Progressives: "We should just give homes to homeless people."

Corporate Bootlickers: "You mean they get to OWN a HOUSE? That OTHER PEOPLE PAID FOR?"

Progressives: "If that makes you angry, wait until you hear about landlords."

Last time I checked, the entire country is not my personal property. So I don't get to choose who enters the country the same way I get to choose who enters my house.

And if I did get to choose who's welcome in the country, I'd much rather keep the immigrants and deport the Trump supporters.

PSA because I have gotten this more and more as service dog awareness has gotten more and more in the past couple years.

I find this mostly to be a problem in like queer disabled spaces. I run into the problem of people, wanting to respect my service dog so much that they don’t really respect me..(?) like they’re visibly like walking on eggshells whenever they’re near me. No one sits next to me or talks to me. I think in an attempt to not “offend me” by distracting my dog when they don’t even know me.

I don’t know if this will go for all handlers, but it goes for everyone I’ve talked to. You will be fine around a service dog handler if you were not purposely trying to distract it. If you’re doing something just cause like fidgeting or somethingand the dog gets distracted that’s on the handler and the dogs training. It’s not your fault, and stop apologizing for it. It gets quite annoying after a while.

TLDR a treat service dog handlers like people and like the dog isn’t there.

Collateral work of 'The Link'.

Five minutes of practice in 40 seconds, with my honorary bulldog. Look at those shoulders.

For our sport, the dog loses points in position changes if they move forward during the sequence. If they can't respond promptly and hold the cued position that is also a point deduction. In a sport where every point counts we try to build strong understanding of not just the verbal cue, but also how to transition into the position without extra forward movement. A dog can't do those transitions without proper conditioning, so there's lots of upkeep to keep positions trial ready.

Static positions are extra hard for a dog as dance-y and prone to vibrating as Cake but I'm not mad at this
