🐾 A Day in the Life of a Service Dog (When Mama Leaves Me Behind)

Hi frens, it’s me, Luna-Moth! 🐶💛
Normally, Fridays are our worky days together- me and Mama go places, help her with her medical stuff, and I get to wear my sunflower vest and be a Very Official Girl. But not every day is a service doggy day, and today… was one of those days. 😞

Mama had to go see one of her hooman doctors again- the rheumatologist, I think? She says the office people love me, and I know the blood-sucker man (she calls him the vampire? I think that’s a nickname??) always gives me scritches and says I’m brave. (With permission of course.) I would have loved to go. But the sun was being a big ol’ meanie today. 🥵 Ninety degrees?! No thank you. That’s hot enough to cook a pupper!

Mama says that even with my special gear, my cooling collar, and my Yeti water bottle, it’s just not worth the risk. She says she drives a big black Jeep with the world’s worst seats for service dogs. I say that sounds dramatic until I try to sit on them- then I understand. No cooked butt floofs please.

So today, I stayed home.
But don’t worry- I still had so many important things to do! 🐾✨

Here’s what a hard-working girl like me gets up to when she’s “off-duty” (whatever that means):

• Gave my purple monster toy a proper chewing. (He had it coming.)
• Took a nap in the sun on the deck like a baked potato. 10/10. Would recommend.
• Snuggled the Yard Yeti (he gives the best belly rubs.)
• Helped Bear bark at the boats, the trucks, and the neighborhood Karens. We are excellent security staff.
• Missed Mamas. But just a little. (Okay a lot.)
• Got zoomie-ready for when she came home!!

When the humans finally returned (I counted, it was like… 87 years), I wagged my tail so fast I nearly took off. Bear and I gave the full welcome committee treatment: smiles, tail waggies, happy tappies, the works. 💖

Then it was outside for gardening, veggie patrol, and weed inspections! Mama says I’m not allowed to help dig holes but… she didn’t say anything about dramatic flops in the yard. 😇

Anyway. Just because I didn’t go to work today doesn’t mean I wasn’t still the best girl. (Mama said so. Twice.) And I’ll be back in vest in no time. Until then? I’ll be napping with one ear open and my purple monster under my paw. 🐾

Love you mean it,
Luna 🐾✨
