Would you like to put a smile on my face and help someone else too (documentary evidence of me running and smiling in the reply)?

For various reasons this past month has been a bit rough, so please help me raise money for another kind of ruff, an assistance dog for Skye.

I'm currently at the £240 mark of my £500 goal. If you can give even a little that would be awesome.

Voor al deze hulphonden - waarvan ik heb gezien wat zij betekenen of betekenden voor hun 'gebruikers' - loop ik dit jaar via Heroes for Charity minimaal 2025 km om geld op te halen voor Hulphond Nederland. De teller staat nu al op 1061 km 😉

Gelukkig komen er ook regelmatig donaties binnen.

Help mee om mijn streefbedrag te bereiken op https://www.helphulphond.nl/fundraisers/ondine-de-hullu

My other half Anna on the radio this morning talking about #AssistanceDogs and #Autism #DogsOfMastodon https://www.wlrfm.com/podcasts/the-saturday-cafe/woodies-heroes-sat-cafe-369224

I can almost feel excited that I might be able to get my dog their first proper guide harness! I just gotta get through our monthly bills and my girlfriend's camera, and then I'm like one inclusivity job away from it

I say when I've taken 3 this month and literally can't leave the house, shower, or even work multiple days in the past week.

fuck.

Oof, the charity has responded and it's rubbish. :D

How shocked are we to see an organisation set up purely to help autistic people be ableist towards their clients regarding their autistic needs? 🤨

Ugh, I'm sad and angry about it.

I think assistance dogs in the U.S. ought to include ones that "only" give emotional support. Personally I don't give a fuck if your dog is task trained or not, I just want your dogs to act well in public so people don't give us all shit for having our dogs.

Course in training dogs are different. My malamute is still super naughty! But ones "finished" training, as long as they good in public, I just cannot care if it is a "real" service dog or not.

Good evening. I hope you're keeping well. I haven't been posting for a while due to ongoing health problems. But I thought I'd share this piece, a portrait of Kuno, an assistance dog who lives in Canada. He's 16x20" and created using acrylics on canvas board. Take care and have a good rest of the day.

It's a good thing my colleagues in the office provide #assistancedogs. 🙈
