A screenshot of an email addressed to Dr. Leung at the SF SPCA. The text emphasizes that private training is not a viable expense on a disability budget and clarifies that Alice is not "untrained," detailing the sophisticated brain puzzles and scent-work the owner does with her daily.
The continuation of the email to Dr. Leung. The text explains that Alice is being managed for "biological thresholds" rather than basic skills. It addresses a suggestion to try a lower dose of Fluoxetine, questioning why that wasn't recommended previously when Alice was being tapered off due to significant side effects.
The conclusion of the email to Dr. Leung, dated March 5, 2026. The sender, Holly Ross, requests to move forward with Option 1: Clonidine, to address Alice's physiological arousal, noting that the behaviorist advised against Venlafaxine at this time.
A screenshot of a separate email sent to the Pharmacy Team requesting a prescription for Finn. It cites his last wellness exam from June 19, 2025, noting that under California law, his VCPR remains valid until June 19, 2026. It specifically requests a 6-count NexGard Red Box be called into the 10th St Costco.
It took yearrrrs of chronic illness to master the WERK of self-advocacy. If I have to go full Shirley Fucking MacLaine in the hospital lobby to get Alice her meds, I will.
Label me "difficult" all you want - I'm used to it 😉
