Things people say to service dog handlers that sound completely reasonable… until you think about them. 😂 Here’s the thing: most of these comments aren’t coming from a bad place, but they can still put handlers in the awkward position of explaining something they shouldn’t have to explain or jus

Not my usual content, but I wanted to share for all my CVS and hEDS girlies that may be struggling with their dental health. I had a consult back in June where we talked about all of my health conditions and what those conditions mean for my oral health. In addition to getting me on the schedule

Did you know tribal sovereignty can make ADA protections more complicated for service dog handlers? I’ve been bringing my service dogs to Cherokee, North Carolina for years without ever having an access issue. However, while I was there yesterday, I randomly wondered: Do I actually have the sam

I didn’t realize how much Sebastian was doing for me until suddenly, he wasn’t. I pulled Sebastian from working earlier than expected, and for a while I convinced myself that meant I should be fine without another service dog. I kept telling myself I was better and didn’t need the help, even whi

I spent a long time thinking I had to wait for life to get easier before I could really start living it again. Here’s what actually happened: My world got smaller for a while. I had to think about what my body could handle, what was worth the aftermath, and whether an adventure was even realist

This is one of my favorite things to watch between Sebastian and Nalu because it’s a perfect example of why understanding dog body language matters. Sebastian is really good at meeting Nalu where she is. He matches her energy, plays with her, and gives her space to be a ridiculous young Australi

SuperZoo 2026 is officially over… which means all the dog creators are already thinking about Global Pet Expo 2027.🤣 If you're planning to head to Orlando for Global, add this one to your list of places to stay. We stayed at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa in June and absolutely loved it. It's do

I saw an ad recently about Australian Shepherd coat maintenance, and I have to say… If you’re shaving your double-coated Australian Shepherd every summer, I’m probably not taking your coat maintenance advice.😬 This isn’t about keeping an Aussie looking fluffy for the sake of aesthetics. Their co

There is a VERY big difference between being inspired by someone’s content and recreating their content. See something you like? Take the concept. Put your own spin on it. Tell your own story. Make it yours. When you take someone’s exact concept, recreate the same scenario, and essentially ma

The right people make the hard seasons feel a little lighter. I met Ivey through service dog social media, and somehow a shared corner of the internet turned into one of my closest friendships. She’s a former service dog trainer and puppy raiser, so when she offered to take Nalu out for the day

As someone whose life revolves around adventures with my dogs, from beach days to training sessions, keeping them healthy is always a priority. I recently took Nalu to @Chewy Vet Care in Jacksonville, and it completely changed my perspective on what a veterinary visit can look like. I'd heard p

A little ASMR look at what a morning with two herding breeds, one retired service dog, one working service dog, and chronic illness actually looks like when you live in a beach town. Ever since I brought Nalu home, I’ve gotten so many questions about what our day-to-day life looks like with two

He really didn’t want the dogs, but understood how a service dog could help me. And now? They follow him everywhere, wait for him at the door, steal his side of the bed, and somehow have him wrapped completely around their paws. 😂 I love watching the relationship they’ve built because sometim

Finally getting my July 2026 Product Empties up! This one kept recording and deleting so this is take number like 5 or 6. This month was really fun because we had a lot of our staples like our @Open Farm Pet food and treats, @Tucker's Raw booost cubes and raw food, @Pupsicle bully sticks, etc.

Feed my 5 year old shepsky and 1 year old Aussie with me, ASMR addition. There’s a lot of discourse online rn about what to feed your dog with the current formula changes happening across the board. I’ve had so many conversations today that I thought I would break down what each of my dogs get a

She saved my life… Now I’m learning how to live after it. Nalu’s alerts have quite literally saved my life over the past month, and after being closer to death than I’ve ever been this past weekend, I’m more grateful for her than I could ever put into words. But I’d be lying if I said I came

What’s in my 5 year old German shepherd husky’s breakfast bowl? - Lamb Ancient Grains from @Open Farm Pet (use code SEBASTIAN) - Allergy Support from @pawTree (Use code SaltySheps) ! He has had bad allergies since before we got him. Before finding this supplement he had to have 2 Cytopoint Inje

Some days, the best thing you can do is absolutely nothing. After a long night in the ER, Sunday looked a little different than our usual day to day. A lot of times when we think about emergency room visits, we think about how tired we are as humans, but it’s also a lot for your dogs and servic

Last night was one of the scariest nights of my life. I’ve been dealing with reactive airway issues secondary to MCAS for the past month, but yesterday my symptoms escalated in a way I wasn’t prepared for. Nalu started alerting me in the morning and continued checking on me throughout the day
