life with a service dog (a vlog!)

[@cosmicabilities]

I’ll personally fight whoever called Finn ugly 😤😤😤

[@thepawswithpurpose]

omg thank you bae 😩

[@kaiikaiis]

Yes please

[@JasperTheServiceDemon]

Same tho, Finn is adorable

[@bunnyboop6956]

I love watching these bc I have rlly bad social anxiety, anxiety, and depression and I’ve been debating about asking my doctor about a sd. These vids show me how much attention an SD can get. They make me think “can my social anxiety handle that?” .

[@amybenenson1657]

Love your point. You should absolutely not feel guilty for not being super productive. You should feel proud getting out of bed some days! Other days when you feel better - you have higher thresholds to get more done. Amen👏🏼👏🏼 Keep the content coming!

[@thepawswithpurpose]

totally!! and thank you so much :)

[@VampyType0]

I really needed to hear this, I've been less productive, and my mom makes me feel really bad about it. I have no friends to hang out with and I lost interest in things I used to like doing, like art. I feel myself slipping away all I want is to stay in bed day after day but this comment and the message in this video gave me energy to start a painting. 💖

[@beccaburton4201]

Finn is definitely not ugly! Just a stinky stinky boo! Love that man I love how real you are In video Stella it makes me feel like I’m not alone ❤️

[@thepawswithpurpose]

[@thepawswithpurpose]

[@drewmoore8123]

Finn is the cutest pup ever! I love him! Don't listen to the haters! Also starting in person school and bringing my SDIT with me, it's a very chill laidback school so do you have any tips?

[@thepawswithpurpose]

thank you so much!!!! and i have a video on some tips and i'm also filming a school q+a soon, so stay tuned for that!! you'll do great, it's not as scary as it seems. the biggest thing is to stay calm and don't overthink it, trust your dog! :)

[@drewmoore8123]

@@thepawswithpurpose thank you so much! I have also watched you past school videos and those are very helpful too! :)

@@RoyalHound Thank you! :)

[@magdalenevlogs890]

omg i hope it goes well! i plan on doing my freshman year (next year) with my SDIT but my state doesn’t cover SDIT so i hope the principal allows me

[@Fiaaa.]

My goodness I seriously loved this! Keep posting! Your pup is SO well behaved compared to mine. Makes me want to do some more training classes with her. 😅

[@thepawswithpurpose]

thank you so much!!!!!

[@debbie5872]

Thank you for keeping it REAL!!!...I agree with you!!!

[@Bellbeesevenacresfarm]

Finn is one of the most BEAUTIFUL dogs I’ve seen idk how some one could call him ugly

[@thepawswithpurpose]

he is pretty cute if i do say so myself 😩

[@Bellbeesevenacresfarm]

@@thepawswithpurpose not pretty cute amazingly cute ☺️ he seems like a dog you could be best friends with

[@TheKeenKanines]

I have a dog who LOVES destroying tennis balls. We’ve found that the brand Chuck It has amazing rubber balls that also float if you ever take Finn swimming!

[@thepawswithpurpose]

oooh i'll try that!!!

[@that.traveling.k9]

Hi! Im new to this channel im subscribing love the service dog videos keep it up!

[@morghan_leigh]

Love your channel just found it! Just got approved for a service dog so now we wait! 😊

[@allycabrera9759]

Do you ever have anxiety when driving. I have my drivers license and my own car. Sometimes I can’t physically drive because I will have panic attacks while driving or thinking about having to drive and sometimes I get dissociated and don’t want to cause a wreck. Just trying to see if I’m the only one with this problem

[@bellastarrie]

ur my favorite ytuber ha you and fin are a great team! keep it up

[@thepawswithpurpose]

oh my gosh, thank you SO much! it means more than you know! :,)

[@peachy4358]

Marvel cracks tennis balls in half in like 5 seconds too 🤦😅 I really appreciate the little bit about productivity, it’s a hard thing to remember sometimes so seeing other people acknowledge that productivity looks different for everyone is really encouraging 💕

[@kellythestrawberry6353]

Hii omg I love you your like my favorite youtuber and that dude on the motorcycle and the editing that said hey queen had me dieing :)

[@thepawswithpurpose]

bahha thank you!!! and i'm glad you enjoyed that :))))

[@kellythestrawberry6353]

And Finn is no where close to being ugly he's like the cutest dog ever ;)

[@hannah-rayneplummer277]

I just want to say hello. I have arthritis and have been considering applying for a service dog to be with me. I looked up vlogs of people with service dogs and yours popped up. You're very adorable and inspiring. I enjoyed watching and so I subscribed and look forward to seeing more videos :) Thanks hun

[@OfficiallySophia0G]

I love this video!!!

[@thepawswithpurpose]

THANK YOU! :)

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

Its weird to know exactly what a stranger was doing on my SDIT's birthday, but here we are

[@ocaz9976]

Aww such a cute service doggo! He looks pretty well trained :)

[@thepawswithpurpose]

thanks! he is lol

[@JasperTheServiceDemon]

Ok but like, thinking about things to make you late I do the same thing. If I have a meeting or something on my computer I am 30 mins early because I am worried about my computer messing up. And going places I think of traffic, how far it is, any emergency, what if someone is late getting ready, etc.

[@marikotheisen4385]

Your standard poople is probably way smarter and way cuter than the person that called him ugly... They are just jelous

[@thepawswithpurpose]

hahah i hope so😩

[@rosehinds3224]

also that rant was 👌 so good sow

[@asecretcourtofcrowsandcloc4084]

So great to have another video from you Stella. I was wondering how you were doing. Were you brushing fins teeth earlier and that blog? Wondered how you manage that, no a lot of dogs don’t like it. How did he do with the groomers? I heard pools can be hard to groom. It was really interesting what you mentioned about how do you find watching other peoples productive videos to be unhelpful for you since it makes you feel bad because I find it up and put me in a more productive mood but I think it’s so true that human nature to compare ourselves to one another and I think a lot of times it’s heightened when you have someone with a disability and someone without but disabilities aside everyone’s individual and everyone’s going through something and so I know it’s way easier said than done but it’s really important to not compare ourselves to other people because you don’t really know what it’s like to be bthem and we all have strengths and weaknesses no matter what our lives look like from the outside.

[@indie_theservicebagel]

Are you training Finn yourself? Im training my multi purpose service dog myself and loving it.

[@tatianafranceschi2024]

Hello I was just wondering what board and train you sent your dog to?

[@rachaelschneider20]

Finn is king 😩😩😩😋

[@thepawswithpurpose]

agreed tbh 😩

[@asecretcourtofcrowsandcloc4084]

Do you have any tips for working with your dog through sound sensitivity

[@mentallyy.sillyy]

If someone called my sd ugly, I would just say.. girly you can’t talk about beauty lookin like that, atleast my dog doesn’t look like a three legged pig on crack. No one better say anything about my sd in public or imma smack the heck outta them! It’s so rude and it’s just a dog like- you don’t have to start judging a dog because your an insecure person. Smh.

[@katieharbison9168]

I love you dog

[@thepawswithpurpose]

thank youuuu!!! :)

[@Godsgirl19915]

Where did you get his collar?

[@thepawswithpurpose]

i got the red one from CSJ creations on etsy! it's actually linked in the description box! :)
