Lucy and I went to a cooking class at my building today. To be courteous, we just stayed in the dining room area and observed. I didn't think people would appreciate potential dog hair in their food if she was in that kitchen. The cooking class is focused on healthy food on a budget. Groups are really hard for me, especially in person. I'm attaching a picture of Lucy at the group today. #ActuallyAutistic #ServiceDog

Hoooooeyyyy that was close!

Old man came inches from grabbing my daughter's 175 lb Great Dane fucking #SERVICEDOG to move him out of the way so he could get to the damn food court.

Daughter: "NO!! He's a service dog"

Stupid old man doesn't even acknowledge that he's being spoken to, smiles like a dumb ass and keeps walking.

She came *THIS CLOSE* to decking him. I'm not even kidding.

Last week, I went to Washington DC for a family vacation. A nice night out with my wife was ruined when an #Uber driver refused my seeing eye dog. We had to argue with the driver, get out, wait ten minutes for another ride, file a report, and speak with a case agent. In the end, Uber only refunded my ride and closed the case without telling me the outcome of my complaint. This is my second #GuideDog denial by Uber drivers. #Discrimination #ADA #Accessibility #Disability #ServiceDog

I was out with my service dog at the mall today, browsing the pet aisle. I gave Lucy a couple "leave its" to remind her not to sniff the treats. Some guy witnessed this and said "Is torture part of the training? ... 🤦‍♀️I was so caught off guard. I ended up just saying, "I don't think it's torture, and she is also getting rewarded with treats from my treat pouch". The guy commented said she's a good dog and walked away. I guess at least he gave us a compliment? #ServiceDog

"Odie knew more than 50 commands, most importantly ‘Visit.' That prompted her to approach a survivor of a crime or a family member to comfort them with her presence—letting them pet her with a hand or foot, placing her face on their lap, or just calmly sitting by their side.

"'Without fail, she would always go to the most stressed person in the room.’”

Wowwww

Savannah (or Suzanna?) at Everett Joann Fabric just yelled at and kicked out a #ServiceDog & it's owner. She *started out* yelling, there wasn't even a calm beginning.

"We're no longer pet -friendly and don't allow dogs!"

"He's a working *Service Dog*."

"I don't care! Get out!!"

#ADA report will be forthcoming.

When your baba climbs a wooden tractor so you have to loudly yell until they help you up too 😂
We’ve been dealing with some major teenage brain lately. It’s been very hard to find the motivation to train as everything feels hard, and just helping him exist in the world is like a full time job right now. Sjiriki is also not feeling great, which doesn’t help either. He’s got some pretty bad growing pains, which are (understandably) making him cranky and easily frustrated, plus he still has the occasional Giardia flare up (though those are thankfully getting less and less intense with each treatment). We’re trying to mostly focus on doing fun low pressure things, and I’m doing training together with my mom to both keep Sjiriki more motivated (he has some major FOMO so if Maya is doing something he wants to also do that thing 😆), and to keep myself from spiraling at the smallest setback. So we’re surviving! But I am already very much ready for this whole teenage phase to be over 😅

ID 1: a teenage Siberian Husky sits on the seating area of a wooden structure shaped like a tractor standing out in the woods. The dog has his mouth open in a relaxed pant, and he looks content to sit there.
ID 2: the same shot taken from further away, showing more of the wooden tractor.

Things have taken a turn for me in both good and bad ways recently. I got accepted into my dream school, but I'm struggling to be able to afford to go. And since being accepted into my dream school and wanting to leave my abusive household, I'm at an even higher risk of homelessness now. Anything helps greatly, even just sharing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :QueerCat_Trans:

Posting a puppy photo to celebrate him being 6 months old today! Time flies by so fast 🥹

ID: a grey and white Siberian husky sits on a brick driveway, looking up at the camera with pricked ears and a tilted head. He’s wearing a harness and a long leash.

Please don't let your children harass service dogs. I had an anxiety provoking experience at the dollar store today, where a toddler followed us for minutes, repeatedly poking my service dog and petting her despite me pulling her away repeatedly and telling the kid we had to go now. Dad was there and did nothing, thought it was funny.

Going to try to prepare a mental script for if something like that happens again, because I was caught off guard and initially froze out of anxiety. #ServiceDog
