Hear me out: Eddie bringing Joan on the walks as his emotional disservice cat. Or Joan walking Ozzy. Isthisanything

Oh my god, Eddie insists that Joan comes too.

He bought her a harness and a leash. He even got her little tennis shoes that he puts on her and she immediately fell over and started whining. Steve points out that Joan is an indoor cat. She’s never even been outside. Eddie says that if I’m suffering than every able-bodied man, woman, and pet in this house is suffering on this walk with me.

And they do suffer.

Joan lives up to her title as a disservice cat every step of the way.

The first thing she does is fall off the side of the porch into a bush and get tangled up. It’s down hill from there. She gets the leash wrapped around a mailbox. She sees a bird and nearly chokes herself out trying to go after it.

She keeps crisscrossing underneath Ozzy and getting their leashes tangled up. She hisses at a child. She lays down on the ground and refuses to move. They are only two blocks from their house.

Ozzy gets so fed up that he picks Joan up by her scruff and carries her back to the house. He does not bring Eddie his leash the next day. Joan doesn’t leave Steve’s lap for the entire week.

Im not "lucky" to have a service dog

Having a dog that is well behaved enough to be in public spaces is not luck. It is commitment to training and learning animal behaviors. Being legally eligible to have a service dog you must be disabled. Not just anyone who wants to take their dog into public can slap a service dog vest on their dog, this is breaking federal law and harms the rep of real service dog teams. Having a service dog is not at all luck, when people start to consider service dogs as a treatment/management plan they will do so much research to make sure they are getting the right kind of dog for them and their needs. We do not pick service dogs as a treatment because we are asking for attention. I have been told multiple times that I dont need her because i can and do function without her a lot of the time. Me not having her with me 24/7. I do care about making sure the dog wants to work as a service dog. A service dog is task trained to mitigate a disability, not a pet that emotionally supports you cause you have ✨anxiety✨. I could go onto a whole rant about how people are really just wanting attention and trying to romanticize anxiety.

We conquered my biggest fear today: antique shopping! I have never been in this store because I am terrified of breaking something.

There are SO many things! Everything is not only extremely expensive but also incredibly fragile! They have everything from China sets to original rocking horses with paintings stacked to the ceiling in a labyrinth through the store. I was genuinely impressed with how well they fit so many items in this space. The path was so narrow that at times, I had Hek walk behind me so we could fit!

We made it! I am so proud of our Not Touching Things abilities!

facebook keeps recommending this page called the "Maine Wolf Coalition" to me and like...it is WILLFUL ignorance that keeps these people calling some of the animals they capture on trail cameras as "possible wolves" or "suspected wolves" or "unknown canines".

like 99% of the animals they post are eastern coyotes to a tee.

Now we need something where they're all gathered together for a we survived party or something and its a bad day for Tara and she tries to hide it by kinda avoiding everyone. When Sam corners her and asks if she's okay Tara plays it off. Sam lets it slide cause she's trying not to be so overbearing. So Sidney decides to try cause she knows its a lie. Then Tara says something along the lines of 'but you're Sam's support system' to her so Sidney drags her to Gale and Kirby.

Tara's been quiet and tired a lot these days. Sam's worried, but she's trying not to be overbearing and she knows how exhausting therapy can be, so she tries to quietly support her sister in whatever way she can. Without constantly digging for more information. She's constantly on the lookout for that sigh and the look Tara gets when she's getting frustrated. She's been getting the others involved in Operation cheer-up-Tara, but she always manages to slip out of their plans, or to escape them entirely. Sam's beginning to think that she just doesn't want to spend time with her specifically... except she's usually fine when it's the two of them. Even Gale's patented snark flies over Tara's head these days, and that's what really makes Sam think something might be seriously wrong. Sniping with Gale quickly became one of Sam's favourite activities, and she knows her sister loves it too. So to pass that up... Sam's worried.

Sidney's having a weekend get-together, she's invited everyone, even Danny. Danny, however, can't make it, stuck with a work commitment he can't get out of. And the twins aren't even in the country, off with their mom visiting distant relatives up in Canada. Sam's hoping the weekend will be good for Tara, being around their sort-of-family, and she's looking forward to seeing Sidney again. Even if she's disappointed the twins, Martha, and Danny can't make it.

Sidney's dog, Riley, latches onto Tara pretty much the moment they sit down, and just doesn't leave her alone. If Sidney didn't already know something was up with Tara from her conversations with Sam, this would have given it away. Riley lays their head in Tara's lap, and nudges her occasionally. Whenever she gets up, Riley follows, staying behind her and yipping every time someone comes near.

