"Odie knew more than 50 commands, most importantly ‘Visit.' That prompted her to approach a survivor of a crime or a family member to comfort them with her presence—letting them pet her with a hand or foot, placing her face on their lap, or just calmly sitting by their side.

"'Without fail, she would always go to the most stressed person in the room.’”

Monterey County NOWRIP to Odie, a courthouse service dog who helped hundreds of crime victims.Odie, a service dog in Monterey County, supported over 1,000 crime victims with her comforting presence, leaving a lasting impact.
When your baba climbs a wooden tractor so you have to loudly yell until they help you up too 😂
We’ve been dealing with some major teenage brain lately. It’s been very hard to find the motivation to train as everything feels hard, and just helping him exist in the world is like a full time job right now. Sjiriki is also not feeling great, which doesn’t help either. He’s got some pretty bad growing pains, which are (understandably) making him cranky and easily frustrated, plus he still has the occasional Giardia flare up (though those are thankfully getting less and less intense with each treatment). We’re trying to mostly focus on doing fun low pressure things, and I’m doing training together with my mom to both keep Sjiriki more motivated (he has some major FOMO so if Maya is doing something he wants to also do that thing 😆), and to keep myself from spiraling at the smallest setback. So we’re surviving! But I am already very much ready for this whole teenage phase to be over 😅

ID 1: a teenage Siberian Husky sits on the seating area of a wooden structure shaped like a tractor standing out in the woods. The dog has his mouth open in a relaxed pant, and he looks content to sit there.
ID 2: the same shot taken from further away, showing more of the wooden tractor.

Please don't let your children harass service dogs. I had an anxiety provoking experience at the dollar store today, where a toddler followed us for minutes, repeatedly poking my service dog and petting her despite me pulling her away repeatedly and telling the kid we had to go now. Dad was there and did nothing, thought it was funny.

Going to try to prepare a mental script for if something like that happens again, because I was caught off guard and initially froze out of anxiety. #ServiceDog
