Today is Bear Day.

He didn’t bark, he boofed.
He wore sweaters.
He loved TV, cheese, and staying.

This post is for the dog who taught us that devotion doesn’t have to be loud. 🧡🐾

The Dog Who Stayed

Bear didn’t bark. Not really. His voice was a deep, baritone “boof,” the kind that sounded like it came from somewhere older than sound. He loved cheese, sweaters, and watching TV like it was his j…

🐾 Luna’s Friday Takeover: The Easter Egg Incident

This week, Luna Bean became an egg-opening genius. But more than that… she kept watch through sleepless nights, stubborn bodies, and a season that can’t decide what it wants to be. This is a story …

Knockers in the mines, púcaí on the roads, and Luna, my service dog, chasing chaos. Sometimes the edge between safe and sorry is where life- and magic- lives. 🌿🖤 Read more: https://linktr.ee/skylanarissa

This week’s field report: My service dog figured out how to open Easter eggs by herself… and I’m starting to suspect she might be smarter than me.

…and here’s my #ServiceDog modelling his new bowtie for you! #sewing @sewing

Yes, he badly needs a haircut, but I’ve intentionally let his hair get this long. Asking him to sit through multiple grooming sessions with a torn CCL seems cruel, so I’ve let it grow for now and just trim his bangs as needed. He also won’t be able to stand for long periods for several months after his upcoming TPLO surgery, so I’m going to shave his hair — once — closer to his surgery. #dogs #DogsOfMastodon

Luna Takeover: The Week That Bit Back

This week had too many feelings and not enough snacks. There was loss. There was pain. There were moments that felt too heavy to hold. But there were also small things- finches at the feeder, pizza…

Come sit in the Den a while. This isn’t a performance. There’s no “I’m fine” required at the door. This is a quiet check-in for anyone living in a hard body, a heavy week, or a world that doesn’t a…

My #ServiceDog, using his teddy bear as a pillow for his head while waiting for me to get out of the shower. Normally, he faces the bathroom, but I think he didn’t like the hallway fan blowing in his face today. #dogs #DogsOfMastodon
