@Totalanimefan: my mother in law took us out to dinner one night and my mom took me to lunch on another. Then he's come out for errands. I'm trying to get out more, my psychiatrist and therapist say it'll be good for me. Usually I just don't leave home very often.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, I have a specific spot I feel safe walking Everest alone and I don't really venture too far out from there. Before I had him I never left my house.

@koneko: Yeah it was really hard training him, it took two years and we had some help with basics from trainers.
That's a big change, that's amazing. That's more than me, I hope to get there. <3

@Totalanimefan: he helps me go out places. I have trouble talking to people but when he's there it's so much easier, it's like a buffer.
And he reminds me to take my meds, helps me when I have panic attacks, helps me when I dissociate. He does really well on all of his tasks.


@MoodyBats: he's a good boy. <3
He likes that we're going out more. It's good for me to get out more.

@Totalanimefan: When I go places I usually have another person with me, because I don't drive. So today my mother in law took me to get a smoothie, I ordered my smoothie with no issue.

@koneko: We did basic training at PetSmart, like obedience, then we hired a trainer that helped teach us how to train him.

Thank you for believing in me. <3 I hope to get where you are.
Yeah, that's one thing we had someone help with. When he notices it he helps me by coming up to me, rubbing against me, sniffing my nose, and making a small bark sound. It's like the five senses thing, grounding, it helps bring me back.

@Totalanimefan: if you had been here she probably would have bought you one haha.

@Totalanimefan: I got it at Tropical Smoothie Café, I don't know if you have one of those near you.

@Peachy: That's amazing, I'd love to watch all those puppers walking through. <3
I do always feel bad saying no. But I have to say no.
