Bio:I am a beautiful barvarian bombshell of a girl, with the lusterous black and mahogany hair. I won't lie, I'm a BIG girl, but I have pretty brown eyes that will win you over. At almost 7 years old, you may think I'm pretty young, but I am already getting a little grey in places! That would be because I am a Rottweiler, and this is the blog of my life as a Service Dog... I count the days since my life has changed, when I arrived at my new home, where I am a working girl for Dad, and a pet for Pa. I work VERY hard, and I know all SORTS of commands and tasks to help my Dad get along in life. He has trouble with a lot of very intimate aspects of his health, and I am here to make him able to do things like go shopping or out to a movie without having to risk an emergency that would put him back in the hospital. I'm Dad's second Service Dog- his first is 'dead dawg' who died very suddenly, and whom he speaks very highly of. I live to WORK! I love my job like you can't imagine!! Sometimes, people say that it is bad that dogs are 'used' as working animals for people with disabilities, but I can't see how I am suffering- I get to go EVERYWHERE with my Dad! How many other dogs get to go /everywhere/? Even into the store, or a restraunt, or a movie... I love movies. I really WATCH them! I enjoy the whole experience of working for Dad, even when he is feeling horrible, and I have to act in an emergency! I feel so proud when it's over, I strut around and wag my stumpy tail and I DANCE for joy! My life is very good, and I hope you enjoy reading about it in my very own perspective. Dad types it all in for me of course, and I hope my readers realize that this is, essentially, a work of creative viewpoints. The events are real, the people are real, and *I* am real! ...but a dog can't really TYPE a BLOG... so Dad blogs for me, from the viewpoint he imagines I must have, based on the behaviors and attitudes he sees and records here. (For instance, if he says, "I was so mad, I pouted all day!" You can know that I pouted as if I were mad. It would be pretty amazing if I COULD type that, but I'm not quite THAT amazing!) Dad hopes that you enjoy his way of recording my life here, and if you have comments, feel free to make them as much to him and my family as to me. I love feedback!
