When Your Dog Asks For A New Hairstyle

I will always look up just to see how beautiful the full moon is, even if it hurts my neck, even if I couldn’t find any reason to. May you always find beauty behind something. May your heart rises up even if it falls time and time again.

Today is my birthday. Toby is less-than-enthused about his role in the festivities

Sorry about the billion gifs, I just wanted to show what a class typically looks like when raising a service dog! Raising and training a service dog is about SO MUCH MORE than teaching cues and bringing them places. It’s also about confidence and focus and eagerness to try new things.

The animatronic horse shown above startled both of us and its movements and noises scared VSEPR a little bit- he even barked, and he never barks- but with patience and encouragement he was eager to explore it and eventually even ignore it while working on other things.

…addicted to sunshine.

How do you respond to a golden retriever who really loves you and lacks a concept of personal space? Unending love.

VSEPR in class today (also he has this pouty face when he’s focused sometimes, enjoy). He did a great job and settled in quickly and managed crowds and distractions like a pro, for which I was incredibly proud and grateful.

Also: new backpack finally came, it’s a wee bit big but he’ll grow into it!