"Does your dog like children", Sam jokes, watching her sister smile, relaxed for once, as she pets the dog nuzzling into her lap. "Yes," Sidney replies, "Riley likes kids. But he's not playing right now, he's working." Seeing Sam's visible confusion, Sidney continues. "He's a service dog, trained for helping those with PTSD." Sam's eyes widen as understanding kicks in, a frown forming as sadness kicks in. "He's very sensitive to moods," Sidney says, patting Sam on the arm, "sometimes he knows before I do when I'm feeling bad."

"I don't know how to help her," Sam confesses, "she won't talk to me... or anyone. She's in therapy, but I don't know whether it's helping her or making it worse." Sam tells her that everyone has tried to get her to open up, to no avail. Sidney says she hasn't tried yet, she'll give it a shot at some point over the weekend.

Sidney gets a chance sooner than she thought. Later that evening, Tara retires to the spare room provided for her and Sam early, Riley on her heels. She watches her stall in the doorway, unsure whether she's allowed to take the dog with her, before Mark gives her a nudge and lets her know it's ok.

Sidney gives her 15 minutes before she leaves the others watching the movie, and follows after her. Tara takes a minute to respond to her knock on the door, but when she enters, she can see why. Tara's been crying and Riley's on the bed, clearly providing comfort. She pushes for Tara to talk, "we're all worried for you," she says. That seems to break something in the girl, because she starts crying again and apologising. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make anyone worry, it's fine, I'm fine, really-" Sidney takes her into her arms and hushes her as if she were her own.

She tells her her own story, of how she dealt - or didn't deal - with what happened, how she hid away from the world, alone. By the time Sidney's finished, Tara reveals her own secrets. Sidney's heart breaks as Tara explains she didn't want to take away focus from Sam, that she knows how much Sam has sacrificed for her and she didn't want them all to be just another thing she took from her. Sidney reassures her, reminds her that no one is taking anyone from anything, that they're all family and we're all here for each other, that it would hurt Sam deeply to know that Tara is hurting herself for her sake.

"Please don't tell Sam." "You know I can't do that kiddo."

Tara spends the rest of the weekend bounced around between Sidney, Mark, Gale, and Kirby. Sam gets her own session with Riley as being kept from her sister makes her anxious. The four of them don't explain to Sam what's happening, trusting that Tara will do so herself once they get back to New York. And she does. Sam holds her tight and makes her promise to never hide anything from her ever again, no matter how much you think it will hurt me.

my new rule I’m enacting for all customers is that they need to bring a cute dog in with them. it’s a prerequisite for coming in the door if you don’t have your dog with you I don’t want to hear it. not interested. thanks

[mandana-the-service-pup]

Mandana did well in class. She was the calmest one there so they put us between the two troublemakers. We were all spaced out pretty well and they had movable dividers to keep everyone separated but she still had dogs hard staring, barking and even growling directly at her and all she did was look at them and then back at me. I had to opt out of the trainers lesson several times but I stuck to my plan and I’m really happy with the results. I want to go back for Wednesdays class if I can make it.

I used all my treats in class so we stopped at the treat store down the road. We were the only ones there so I put Mandana on her harness and let her sniff around for as long as she wanted. She fell in love with some fresh peanut butter cookies so I got a few and we headed to the park.

We had a really nice decompression walk and I got to practice my new longline skills. We both did really well with our new training method and I feel like we made a lot of progress. After that we walked around the outside of the dog park and when it was pretty empty I took her inside for a minute (still on her longline) to sniff where the dogs had been playing. I want her to be able to play with dogs but I need her to be reliably calm and respectful around them first.

We ate lunch in the parking lot and then headed home. We met up with Hubbins after work and now she’s having her regularly scheduled crate rest.

I was looking up Orthus because I own a greyhound and was delighted at his mention in Battle of The Labyrinth, only to discover he is Cerberus' brother!

Now I can't unsee the image of Nico walking Cerberus, Orthus and Mrs O'Leary like this but chaotic:

Rip Thomas Chabot, he's not dead, his dog is just going to be disgusting for the foreseeable future

[notsociallyacceptablealex]

I think if I hear a dog barking and I go outside and I don't see a bear or a wolf or mountain lion that I should be able to shoot that dog.

This was the only evidence I remembered to collect of our Farmer's Market adventure
