A red bi Australian shepherd puppy just 8 weeks old laying in a puffy black reclining chair. Curled up next to a green velvety pillow dwarfing her as she sleeps with her head tucked behind it. She slumbers cute as a button. An adorable red bi Australian shepherd laying in top of a medium sized green velvety pillow. Curled up with half her body dwarfing the pillow.

I’m a PRINCESS!! 👑 Cousin’s School’s Halloween Pet Parade. Don’t have kids, was not prepared for the chaos!!. Sassy says no problem! She was pretty excited & still learning not to jump. After this a complex therapy dog rating won’t be that difficult for her! 😆 💖 #DogsOfBluesky #AustralianShepherd

Sassy ❤️ frisbee! She is a youngster, we only throw a few low straight tosses a week. I threw a few today & she caught one!! My husband was jealous, so we took a pregame walk & he threw her a few. The wind grabbed it, but here is her second catch!!! 💖 #FrisbeeDog #FrisbeeDogInTheMaking #DogsOfBluesky

We hit our goal: $350!! 🎉 For many, $45,000 for a service dog is impossible. Thankfully, the cost of a service dog is covered by people like you and me. Knowing how profoundly service dogs transform lives drives my commitment to help make the world a better place. See donation link in Comments! 💖

Week 3: Back up

Sassy nailed High-five by the next day. We got some distance on her crawl and I am able to stand up. Going to see if I can shape her crawl this week and put it to the cue word.

Took Sassy out for her first pup cup and to launch her professional dog modeling/acting career. After about 10 outtakes, we got our masterpiece.

The guy is looking down and the puppy is looking co site with her feet and face within the cutout. There are 4 cow face cutouts with the cows standing in the grass and a blue sky with some twisty clouds. There is a low white picket fence and some flowers in front of the cutout.

Week 1: Crawl ~ Full disclosure: we practiced this for 10 - 15 seconds on Monday, before Sassy decided to do the trick challenge. I didn’t expect her to remember it… but Sassy is apparently brilliant & the goodest girl ever. 🐶💫 Consider Donating 🙏🏼 #TeamSassy #CanDoCanines #DogsOfBlueSky #ServiceDogs

Been admiring this since the beginning of June, finally I passed it while I wasn’t driving!

A splash of color in an unexpected place.

A reminder that even the hardest walls can bloom with love, identity, and hope.

It shouts pride, love and joy! I see you!!

Love always wins!! #Pride
🏳️‍🌈 ❤️💜🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙
A bleak dull side of a highway wall towering above all. Splashed with over 20 colors poured over the top. Shouting pride, love and joy!

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

My husband tried to toss the carrot dog toy. “No one likes it,” he said. I bought it for our past dogs — and they agreed. But I said, “Let’s just see if she likes it…” Now it’s basically her emotional support vegetable. 🥕🐾 🤣 #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #AustralianShepherd #CutenessOverload
