Make sure you don't forget about walking your Shep in the morning. Otherwise they might use that excess energy for other purposes. Time to get to work, puppy. (CW: Sheath)

So matter what kind of day you've been having, this emotional support Shep has you covered. Need a laugh? I've got you. Need a distraction? Say no more. Need to forget about the last 8 hours? I'm on it. Just remember: this Shep knows best. (CW: NSFW)

Your emotional support Shep wants to know what innocent gesture makes you squirm. Rub behind the ear? A touch on the neck? Maybe getting called a good puppy? Let him know. But be warned: All information can and will be used against you. This dog loves to tease.

Tonight I get to fulfill a little fantasy. I'm having a new local friend over I haven't met before. From the time he arrives until the time he leaves I'll be in suit and in character. What do you think? Would you like an evening alone with this support dog? ๐Ÿ’›

One year ago, I adopted this dog and he changed my life. I have made many friends, been on countless adventures, and been welcome into so many lives. Thank you for your relentless support. You have given me so much joy and I work every day to pass that joy to others. ๐Ÿ’›

Alright puppy. Time to learn some Shep etiquette. When the bulge is out, you sniff it. Not once. Not twice. You do it until I say so. It's only polite. Now let's practice.

It's been a fun night of partying and dancing, but eventually it's time to return to the hotel room. Good thing you have a Shep waiting for you. The question is: will that dog be taking care of you for the evening, or are you going to be the one tending to the Shep?

This Shep has a favor to ask of you. Everyone is holding onto some sort of pain and, together, we can do a lot to provide support to those we care about. It's hard to ask for others to help, so give that support regardless. Stay strong my friends. ๐Ÿ’›

Ever get jealous that your dog gets to stay home all day while you're stuck at work? Don't worry, once you come back home, Ryker will give you some puppy time. That way you're not missing out! He's gonna make you wear your collar, though. Fair warning. ๐Ÿถ

Sometimes this dog isn't feeling his best. Maybe you're not feeling your best either. It might be bad now, but time has a way of smoothing things over. Just as we come down from those highs, we also crawl out from those lows. Here's to a brighter tomorrow. Good night puppy. ๐Ÿ’›

Good evening. It has been brought to my attention that efforts have been put forth to dox me based upon the pro-LGBTQ/furry content I post on here. This group uses tactics such as doctored screenshots and false chat logs. I ask for your support. The Shep will be back soon!
