ride For Riley Hospital Children
2023 was my 5th time participating in the ride. Last summer I met the young lady in the photos (Raelyn) at a nearby store and gave her my card and told her mom to let her watch me and my friends on our Amazon Prime Video show called “The Pack”. Her mom messaged me a few weeks later saying how much Raelyn loved seeing me on the show. She even slept with the card I gave her.
A few weeks ago Raelyn’s mom messaged me saying that they had been at Riley because Raelyn was diagnosed with leukemia a few months ago. She said that they would be at Riley the day of the ride getting a chemo treatment but Raelyn wanted to see me. We led the Jeeps to the hospital and we parked our real Jeep and I drove my mini Jeep over to see Raelyn and her family who were waiting on me. She hugged on me and I gave her kisses. I also gave her a Dixie shirt, a Dixie doll, and a Dixie coloring book. She is such a sweet girl and it angers us that she’s sick but to see her smile meant everything.
Hospital Visits
I had a therapy dog visit today at Terre Haute Regional Hospital! I visited with the patients, nurses, and doctors! It was good seeing them all smile!
And here I am sitting with my grandma at the hospital and I got to visit with some other patients and nurses while I’m here.
Comforting people in the hospital whether their patients, or staff is a good thing!

My Story
On September 24, 2012, my dad lost his house and my 2 fur brothers and fur sister to a fire. If it wasn’t for this awful day I might not be here. My life is dedicated to them and everything I do is a tribute to them.
Doing therapy work for veterans and kids, nursing home and VA Hospital visits, my work with Indy Honor Flight, etc. it’s all for them.
I was able to tell the world how special they were when my Amazon Prime Show “The Pack” aired.
I just hope I’m making them proud and I promise to continue in their memory until it’s my turn to cross the rainbow ridge.
Make sure your fur parents have a fire safety plan for you. “Pets Inside” stickers on all windows and doors, working smoke detectors, leaving a key with your neighbors, installing a doggy door, and/or getting a Furbo Dog Camera.
