Let me smell you first

 New friends

when I first meet new friends, they tell me about all the dogs they had. They speak of love and companionship. This is Kurt, he is telling me about his day.
He speaks of time whisking by and how I made his day. As I listen he gives me a treat. He asks me to come and visit more and I acknowledge by giving him my paw. I love meeting people. Some people see me and are afraid of me at first, maybe because of a past experience or some service dogs are always working for their human, so you can't pet them or even talk to them. I wear a vest or "as my handler calls it the jacket", I have a special patch sewed on it that says, "ask to pet me I'm friendly". I have met children that run up to me and want to hug me.
Also remember, when you meet me let me smell you first.

   Dog Grooming is Not Only For Appearance     Grooming is an important part of Barbie’s health, with regular brushing and combing helping to remove dead hair and dirt and prevent matting. Barbie who is regularly groomed tends to have a healthier and shinier coat because it stimulates the blood supply to the skin. Grooming Barbie can also be a good way to bond with her, and it's important to get her used to it from an early age. Many dogs learn to see their routine brushing as an alternate petting, another source of affection and attention. A good quality brush and comb will help you with your dog's coat, but also remember that your dog's eyes, ears, and nails require attention as well. Grooming is more than just a hair cut. It may include bathing, combing, brushing, clipping nails, cutting or shaving mats, cleaning ears and controlling external parasites.

A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.  Jim Morrison. Barbie was trained to detect low blood sugar levels.  Barbie has outstanding traits for knowing when people have extreme feelings, high anxiety, depression, feelings of loss, PTSD, feelings of emptiness and the list goes on. Can dogs really feel it all? Dogs can feel, too. They can feel when something is wrong, or when they need to jump in for a cuddle. Yet, when it comes to us reacting to their emotions, things get complicated. Why? Well, for starters, dogs have their own way of expressing emotion, and sometimes it’s not only ignored but mistaken for misbehaving. New owners tend to mistake it for anxiety symptoms, or simply lack training, but believe us when we say that certain behavior patterns when
