Service Dog training

After losing my CoCo 🐶 about 7 weeks ago, I’m feeling lost and I’m losing willpower. I can I understand why people need a canine #companion . She was not officially a #TherapyDog although I’d trained her both on- and #off -leash as well as #agilitytraining . We were so connected and I had no idea how close till she was no longer. She knew my moods, she balanced out my attitudes and we went almost everywhere together.

CoCo was a #JackRussell mix, kinda a little too hyper and energetic for a therapy dog, but smart as a whip! What types of dogs have you all trained before, and for what type of service?

What would I ever do??? & where would I ever be???? without a cat!!! I've lived alone mostly all my adult #Life . I KNOW I'd be #hospitalized a lot more & would suffer extreme #Loneliness if I didn't.....i have a few hermit crabs too; but they are in an aquarium & can't walk up to me & rub their little heads against my knee as I sit on the couch watching a movie &/or listening to my playlists 🎶 I'd be much more #stressed & #depressed without my little Gracie- Wasie! She's truly a big #blessing for which I am so very #grateful 🐱!!!!

Please put a topping on! #maincoon #Cat #companion


#DistractMe my cat was ever patient, and looked at me constantly for guidance and feedback. Most pictures I have feature him looking at me. Cross species and love, definitely. We adored each other.

A Death Meant to Be #companion #Dogs

I lost my dog recently. He lives with my grandparents and when we were on vacation, my father got the call. He didn't tell me though until after we reached home again and I tried so hard to keep it together. My dog was in pain at eleven years old. He'd been having a hard time walking and eating. I'm going to miss him so so so so much and I loved him. I hope he's better where he is. He served as a wonderful family member and companion. I played with him every morning that I was at my grandparents' home. I want to believe that he's in no more pain.
I think he's another reason I won't kill myself like i've contemplated many times. I also want to believe that he died at the right time. He was loved, he won't be forgotten, and he had some people who loved him dearly. I think I don't want to die letting others down and hurting others more than a natural death could ever cause. He is another inspiration of mine now.
