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)
PART (1/2)
Sometimes you don't need a plan when hanging out with your support Shep.
Enjoy some unfiltered and unscripted Dad dog.
Looking forward to Part 2? ๐
(CW: Bulge ๐ฉฒ, Paws ๐พ, Verbal Teasing ๐ฌ)
[Split into two parts due to video length limits]
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)
We all know Ryker loves being an emotional support Shep, but did you know it comes with a hefty benefits package too?
Interested? Don't worry, Ryker is going to give you all the details you need.
(CW: "Packages")
PART (2/2)
So we've learned that, without a plan in place, Sheps tend to get a little bit...distracted.
Looks like all that's left for you to do, puppy, is enjoy the show.
(CW: Bulge ๐ฉฒ, Verbal Teasing ๐ฌ)
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.
Want to know how Ryker finds all the good puppies? Well, he's going to let you in on a little secret... ๐
โ๏ธ This dog is flying off to Seattle tomorrow to visit his fuzzy friends. Don't worry, he'll be back home soon.
Now, be a good puppy while he's gone! ๐ถ๐

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? ๐
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. ๐
It's been less than half of a year since I've begun this crazy journey.
I feel fearless.
I feel actualized.
I feel so incredibly grateful.
I have so much left to say, and I have so much left to do. Thank you for getting me here. Thank you for keeping me here.
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.
Today is my birthday. ๐
I thought it was the perfect time to reflect on the last year and thank you for the overwhelming support you've given to me. ๐ฅฐ
You've made me feel like such a good dog and helped me to grow into the support Shep I am today.
Thank you,
-Ryker ๐
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. ๐
Whether you've been having a good week or a bad week, I hope a Shep playing the piano makes you smile just a little bit.
Ryker wanted to show you his new piano improvisation titled: "Tennis Balls"
Take a listen! ๐ถ๐น๐พ
The emotional support Shep has some exciting news for you! ๐
He's now fluffier than ever! But just remember, having a Shep around ain't easy, and this is no exception!
โ ๏ธPrepare your drains!โ ๏ธ
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. ๐ถ
When you get home, I'll be here.
I'll be the only thing you're thinking about the moment that door closes behind you.
I've got you. Nothing out there can hurt you. Not right now. Not with me.
It'll be okay. I'll make sure of that.
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. ๐
Today is a difficult day. Today we lost a friend.
I am processing a lot of emotions alongside my community.
This is a time for us all to remind each other that we care, we support, and we love.
You are all getting extra tight hugs the next time I see you.
#FWA2023
felt like the actualization of my character Ryker.
Thank you to those who...
Told me I've helped them.
Went out of their way to hug me.
Spent their day with me.
And especially those who cried in my arms.
I try to be a good dog and y'all made me feel like a great dog.
POV: Your local emotional support Shep found out you were having a rough day and made you his favorite dinner.
... But he's a still just a dumb dog.

What do you think--is it a pup cup worthy performance?

Being an Emotional Support Dog takes a lot of careful training and instruction to get just right.
Let's see if
@one_horse_dodge
is up to the task tonight! ๐ด๐ฅ๐
(It was a wonderful weekend spending time with this adorable horse ๐ฅฐ)
I know. Today was tough.
That's why I'm here.
From now until the time I put you to bed, you're mine.
I'm going to make you forget about every second of your bad day.
Now lay down--you've got a lot of forgetting to do.
I spent my 32nd birthday dancing as a shirtless German Shepherd among a crowded club of welcoming, unique, and unforgettable furries.
This is not where I expected to be a year ago, but I wouldn't change a single thing.
Thank you all for the amazing birthday. ๐
Current Fantasy:
After a long and stressful day, you come home to me. There will be no checking Emails, no chores, no plans--just us.
I'll hold you, squeeze you, and make you smile until your cheeks hurt. I will support you and that's mandatory.
Now get cozy, you're all mine.
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!
To my furry friends and followers:
You make me feel like the best dog in the world.
I'm driven by purpose and you all give me that purpose.
Thank you to everyone who stopped me, hugged me, and encouraged me. It's what makes my con.
So long

My favorite part of
#Furrydelphia2023
was taking three of my friends, putting them in a room together, and watching them all grow closer over the weekend. ๐
The only thing better than making friends is watching your friends become friends with your friends! ๐ฅฐ
Your local Emotional Support Shep is now equipped with some new support attire.
You're holding on to quite a few bad feelings, but don't worry, I'll wrestle them out of you.
Who's up first?
A quick and easy checklist for your future reference:
โ Ryker loves to dance.
โ Ryker wants to dance with you.
โ If you ask Ryker to dance, he will dance with you.
Furcationland, FWA, and AC are coming up! Who's gonna dance with this dog? ๐
Keep an eye out for this dog tomorrow at
#ANE2023
!
I love to meet new people so please don't be afraid to approach me to say hi, take pictures, or dance!
When fursuiting, I'm always in character so be sure to find me in and out of suit for the full experience.
It's been a long week for an emotional support Shep, so
@SpotGideon
is standing in again!
Be careful though, the crushing effects of his hugs may not be covered by most insurance plans!
