Today Aries bravely faced some of life’s greatest challenges…😂
A Mexican restaurant full of food, smells, people, and the mysterious incoming call from Tequila.
Two GIANT packages of toilet paper and paper towels being awkwardly carried through Target by his handler (me).
A reactive pet dog who apparently missed the memo about minding their own business and should NOT have been in Target.
Aries’ response?
“Not my circus. Not my burrito.”
He maintained a beautiful heel, followed every command, settled quietly in the restaurant, ignored distractions, and acted like a finished service dog the entire time. Meanwhile, I was waddling through Target carrying enough paper products to survive a natural disaster..😂
At one point, Aries could have:
-Pulled me over
-Dragged me to the snack aisle
-Started a conversation with the reactive dog
-Embarrassed me in public
Instead he chose:
✅ Manners
✅ Focus
✅ Stability
✅ Being the goodest boy ever!!!
Service dogs aren’t measured by the days when nothing happens. They’re measured by the days when everything happens and they still make it look easy. 🫶🏼
Needless to say, I am ridiculously proud of this boy. Not even a week working together!
