I love the dog on the right that had such long strides they could just start at a trot while everyone else is scrambling to RUN

Just wanted to share this lovely post I found on Facebook. Think people. Think of who you’re really hurting.

I saw this a lot working in retail and it makes me so angry. What kind of person does that?

Also, a reminder that therapy dogs and ESAs are NOT covered by the ADA. I’ve been a therapy dog handler and have my own ESAs. Both provide important emotional services but aren’t trained to do a specific job or task related to their handler’s disability.

Today I started teaching Fawkes how to free stack. He’s not very good at it yet because he’s literally only had 2 5 minute training sessions so far but he’s eager to learn and so am I! Many thanks to Katie (Sega’s owner) for showing me the ropes and handling Fawkes so I could attempt to take photos. :D

Forgot to show off Sadies new head halti! I love this one so much more and so does Sadie the other wasn’t working for her, but she loves this one with no fuss. I prefer the color myself, it’s not too tight or too loose; I think what i prefer is the side bracketing on the halti prevents it from slipping around her nose at all.

dogs are so amazing, we aren’t worthy of them

Gansevoort, Border Collie (4 y/o), Madison Square Park, New York, NY • “He does frisbee for an hour or two twice a day. It truly gives him life. He loves this shit.”

These Borzoi were giving children rides to an accordian playing Santa surrounded by Scotties at the dog show and that pretty much redeemed 2016 for me.
