Comfort dogs

This was my comfort dog when I was diagnosed. I miss him a lot.

Loverof...I am now the mom of a young spunky poodle. I will take those hugs because he has been with a trainer for 3 weeks learning to pick up items if I cannot reach them. Fortunately, the trainers have unending patience in getting him to hold all kinds of items long enough for true retrieval. I really thought he would learn that quickly because he loves to retrieve toys and balls. What is taking longer than I anticipated is that he needs to retrieve and hold the items every time. Seems he has a high play drive and is working on a stronger work ethic!!! Service dog training requires exceptional patience, perseverance and compassion for the animal being trained as s/he works to grasp the desired behavior. Then as with any teacher student relationship there is great joy when that light bulb goes on and s/he gets it. Obviously, I miss him greatly and will have a happy dance when he comes home.

This is him as a very young puppy

beautiful red spoo!!!!!😍😍.

They were developed to be water retrievers.

Can I have that one mom???😍😍

Hi ladies, enjoy your dogs. I am hoping to be a fur mommy again. Put my name on the list of the akc chihaha breeder. Shr says maybe later this month she will have a litter. Looking forward to lots cuddles! Tried to rescue, but didn't work out, just heartbroken over the dog we had to give back - was terrorizing us a little, bit all of us, poor thing lived on the streets and had to fend for herself.

My first dog was my baby, five pounds of pure love, blue akc chihuahua, cuddly, quiet and proud. Definitely had a connection. we had good 12 years and then she got gravely ill suddenly without warning and after I was so sad about her passing I found the cancer, couple of weeks later I was diagnosed.

Now that I have a new lease on life, I hope it's time for a dog, again.

Beautiful horse. My movie guess: Black Beauty?
