Nifty Knitting

I have to tell you about this pawsome poo bag holder I got the other day. It's custom made with pink and green stripes and works great for my service dog vest.

This thing is super cool and looks like those bags that the humans use to put grocery bags in.

Now you may think it's silly for a human to pick up our poop. After all it's just poop.


Did you know that poop can spread yucky diseases. It can also mess up peoples shoes. Some dogs that aren't well cared for have icky worms. This can make healthy dogs and even people sick.

If people keep leaving poop around some places may stop people from having dogs and that would just be sad.

It makes places smelly and less pretty to look at too.

It's super easy to train your person to pick up your poop.

First of all use those puppy eyes to get them to feed you. Then just wait. Let them know "HEY I GOTTA POTTY" Then after you go wait... if they pick it up, thats a good human and they should be rewarded with a nice big kiss. People like our kisses so this will teach them to pick up that poop.







Did you know that in some cities it's illegal to leave the poop where it falls? They could use that money to buy you treats so make sure they pick up the mess.


See it's not that hard and with a cute, cool , 1 of a kind made with love bag like this you can pick it up in style.


If you ever see someone and their poops and they don't clean it up you can walk right over give them a bag and tell them that "The right thing to do is pick up the poo"






I love that she even gave my mama something that our Aunt Kay calls a coffee cup cuff. Even though my mama hates coffee.

She LOVES hot tea and this is perfect for her travel mug. It makes it look super cute. I love this for her because it made her smile. She was feeling silly so she put it on her wrist B.O.L

The nice lady who made this is super talented and so nice too.

The shirt says it all

Lots of people know that they aren't supposed to pet Service Dogs while we are working, but few know exactly why. Even less understand that they shouldn't DISTRACT us in ANY WAY. 

You may be asking, Daisy-Mae what counts as a distraction?? That's actually pretty simple. 
Petting is a distraction but so is talking to us, calling us by name, makeing direct eye contact with us or actions in the attempt to get our attention , like a funny sound. 
So, now to the question everybody wants to ask…WHY? Why can't I play with the dog? I like dogs.The simple answer is that we are here to keep our partner safe. When we get distracted we are not paying attention to our job and our disabled human handler could very easily get hurt, ending up broken and bleeding. Or even worse.  Broken and bleeding is BAD. You can’t pet Service Dogs because it’s distracting, and if a working dog is distracted because of something you do and our  handler gets sick or injured, it’s your fault. You could have to pay medical bills or even go to jail.

So what should you do when you encounter a Service Dog team? You should simply ignore the dog completely. Pretend that we simply aren't there. Interact with the human partner as you would any other person.

“But? Shouldn’t I at least say hi? Isn’t it rude not to at least say hello?” NO. Read that again. NO. JUST PRETEND WE AREN'T THERE. Rest assured that the human partner will not think you are rude for ignoring their dog. Instead, they will marvel at your stellar Service Dog etiquette! Wouldn't you rather they think highly of you?

And while it's never appropriate to pet us without permission, some people may allow you to do so. So what's the best way to greet a person with a service dog? Easy talk to the person first. Introduce yourself, and always put our human partner first before you ask anything about us. f the answer is no you can't pet don't get upset just say "O.k"  and walk away.

Now a lot of service dogs like myself we wear patches that say DO NOT PET.I really love that this nice person made a shirt that explains things a bit to people and that it's a shirt for my mama. I also love that the back points out that not all disabilities are visible. This shirt fits my mama great and it's super well made. It's short and to the point but not rude. Also it's cute but is still very professional

For Service Dogs Only.

All of my fellow Service Dogs can relate.  Many times the public and business owners jsut don't understand the do's and don'ts about access.

This nifty folded double side card will tell them in a very quick friendly but professional way exactly what they can and can't ask.

I think they are a super great price and that every service dog needs to keep some in their vest.

The card has a quick discription of what a service dog is. A discription of what a service dog is not. A reminder to respect our person. Info that we are not required to have identification, the two questions that can be asked.

This card also has a thank you for welcoming us in to a business.

The back of the card reminds you that not all disabilities are visible so this is a great add on to the card You won't believe how often my mama hears  "You're Not Sick"
You don't look disabled."

This little gem should make life much easier on us and you if you get a card too.

15 for $10
5 for $6

I will remind my mama to take pictures for the post tomorrow.

Frame it up

I really love decking out our car, and showing people how pawsome service dogs are.

See as a service dog theres a lot resting on my paws. I have to take care of my mama by making sure I let her know before she gets sick so she won't hit her head. I help her owchies go away by laying on them, I have to open doors by hitting a button when she uses her wheelchair and help her find her mama if she gets confused. See that's a lot of work for one dog.

I also have to deal with dummies barking at me and meowing. Man do they look dumb.

I can't try to eat the yummy smelling food at the grocery store or when my people go out to eat.

I even have to walk through busy busy parking lots.


See that's a lot of hard work and I want the word to know how special I really am. Thats where  this cool plate frame comes in handy.












This plate frame is made of plastic and has nice wording on it. I picked out "When God Created The Service Dog He Was Just Showing Off"

BOL Thats so silly but so true.

I love how simple it is to put onto your car and can you believe the letters are reflective so they can be seen at night. Thats just awesome.


This company does great work and has a pretty quick shipping time. Truly worth the wait and with more than 2000 frames to pick I bet you find the perfect one for your car.

Tag you're it.

I usually tell you all about pawducts that bonifit my fellow canines. This one though is to make your car look cool.

We all know those silly humans think the car belongs to them BOL. They are so funny.

With these tags everyone will know it's all yours.

See my tag lets the whole world know that service dogs are pawsome. You can get one made with your name too. I bet they can even do a custom one with your picture.


Now if you want to you can even get one special that talks about your humans personality.

The turn-a-round time is super fast and the quality is amazing.

I love that the tag came from Myrtle Beach. My  mama and I love to visit there so maybe oneday we will get to see the nice people who made the tag for me.

The price is great too. Just $16.99 and it's truly worth it. This can help you tell your car apart from all the others in the parking lot.


The tag does not come with the screws to put it on but those are easy to get.

Make the car look cool.

Hello everyone.

Now I know I normally tell you about doggy products, but I got something special the other day.

You see a few days ago, my mamas car died. Our Aunt Debbie, who is an awesome Sunday school teacher gave us her old Jimmy when she got a newer car. This replaced our dead one.

The Jimmy had a decal on it that was a cross and said John 3.16. Aunt Debbie was sad because she missed that on her car.

We looked around a bit, and found one that was even better. You see this one had three crosses, and John 3.16.

I love that it's really pretty and religious.  I love how easy they are to work with. How friendly they are, and the super quality.


Even better the shipping is very quick.


This thing goes on lickity split and is easy as pie.


Clean and area then follow the simple instructions and you're done.


Now you may say that the religion ones aren't for you, but not to worry. They have lots lots more.

This made Aunt Debbie so happy.
