I fell off of the #MarchMeettheMaker2021 and this is a bit of the reason why. So I wanted to take one of the last days of the month to do another meet the maker post. Some of you know me and already know who this handsome man is. For those who don't, meet Nox. Nox is a almost 2 year old black lab (his birthday is a week from Monday) and he is my service dog. Nox just graduated from training a week and a half ago and was gone for 4 months where he underwent his final service dog training. I've owned Nox since 8 weeks old and waited for a year and a half to be born. It takes roughly 2 years to fully train a service dog and he is task trained to motigate my disability. I suffer from PTSD, anxiety and depression that greatly affect my ability to function on a daily basis. He is trained to respond to my panic attacks, provide a buffer between people and me, turn on and off lights, guide me to an exit, follow a designated person, panic interruption and more. This amazing dog is helping me regain my independence and get my life back. For 7 years I have struggled and though I am doing better I am thankful to have such an amazing partner to help me to continue to heal and take on the world together. He will occasionally make an appearance on here, but he does have his own account @servicedognox if you wish to follow him. #servicedog #ptsdservicedog #ptsd #depression #anxiety #panicattacks #flashbacks #tasktrained #disabledartist #mentalhealthadvocate #rexspecs #yupcollars #polymerclayartist #smallbusinessowner #disabledbusinessowner #blacklab #labradorretriever #kentfieldslightinthedarkness #kentfieldkennels #dogsofinstagram #lifesaver #pawtners #mentalhealthawareness #servicedoghandler (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5YMbRhOUQ/?igshid=1id56wlu0w0ut
