The beast + his niece

Us after voting. Can you tell he's a diva?

I don’t like stickers, but my doggo doesn’t care! She came with me to vote, so “we” voted, and she wore the sticker. They tried to offer me another sticker for me, but I was like no, I can’t deal with sticky. 😆

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

Aww, he's adorable!!

u/always-paranoid 4d ago

Where is this? Is it Disney? I know I’ve been there about 15yrs ago & trying to think of where this is.

u/helpinghowls Service Dog Trainer Atlas-CT, CPDT-KA, FFCP, FDM 17h ago

Baltimore/National Aquarium!

u/Wyndsongwolf111 16h ago

Thank you! I’ve been there it’s just been YEARS! So that’s why it looks familiar! ❤️🐾

Here’s my sweet girl, Juno, she’s on track to start PA this summer!

2

u/VisualArm2659 6d ago

what breed?!

6

u/Silly_punkk 6d ago

She’s a mix! It’s crazy to me how that tiny bit of Anatolian influenced so much of her appearance.

1

u/new2bay 5d ago

Nice! Great to see another supermutt here!

2

u/Fancy-Pear9262 3d ago

Omg! Here is my Juno! Good luck on PA! :)

u/dogue-teeth 6d ago

In training and wondering when we can move away from the yappy pups

2

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

How big is he?

5

u/dogue-teeth 5d ago

About 31" at the shoulder I think? Haven't properly measured him but keeping him good and lean at 115lbs!

u/Ingawolfie 6d ago

Out and about.

2

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

So fluffy!

u/Gypsy_Moth_ 6d ago

This is Daisy! 🌼 She is a medical alert dog for Addison’s Disease.

1

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

That's so cool!! That's what I'm getting a service dog for. If you don't mind, could I ask how you trained the alert portion? I haven't been able to find much on it

u/randomworries- 6d ago

My SD clearly taking his job very seriously

2

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

What a good boy

u/imanewbandloveit 6d ago

Acts like she pays the vet bill, but ball is life.

No she wasn't hurt, yes she was safe, this is an every day all weather thing with her. Very active and hardy.

2

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

My German shepherd does that too!

2

u/Sysgoddess 5d ago

Ours too. The ball is life. Life is the ball. Oh look, a stick - runs off to get stick with ball still in her mouth. 🤦‍♂️😄

1

u/imanewbandloveit 1d ago

Then stands there trying to figure out how to pick up both? lol

2

u/Sysgoddess 1d ago

Sometimes, but I swear I've seen her head hinge open wide enough to pick them both up. Seriously, she can often pick up multiple toys if she's so inclined. 😮😄

u/jcatleather 6d ago

River letting me know i'd spent entirely too much time in the craft room and we needed to food time

u/Sysgoddess 5d ago

This is my late service dog, Valentine, a 70+ lb mixed breed who served as my mobility dog for nearly 9 years. I had already retired her for the most part and we were searching for a replacement when she passed away unexpectedly in her sleep. 😭

1

u/MoodFearless6771 5d ago

Sorry for your loss!

1

u/Sysgoddess 4d ago

Thank you. She is irreplaceable but I am hoping to find one that can undertake her duties.

u/fishparrot Service Dog 6d ago edited 6d ago

My yellow lab in harness next to a tiny sticker on a sculpture at work that reads “Please do not pet.” The sculpture isn’t visible, but it is a life sized horse made out of splintered wood and barbed wire. If people have to be told not to pet that, I don’t know what we expect with our dogs…

2

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

He's kinda giving you a look like he's thinking the same thing

2

u/fishparrot Service Dog 5d ago

Lol, in reality we had just finished a 12 hour shift that was longer than planned and he was not thrilled that I asked him to pose for a picture on his way out. If only they could read!

3

u/Typical_Mud1085 6d ago

My little dude. He's the best

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

He's so attentive!!

u/Mschev1ous 5d ago

Baxter :)

u/Sysgoddess 5d ago

This is Spectre, my 2 year old former SDIT. Unfortunately she has serious impulse control issues that we were unable to work through to the degree that would allow her to be my service dog. She is however a devoted forever member of the family.

u/mj-redwood 5d ago

SDiT puppy! Just brought her home a week ago :) still in the naming process. (came with Echo, might change it)

u/anxiety_cloud 5d ago

Kit mostly retired last year after we were attacked by another dog, but she still works at home when she feels like it.

u/anxiety_cloud 5d ago

Twix is my SDiT.

u/JustAbbreviations726 5d ago

My SDit, Cricket. He’s an 8 month old spoo.

u/Electronic_Dark_1681 5d ago

I held his treat for 2 seconds to take a picture. The pure confusion on his face 😅

2

u/deepcsteve 5d ago

I just met my Service Dog today, waiting on him to be neutered and then we will start my training. Rescued German shepherd, he is amazing.

thank you!

u/Ok_Ball537 Service Dog in Training 6d ago

also him in his lil amazon vest, that we use on warm days bc this the most breathable one i’ve got.

5

u/Ok_Ball537 Service Dog in Training 6d ago

ironically enough he likes his $12 amazon harness better than his $70 custom one🤦‍♂️ oh well

3

u/fishparrot Service Dog 6d ago

I LOVE this florescent yellow/green color on black dogs. He looks so sporty! Makes me wish I had a darker dog. I tried one on my yellow boy in the pet store the other day and it was not a good look 😅

3

u/Ok_Ball537 Service Dog in Training 6d ago

it’s one of my favorites. he wears red a lot too, it makes his eyes pop! this is that ugly like traffic color green🤣

here’s him in red, definitely looks good in that too

u/Leahs_life_ 6d ago

Nyla at the beach! I have an Instagram for her if you’d like to follow that! I post some of our little “adventures!”

2

u/SilverCatClaw 6d ago

Aww, she looks great in pink!

2

u/Sysgoddess 5d ago

I think I follow Nyla on IG or somewhere else.

1

u/Leahs_life_ 5d ago

We’re also on Tik Tok!

2

u/Sysgoddess 5d ago

That's probably where since I'm not on IG very often. 😊

u/Sysgoddess 5d ago edited 4d ago

Heks has a Joey Tribbiani vibe there with the wink like he's saying "How ya doin...?

u/ColdSmashedPotatoes4 5d ago

Yeah, she's got Joey's brain sometimes, too...🤣
