I have a service dog named Diesel. He's a beautiful golden retriever and I don't know what I'd do without him. He sleeps in bed right next to me and keeps me warm, seems to understand when I feel really bad and he never leaves my side. He puts clothes in the dryer and takes them out for me and picks up anything I drop. I don't drive anymore so Diesel gets me walking everyday. He chooses where we walk everyday and he can sense when I'm getting tired. He doesn't get out much except to doctors appt.
with me but he does love a car ride. He's my best friend.

This is my cat Velvet, she’s a Persian cross this is an old photo she’s 15years old now. She can be a terror at times but she also makes us laugh.

I can’t say they ‘help’ me per se because the 3 poodles always seem to go out every 15 minutes on my worst days lol but I love them dearly & can’t imagine my world without them.
