Sending Love to

My parents and brother for caring for him when I’m unable or in the hospital

This is my story:

It is fate that Blaine and I are together. I did not get Blaine in a conventional way. I posted on a service dog support page asking how people picked their dog breed and a woman reached out to me about it. Turned out that she was a breeder about 3 hours from me and she had a potential service dog she wanted me to meet. Total coincidence. So, we went to meet him, and I knew right away that it was a perfect match! He alerted to my fainting that first day that he met me. We brought him home the next week. Turns out he also alerted to my seizures and low blood sugars. He has actually alerted to complete strangers too. He is an incredibly talented boy. He was also the perfect size to be a mobility support dog for me, which is what I was looking for initially. He has been with me ever since. Through college courses and ICU stays, he’s done it all. I can only believe it is fate that I found him. He truly is my guardian angel, and I am forever grateful.

Let’s play 20 questions:

I know I get a treat when I:

Do puppy pushups

My favorite toy is:

Whatever my sister wants, I want it first.

My favorite food is:

Peanuts

I’m really proud of these special skills:

I know my human needs me when:

She’s home alone or leaves the house

When I want attention, I:

Come and grunt until someone plays with me or scratches my butt

My sleeping space is:

Crate (personal preference)

My favorite thing to do is:

Run in the field

The hardest thing about my job is:

Staying in tune with my owner when there are so many other people I could also potentially need to alert to

I get so excited when:

I play with my owner’s brother

My human laughs hysterically when I:

Pee holding my front leg up instead of my back

My human would describe my personality as:

Beyond relaxed, but also very alert when I’m needed

The most adorable thing about me is:

My crooked ear

The most human-like thing that I do is:

Give a stink eye

I can’t stand it when my human:

Tickles my feet

The funniest/craziest thing I ever did is:

Go to a tree line to pee and lift the opposite leg away from the tree line

My biggest quirk is:

Peeing in the tall field grass and pooping in the short mowed grass

If I could talk, I would tell my human:

to stop putting hats on me
