My Day Job

I recently asked my humans how long it’s been since we posted and they couldn’t remember, which means it’s been WAY too long!

It’s been a while since I’ve gone to work, making me realize that I haven’t told you about “work”. Many of you may be familiar with ESA animals (aka emotional support animals). That may be a whole other post. Anyway, I have been working towards being a therapy dog in addition to my girl human’s ESA dog.

Fast forward to me in an unlikely place…a dental office. This is where my grandpaw and man human have asked me to come and help patients with them on the reg. I kinda thought humans were supposed to “bring home the bacon”, but it appears I’m much better at it than them. #obvi.  

I am very good at sitting with frightened children. I show them how I brush my teeth, and let the dentist look at them too! 


My Office Chair
Many patients have started requesting my attendance during their appointments. (I'm not suprised.) 



I typically sit in Grandpaw’s office until I’m needed. I’m not gonna lie, It’s not a bad gig.





Where would you like a therapy dog present in your life, doctor, dentist, etc.…? Let us know!

Puppy Connections

Hi everyone it’s me Gracie. Today’s topic is all about canine companions and compatibility. Not with humans, which is great because if I’m being honest they want way too much companionship from me. Don’t even get me started on how much they have to bribe me with food to sit on the same couch as them. It’s truly pathetic.

No, today we’re doing something a little different.

We noticed a trend on Instagram a few years ago as we started becoming friends with a lot of Bichon and Wheaten Terrier accounts. Many times there were families with a Bichon and Wheaten together, just like us! We’ve noticed more and more, not just with our breeds, that there’s definitely a trend with people having a certain “pairing” of breeds if you will.

Well, We’ve been in contact with a website PuppySpot and they’ve developed an infographic showing certain breeds that have a particular ease of getting along together. I guess this is called being friends. 


Since it’s February and we have Valentine’s day on the 14th and more importantly celebration National Love Your Pet Day on the 20th they were inspired to make puppy matches. 

Apparently the PuppySpot finds it super adorable when puppies have friends. We agree and thought this was super fun (okay that is clearly the human talking).

I; however, was not surprised by the lack of Bichon listed. I should obviously be an only child.

I admit dogs with friends do seem kinda cool. In fact, occasionally I’ll wander over to my neighbor, Monkey’s, house and see if he wants to play.
(Human note, Gracie runs away whenever she can and tries to hide as a stowaway at Monkey’s house.)

Anyway, if you’re thinking of adopting another companion or finding a new canine friend consider the info above when making your match so you have this sweet match...

My cousins Max and Duke are pretty rad pals



Instead of this...

Big News

A message from Gracie_the_bichon:
 

Happy Friday Friends!


Do you ever look at the calendar and realize it’s Friday when you thought it was only Thursday? Neither do I. I feel like most people know when Friday is going to arrive; perhaps it’s just our human that was caught by surprise at midnight. I digress. Let’s update you on some fun news!


Wait for it…..




Wait for it….




Please welcome Willow as the newest addition to the Knight Pack!!

Look at those floppy ears!

Ta-DA!




She’s a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. The breed my humans have been doing rescue and foster work with for many years. Dad surprised us for their anniversary. Apparently I’m only getting older and potentially grumpier, so they better get a puppy now and hopefully we’ll be friends? Lol we’ll see about that.


Willow Bean, as my girl human refers to her, is literally the worst. If any of you are Hamilton fans think of her as Aaron Burr and I’m Alexander Hamilton. Sometimes we’re sort of friends, more like mildly tolerating each other really. Most of the time we wish the other would find somewhere else to live.

The humans all seem to adore her.  Awesome, Wow! (heavy sarcasm)  Anyway, there you have it, our exciting announcement.

This is what happens when I pretend she doesn't exist.


Disclaimer: We’ve had her a while now, but I haven’t allowed the announcement because I was hoping the humans would change their mind and take her back or something.  She is now 4months old and it looks like she’ll be staying indefinitely. Sigh. 

So I guess in the coming weeks we’ll show you some of the adventures she’s been on since we acquired her.

 Stay tuned. Also, we’ll be hearing more about Tucker and some other friend journeys in the coming weeks. Thanks for reading.
 


Happy Friday!
