    I am a Service Dog! I did my very best smoosh and the people who sat in the seats next to Mom and me are being very loud and rude about me being here. This has never happened before ever! I don’t know why they are so upset! I promise I am smooshed best I can in my own space!

    I like sciencing! I wear the same PPE mom wears. Sometimes we don’t have to wear goggles. Those are days we are writing reports. I still help her everyday though. #servicedog in #science #neuroscience #research #laboratory #molecular #cellular #biology

    When we were seated on the plane I gave Mom an alert. She thanked me. On the 4-hr flight I made sure Mom was ok. Every second. Every. Single. Second. Exiting the plane, several people said they didn’t know I was there. As it should be. I am a Service Dog. #Friday #Travel #dog

    Hi frens. I still am not feeling very good. Getting lots of extra love from Mom and Marshal Jim. If I’m not feeling better by tomorrow Mom is taking me back to see my veterinarian fren. Paws crossed please.

    Thank you frens! Mom and I both fell a-snoozle and ignored the grumpy people. We are safely back in Arizona! The grumpy people even said I was the bestest boi and they forgot I was there. Maybe they learned that a Service Doggo is the Best! Flight! Companion! Ever!

    1) Made it through TSA but not without one agent making Mom cry. We entered the Special Needs line next to PreCheck. Mom has Global Entry so she doesn’t have to bend over and remove her shoes. The agent told Mom she wasn’t in the preCheck line - when she hesitated he stood up ,

    I am a Service #Dog! I'm trained to remove Mom's socks so she doesn't have to bend over. I can also remove shoes, help her out of a jacket by gently pulling each sleeve so she can get her arms out. I can unzip zippers. These are important life tasks that help Mom stay independent

    My frens, Mom is taking me to see my veterinarian fren today. Something is wrong and I hurt. Mom and Marshal Jim have been sitting with me because I cry out when I move, they don’t know what is wrong or why I hurt. There are some large lumps that developed on my side and back
