Happy Holidays from me to you! Mom had to use AI since we missed Santa this year. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Holiday #Christmas #SoPretty

Mom got me a cookie on a “Cookie Walk” we went on. Businesses gave out cookies and warm drinks. I even got my own beef and bacon cookie with frosting! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #ChristmasCookie #DogTreats

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

Well it’s another snow day! I’m excited to run and roll in the snow later. No work for me today! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #SnowDay #DayOff

I’m enjoying the snow day! #SnowDay #Fun #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

I love the snow! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

Mom says sorry for neglecting my account. Unfortunately I don’t have opposable thumbs, so I can’t type. Mom says she will be better about posting. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

Good #Morning loves! Im getting pets. Mom keeps trying to stop, but I won’t allow her too. I’m a spoiled princess. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

Traveling for Thanksgiving tomorrow. We’re heading down to family in Indiana. I’m excited to run in their yard. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Traveling #Thanksgiving

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

Morning hair, don’t care. #Morning #Dog

This is my toy! It’s a pirate chicken! I like to chew it! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Toy #Play

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

Working at the gym in Yoga. Mom feels comfortable enough to close her eyes and breathe with me close. She watches me, while I watch the room. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veteran #Working #Gym #Yoga

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 standing in the rain staring at mom, not going potty. Then I run off just to be silly. I’m a normal dog when my best is off. 😈 🐾 #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Morning

Worked a bit this weekend. We went to the pumpkin patch again. I was a good girl as always. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #PumpkinPatch

Good morning friends! It’s Saturday. That means I get to work at the garage. We may go back to the pumpkin patch. Mom’s man’s son, 7, needs a pumpkin. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Fall #Pumpkins

Every good doggie needs a home. Look at this smile! #AdoptDontShop

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday. I worked hard. Mom made it through. I’m a good girl! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

Morning tug. I wake up ready to play. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Morning #Play

Mom woke up in the middle of the night. She has nightmares. I use my body to apply pressure, which helps calm her down. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #PTSD #Comfort #Working

I got to work a lot yesterday! I’m still exhausted. I’m lying by mom not wanting to move! We went to a Grilled Cheese festival. Mom is a #Vegetarian and loves grilled cheese. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

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

I require all the attention all the time! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Morning #Boop

I got to work at the fair yesterday. Mom lasted a couple hours. She had a panic attack, so went back to the car. I comforted mom in the car, and got her to calm down #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #PTSD

I’m loving Michigan! We have a yard I can run in. Apartment living was not for me. From city dog to country dog. I’m fitting in great! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #CountryDog

Good morning friends! Mom has coffee and I’m waiting for her to be done so she feeds me. I’m obviously starved. #Morning #Hungry #Impatient

We went to Costco yesterday. Mom got Bully Sticks. I ate it all! It only took 4 hours to chew it up. #BullyStick #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Treats

I’m a car dog for the next few days. Mom set up a hammock and my bed in the backseat. It’s pretty comfy. I’m ready to get back on the road. The humans are still in bed. #Traveling #Moving

We went to my Great Grandparents’s today. I was not allowed in the pond. I got groomed yesterday, so mom said no. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Pretty

Yesterday was quite the day for mom. She had a lot to do at work after vacation. Today is no exception. Lots to do! I get to lay on my bed, and watch the office door for intruders. But first, Sleep! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

Well #GoodMorning friends! Mom goes back to work today, which means I do too. I really enjoy working! 🐾 #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

Good morning! We made it home yesterday from our Sf Bay Area vacay. 13 hours drive. I was a perfect companion. I laid down the whole way home. We’re gonna rest today. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Blanket #Morning

We’re road tripping to Cali to see my brother. Mom really misses 8, but we get to see him today! I’m pretty happy about it! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans

Mom doesn’t agree with Trump deploying troops in DC. Everyone of them is disobeying their oath! This is an unlawful order. You do not follow unlawful orders! #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #DC #Trump #UnlawfulOrder

We went camping this past weekend. I’m covered in tree gunk and dirt. I was rolling around in everything! Mom needs to call the groomer. 🤣 #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Camping #DirtyDog

I’m not feeling well. I’m having tummy trouble. Mom says I don’t have to work today, and get to rest. Mom will take her meds if she has to leave the house without me. #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Sick #Sad

Anything can be a pillow. Including mom’s slippers. 😁 🐾 #WillowTheServiceDog #ServiceDog #WorkingDog #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetriever #Veterans #Morning #Slipper #Pillow
