no one would dare interrupt service poodle’s delicious snack with a medical emergency. never.

#she did put down the snack to tell me my heart rate jumped #she just did so very begrudgingly #poodle #service dog #calypso #kvali’s calypso

Enjoyed taking her out today for some neutrality work and proofing some more difficult cues in a new environment 💕

🚨NAKED SERVICE POODLE🚨

Spotted at the PT office napping peacefully and occasionally waking up to task

#poodle #service dog #kvali’s calypso #this is genuinely how some people act when they see calypso without a vest #“she’s NAKED??’’ #like girl you expect me to remember a vest every time we leave the house?

rude awakening: service poodle scared herself out of a nap with a particularly loud fart

#poodle #service dog #kvali’s calypso #she’s so ridiculous #she stared at me like “BRO WHAT WAS THAT’’

Lack of Poodle Updates is due to the fact that she has undergone a surgery (full hysterectomy*, aka spay) and has no opportunities to get her yah-yahs** out.

Sadly, with her uterus removed but her yah-yahs intact, poodle has become*** unphotogenic 😭

Her days of weird looking are numbered, as her prescription pain medication**** will run out soon.

Exhibits A-D:

Who wants to see that?*****

Please send your well-wishes to my venmo ♥️ (SARCASM******)

all those asterisks (asterix?) under the cut ✂️

*why am i jealous of my dog right now?

**yah-yahs are an alternate term for the zoomies, though more inclusive of non zoomie activities, such as whining dramatically when you cannot lick the vacuum or, alternatively, licking the vacuum. A zoomie activity would be more like running at full speed around the yard while holding something of very little value to anyone else. TLDR; ya-yas = pent up energy released by performing enriching activities

***please pause for dramatic effect

**** let the record state that I’m also jealous of this #chronic pain #fibromyalgia #neuropathy

***** Me :)

a long hard day of being the most beautiful poodle in the room

#poodle #calypso #kvali’s calypso #she did an amazing job with a zero-treats outing to a strip mall though! #thank you america for making the ultimate service dog training area: the outdoor mall

[slutshakespeare]

Calypso went to Build-a-Bear! 💕 We did not get to make a friend (my little sister was the focus of the trip) but we did get to experience the new sights and sounds of a busy mall on Sunday!

Service Poodle discovers animals who do not appreciate her services. She is understandably heartbroken.

#poodle #service dog #kvali’s calypso #i took her to nature to explore #and she wanted to retrieve every single animal for me #🥺 #i love having a little water retriever #genetics at work

#poodle #service dog #calypso #kvali’s calypso #she’s so patient with me #she’s just a little guy #i love her so much
