I’m Willow. I’m a service dog for my US Navy veteran @everrouge.bsky.social. I’m 3 years old, and love my job. I was gifted by #NorthwestBattleBuddies in Battle Ground, WA. Enjoy our adventures and my silly antics. #dogs #workingdog #servicedog #goldenretriever #veterans

Mom was sick earlier this week. I snuggled up with her, and made her feel better.

Mom’s back to full capacity. We go to the gym on weekday mornings. That’s pretty much my job these days. Protect mom at the gym.

Working at the gym in Yoga. Mom feels comfortable enough to close her eyes and breathe with me close.

She watches me, while I watch the room.

Service dog #Etiquette:

Always ask our handlers to pet or address us. Our jobs usually require us to not be distracted. I am not allowed to be petted or have kissy noises made at me. I’m #WORKING! Please let me do my job!

Good morning friends! Mom has been going to the gym every weekday. People always want to pet me. I have patches on my vest that say stop no petting. Working dog Do Not Pet. Well a lady snuck pets while mom wasn’t looking. That’s against my training. So not pet a #WorkingDog

I’m standing in the rain staring at mom, not going potty. Then I run off just to be silly. I’m a normal dog when my best is off. 😈 🐾

Good morning friends! It’s Saturday. That means I get to work at the garage. We may go back to the pumpkin patch. Mom’s man’s son, 7, needs a pumpkin.

Mom woke up in the middle of the night. She has nightmares. I use my body to apply pressure, which helps calm her down.

I got to work a lot yesterday! I’m still exhausted. I’m lying by mom not wanting to move!

We went to a Grilled Cheese festival. Mom is a #Vegetarian and loves grilled cheese.

I’m loving being a country dog! I get to run around the yard multiple times a day. We frequent the gym and the grocery store. There’s not a ton of working opportunities, but that’s okay. I enjoy being a dog.

I got to work at the fair yesterday. Mom lasted a couple hours. She had a panic attack, so went back to the car.

I comforted mom in the car, and got her to calm down

I’m loving Michigan! We have a yard I can run in. Apartment living was not for me.

From city dog to country dog. I’m fitting in great!

Good morning friends! Mom has coffee and I’m waiting for her to be done so she feeds me. I’m obviously starved.

We went to Costco yesterday. Mom got Bully Sticks. I ate it all! It only took 4 hours to chew it up.

We made it to Wyoming. I met some fish in Idaho and have been relaxing in the backseat. I’m a good traveler.

I’m a car dog for the next few days. Mom set up a hammock and my bed in the backseat. It’s pretty comfy. I’m ready to get back on the road. The humans are still in bed.

We went to my Great Grandparents’s today. I was not allowed in the pond. I got groomed yesterday, so mom said no.
