I was off leash yesterday for freedom! I ran and rolled in the grass. Breaks from work are awesome! #Dog #GoldenRetriever #Grass

Good early #Morning from dog land. It’s been thundering and raining. I’m not liking the #Thunder. I snuggled up with mom for comfort. Now I’m waiting for the house to wake up, so the routine can start. I’m starving, obviously!

I had a spa day yesterday! I’m all clean and sparkly again. So of course I ran outside and rolled in the grass as soon as we got home. Mom was not impressed with my behavior. Hehehe not sorry at all! #Dog #Grooming #Ruined

I took off after an animal this morning, and disappeared for about 10 mins. Running free was fun! Mom is not happy since I pushed past her and ran. Now I’m in trouble. Worth it! #Morning #Animals #Freedom #Trouble #Dog #ServiceDog

It’s morning! I’ve already gone outside and now I’m hungry. I’m waiting for food. Mom says it’s not time yet. Apparently I have to wait for my brother, Old Man Dozer Pittie boy. I am not a patient dog! I shall stare at her until she feeds me. #Dog #Morning #Waiting #Impatient

There’s so much #Snow outside! I keep running free and not listening to mom. She says I get the long leash if I don’t stop. Snow is amazing!! I shall continue to play, but will come when called. #DogsOfBlueSky #Dog #GoldenRetriever #InnerThoughts

We went to the USS Midway Museum in San Diego. It’s an old steam powered aircraft carrier. I was perfect climbing the stairs, aka ladders in Navy speak. I got to go in planes and helos. It was a blast! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veteran

This past week I was #Working in San Diego, #California. I loved being a Cali Dog! The weather was great, and the grass was green. I rolled around on it a lot. Mom did not let me go swimming. Boo! I had the best view of the ocean and the #SanDiego Naval Base. #Dog tv was very good!

Good morning from San Diego friends! Mom tagged along for her man’s work conference. I’m loving the sunshine and warm weather. Mom wouldn’t let me jump in the water. She said it’s salty and we don’t have a groomer here. Boo mom! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky

We’re back to our normal routine. I’m working at the gym and the grocery store. Mom doesn’t like leaving the house. Without me her agoraphobia would keep her in her safe space. With me she can venture out! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever

Hello friends and good morning! It’s been snowing and doing winter things. I haven’t been working much, since we’ve been home. I have discovered squirrels 🐿️ in the backyard. I want to chase them. Mom says no. Lame! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever

I got to see my foster momma and family after we passed recertification. I was fostered for the first year of my life to learn how to be a family dog. This is my first momma. She’s a veteran as well. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

We flew to Portland and drove up to Washington to recertify as a service dog team. This is how I fly. We get a bulkhead seat, and I squish in at mom’s feet. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Flying

On Saturday’s we go to Patriot’s Garage. A nonprofit veteran outreach program. There a huge field. I get to run around like the dog I am. Mom takes off my vest and lets me go. I may need another bath. 🐾 #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #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. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever

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! #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever

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 #Dogs #ServiceDog

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. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans
