BREAKING NEWS: I AM NOT A ROBOT!

Hello, humans! Tiny here.

Apparently, some people believe that if a service dog makes ONE mistake, our entire career is over.

ONE?!

Excuse me while I check my employee handbook.

Listen, I'm a trained medical alert service dog. I have important responsibilities, and I take my job seriously.

But I'm also a DOG.

Sometimes something smells interesting.
Sometimes I have an opinion.
And sometimes Mom and I need to practice something again.

That's called being alive, not being a fraud.

Now, don't misunderstand me! Service dogs still need to be trained, housebroken, and under control in public. If we're out of control and our handlers don't take effective action, a business can require us to leave.

But an occasional mistake doesn't automatically erase our training.

Meanwhile, Gorf has introduced his newest invention: the PERFECT DOG 3000.

It never gets distracted, never sniffs anything, and apparently never has an original thought.

Congratulations, Gorf. You've invented a very expensive paperweight.

TRAINED DOESN'T MEAN PERFECT. IT MEANS PREPARED TO DO THE JOB.

Humans, do you think service dogs are sometimes held to impossible standards?

Love, Tiny 🐾🩷

EXCUSE ME! WHO SAID I CLOCK OUT WHEN MOM TAKES MY VEST OFF?

Hello, friends! Tiny here.

Apparently, some people think that when a service dog's vest comes off, our training magically disappears.

Well, that's news to me!

When Mom takes off my vest, I'm still the same little girl who knows how to recognize changes associated with her seizures and POTS.

I'm still trained to alert her.
I'm still her partner.
And I'm still capable of doing my job.

But here's something else that's important.

I GET TO BE A DOG, TOO!

I get to nap.
I get to play.
I get to enjoy my blankets, toys, and all the cuddles Mom can possibly provide.

Because being a service dog doesn't mean working every single second without a break.

It means I've been trained to perform important tasks that help Mom with her disabilities.

And guess what?

THAT TRAINING DOESN'T VANISH WHEN MY VEST COMES OFF.

Sometimes my most important work happens right at home, where nobody else sees it.

P.S. Gorf tried to clock out at 9:03 this morning. Management informed him he hasn't actually clocked IN since Tuesday.

Love, Tiny 🐾🩷

DINNER PLANS? I'LL WAIT.

Hi, friends! Tiny here!

So apparently, Bible study was having dinner and game night!

Everyone was busy getting things ready.

People were moving around.
Things were happening.
And me?

I found myself a comfortable little spot on the carpet and decided to supervise from there.

You see, being a service dog doesn't mean I need to be the center of attention.

Sometimes the best thing I can do is stay settled, remain attentive to Mom, and let everyone else go about their business.

I don't need to investigate every sound, greet every person, or get involved in every activity.

Although I would like to point out that the word dinner was mentioned, and nobody consulted me about the menu.

Rude.

But seriously, friends, these quiet moments are part of real service dog life, too.

Not every working moment looks exciting.

That doesn't make it any less meaningful.

Love, Tiny 🐾🩷

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SERVICE DOG WHEN THE HANDLER NEEDS HELP?

Hi, friends! Tiny here!

I have a pretty important job. I help keep my mom safe by alerting her to medical changes.

But here's something people don't always think about...

What happens to ME if Mom has a medical emergency and can't take care of me?

That's why emergency planning matters!

Someone may need to keep me safe, contact Mom's designated caregiver, or make arrangements for my care if Mom can't.

And here's something really important: A medical emergency doesn't automatically mean a service dog should be separated from their handler. Sometimes staying together is possible and appropriate. Other times, a safe temporary care plan may be necessary.

The goal should always be to protect BOTH members of the team.

Because helping my mom shouldn't mean forgetting about me.

That's part of why Tiny's Bill advocates for better education and emergency response procedures involving service dog teams.

Love, Tiny 🐾🩷

🎓 TINY TEACHES…

SOMETIMES MY JOB COMES BEFORE YOUR COMMAND!

Hi, friends! Tiny here!

Did you know that sometimes a service dog can be trained to interrupt what they're doing because something more important needs their attention?

And NO, that doesn't automatically mean we're being naughty!

You see, I'm Mom's fully trained seizure alert service dog. My job isn't just to listen to commands. It's also to recognize certain changes and respond the way l've been trained.

Sometimes that means interrupting whatever we were doing.

Mom could be asking me to do something, but if I recognize something that requires a trained medical alert, that alert becomes my priority.

Because medical emergencies don't exactly wait for a convenient moment!

Now, before anyone gets too excited, that doesn't mean service dogs get a free pass to ignore commands or behave however we want.

We still need training, appropriate public behavior, and effective control from our handlers.

There's a BIG difference between a dog ignoring a command because they haven't been trained properly and a dog performing a trained disability related task that takes priority.

And sometimes, what looks like disobedience to someone watching is actually a dog doing exactly what they've been trained to do.

THIS WEEK'S LESSON:

A trained interruption isn't automatically
disobedience.

And as for me?

Mom, I heard you. I really did.

But your medical situation just moved to the top of my to do list.

Different tasks. Different priorities. Same important job.

13 POUNDS. ONE BIG MISSION. YOUR SIGNATURE MATTERS.

Hi, friends! Tiny here! 🎀

I might be small, but my job is anything but!

I'm Mom's fully trained seizure alert service dog, and I work hard to help keep her safe.

But today, I'm asking YOU for a little help.

Mom has been working incredibly hard on Tiny's Bill, advocating for better education, accountability, and stronger protections for service dogs and the people who depend on them.

And while I can alert Mom to medical changes, I can't exactly walk into Congress and introduce legislation myself.

Believe me, l've considered it. 😂🐾

That's where YOU come in!

protections matter.

PLEASE DON'T LET MY LITTLE SIZE FOOL YOU. THIS IS A BIG MISSION!

And we can't do it alone.

Thank you for being part of our pack and helping us keep this important conversation going!

EXCUSE ME! WHEN DID BEING A SERVICE DOG BECOME A COMPETITION?!

Hi, everybody! It's Tiny!

I have a very important question today.

Who decided that service dogs are supposed to compete against each other?!

Because I don't remember signing up for that!

Some service dogs are big.
Some are little. (HELLO! THAT'S ME! 🩷)
Some walk close to their handler's leg.
Some need a little more room to perform their tasks.
Some watch their handlers constantly.

Others monitor their surroundings, respond to specific changes, or use different trained behaviors to help their person.

Different handlers. Different disabilities.
Different needs. Different working styles.

And guess what?

That doesn't automatically make one team better than another!

My momma and I have worked very hard together.

I'm trained to alert her when something isn't right, and sometimes that means getting her attention in ways that might look unusual to somebody who doesn't understand my job.

But I know what I'm supposed to do!

And my momma knows why I do it.

Now, don't misunderstand me.

Being a service dog comes with responsibilities!

We need disability related task training, effective control, and appropriate public behavior.

And genuine problems should be addressed.

But correcting a problem and publicly tearing somebody apart are two very different things.

We can support other handlers without excusing unsafe behavior.

And we can educate people without embarrassing them.

My momma always says that if the service dog community spent more time helping one another, imagine how much stronger we could become.

I think she's right.

Now, Grandpa Gorf has interrupted this very important discussion to announce that he's won FIRST PLACE in the Service Frog Championships.

Apparently, his qualifications include:

🐸 Sitting down once.
🐸 Not falling off the couch.
🐸 Awarding himself the trophy.

GORF!!!

NOBODY WAS COMPETING!!!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEAR DOWN ANOTHER TEAM TO STAND PROUD OF YOUR OWN.

Kindness. Respect. Accountability.

That's how we build a stronger community!

BIBLE STUDY: TINY'S EDITION!

Hi, friends! Tiny here!

Mom took me to Bible study, and naturally, I had some very important responsibilities.

First, I had to sit nicely.

Then, I had to look around and see what was happening.

And finally, I had to make sure Mom appreciated just how adorable | looked in my pink bow.

I'd say I handled everything beautifully!

But here's something I want people to understand.

Being a service dog doesn't mean every moment of our day involves performing a visible task.

Sometimes we're simply accompanying our handlers, remaining settled, and being ready if we're needed.

And that's exactly what I was doing!

Well...that and being ridiculously cute.

MULTITASKING, FRIENDS. IT'S A SKILL.

Love, Tiny 🐾🩷

Hello, friends! Tiny here!

Apparently, some humans think the most important thing about a service dog is how perfectly we sit, heel, or follow commands.

Well, let me explain something.

I WASN'T HIRED FOR MY SITTING SKILLS!

Don't get me wrong. Good manners are
VERY important.

A service dog needs to remain under effective control and behave appropriately in public.

But being obedient and being trained to perform disability related tasks aren't the same thing.

A dog can have absolutely beautiful obedience skills and still not be a trained service dog.

Why?

Because under the ADA, a service dog must be individually trained to perform work or tasks related to a person's disability.

For me, that includes my seizure alert work ans my trained responses when Mom needs help.

Those skills aren't measured by how pretty my sit looks.

And here's the other side of it:

Having trained medical tasks doesn't mean a dog gets a free pass to behave inappropriately in public.

GOOD MANNERS MATTER.
PUBLIC BEHAVIOR MATTERS.
TASK TRAINING MATTERS.

A properly trained service dog needs the combination, not just one impressive skill.

So please stop judging service dogs like we're competing in a dog show.

Some of us have medical responsibilities to attend to!

📖 TINY'S DIARY!

Dear Diary,

Mom has made some VERY serious accusations against me.

Apparently, I'm a "blanket thief."

EXCUSE ME?!

If she didn't want me claiming the blankets, why does she keep leaving them in all my favorite sleeping spots?!

I have reviewed the evidence, and I find myself completely innocent.

The couch blanket? Mine.
The bed blanket? Also mine.
Mom's lap? Obviously mine.

I don't make the rules.
Okay, actually, I do.

And before anyone asks, no, I will not be accepting appeals.

Love, Tiny 🐾🩷
