TEACHING ABOUT SERVICE DOGS IN A SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM!

[@thefreylife]

I had such a fun time “visiting” this special education classroom! And I’m so glad the video worked out so YOU could go with me :)

[@brynnejewell1275]

What an awesome opportunity! You were fantastic Mary, a natural with kids.😊

[@RhondaBlanchard]

That was amazing!

[@callabeth258]

What age group was the class?

[@ryankait1234]

It literally made me tear up seeing your excitement and love speaking to that class. We are so lucky that God decided your path should include all of us!

[@Jamie_Winsh]

That's even more people educated about something that we need to spread awareness about. Not just CF of course but understanding people who are 'different'

[@debcochran6108]

I shared this with you before....As a former special education teacher and student teacher supervisor....you have the gift of teaching. What a special treat and lesson you shared with those kids.

[@sonialandry1039]

Mary! You were ‘lit up ‘ talking and teaching the students! I loved it!

[@tabbylynn4130]

Mary would be such a good teacher. She is so passionate.

[@LindaAsmus]

You are a natural born teacher. Impressive.

[@beverlysettle1084]

Mary, you are a natural. I am sure the students went home and talked about you and Ollie for hours! Nicely done.

[@janineschindler2966]

All 3 of my kids were in special education and I know all of them would have loved that kind of day having a zoom with Ollie and you. So cool. I love it.

[@sheilalopez7498]

Mary you are excellent with children. X

[@IMChrysalis]

The kids loved it too, Mary! They asked really good questions, too! How fun!

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Mary, this might be your calling, teaching everything about CF, including products, medicines and training dogs. You’re gifted in relating knowledge to others. 🥰❤️🌺🦮🐾🐾

[@jamiesingleton3909]

You were so perfect in this video Mary, and Ollie. You were so engaging and wonderful at explaining things in an understandable way!

[@txangel922]

Mary your smile was infectious during the class.

[@Hallz18]

Mary you’re so sweet! I really enjoy witnessing you teach others about CF/Service dogs!

[@bethbacon1968]

Mary that was SO SO wonderful!!!

[@cindygartner157]

That was such a special thing for you to be able to do and you were fantastic! I think that this could be something fun and educational that you could do at various schools.

[@charlottegerman7443]

Mary, you are such a great teacher!

[@hollyosgerby1901]

What a wonderful video, Mary! You and Ollie were AMAZING!! What an opportunity to educate those kids on what it is like having a service dog. They sounded pretty excited and had lots of questions for you! Bless you! 🤗❤️❤️🙏🏼😘🐕🐱

[@marilan8154]

Mary, You are just great at teaching kids! That was so much fun for me so I can imagine it was a blast for you. What a blessing for those kids!

[@laurenbahr3556]

That was so special for you to be able to teach the kids about service dogs. My sister had golden retrievers that were trained as service dogs. I think they are so awesome and it is incredible how smart they are. Give Ollie Boy a kiss and hug for me. You did such a great job, Mary. Have a great evening and hugs and kisses to Harry also. ❤❤🐶🐶🐱🐱

[@floorboardss]

This is so awesome and heartwarming, Mary - I can really tell that you were in your element! What a kind and articulate teacher you are! 😊

[@kareninva7097]

Mary you are amazing you could have been a teacher TFS.

[@why1itsme]

And with Zoom she could be safe!

[@lindagordon2885]

Mary, you’re a pro! You are so articulate, enthusiastic, and informative! I LOVED today’s vlog!❤️

[@jmleeinla]

Oh Mary you are so wonderful with the children. My son is autistic and when he was a little guy we owned a Shetland Sheepdog that was trained for many things but his must special job was to go to my sons classes and help the kids get over their fear of dogs. He was a very special guy. When a dog is born for service you truly see gods love in their eyes.

[@mistymint7983]

Your a born teacher, well done Mary ❤️

[@oldnorthstateparanor]

You would be an awesome teacher! I have taught in Special Ed in WCPSS for 21 years and you are a natural. I wish you could present to our class sometime! Our kids would love you.

[@MsBrat1967]

This is so much fun for you Mary and right up your alley.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Mary you’re a natural teacher

[@curlybibliophagist2]

Mary, you are an amazing person and a great advocate.

[@patsyparkin3536]

You did a wonderful job, Mary. As a long-time teacher, I know that most adults speak over the kids' heads and lose their interest. You were absolutely engaging. I think teaching must be your calling.

[@janeharford6129]

This is so special......glad to see you are still able to use Ollie in teaching...

[@hollymcknight8581]

I graduated with my fifth guide dog on March 14 of this year. These types of presentations are some of my most favorite things to do with my dogs. I am hoping to be able to speak in some classrooms this year once the pandemic calms down. Thank you for sharing your presentation :-)

[@Catfisherman_722]

My bray is March 14

[@karendeakin9628]

My granddaughter is profoundly deaf and is about to have service dog she is so excited you were brilliant at that Mary my little Isla would have loved that talk as she’s now got cochlear implants and is responding well to them

[@deannaa2297]

I'm glad your granddaughter is doing well, I hope for her sake she is also learning sign language :)

[@kareng6998]

You are amazing ... both of you! Mary your presentation was so beautiful and engaging. The pacing was perfect. Oliver was terrific.

[@patriciasmith8205]

Wow Mary that was so good and interesting. My husband has diabetes, he is insulin dependent, and partly sighted so I will see if we are entitled to have a dog, to help him get around...

[@patriciasmith8205]

@kayla’s Life Thank you so much, for letting me know...

[@redlisab1]

We enjoyed learning bout Ollie too

[@outoftheklosset]

Me too!

[@traceyricardo1506]

So awesome Mary for you to be invited to do that for the kids !!

[@BureauKat]

Mary, you explain things using plain language so well!

[@NJlovessinging]

God is using you dear Mary!

[@BNHAalltheway]

Mary You and Ollie were great I'm sure the kids loved learning what service dogs do and seeing cute Ollie

[@lifeinashell3778]

You would so make an awesome teacher for little ones. I'm glad you get the chance to do things like this. I'm sure those kiddies enjoyed learning about Ollie.

[@k.pep.1253]

Ollie!!! What a good boy!!! Good job helping Mary with the presentation!! But he rrrreaallly wanted a nap Lol!

[@sylviarogalla-bradler3243]

Dear Mary, very well done. You did such a good Job.i am really impressed .Best wishes sylvie

[@amandagray9871]

My cousin was severely disabled and was in special education. She would have loved your presentation, and Ollie.

[@sarahdewberry7229]

Another wonderful videos from my Frey fam!

[@NicoleSams614]

Had a scare last month and I thought I was going to have to retire Pippi and shes only 5. Thankfully shes better now but it was hard. So glad ollie still loves his vest so cute

[@laurab68707]

You did an awesome job with the class!!

[@outoftheklosset]

Who deserves a treat after this? Oliver!🐶❤️😂

[@Grahamcracker6366]

You have the perfect teacher voice.

[@maddycorrasa]

Good job Mary and ollie

[@jonki1980]

Mary, you have such brilliant explanations for everyone, adjusting seamlessly for your audience, its wonderful to see. Fabulous 👍

[@siljeborgan4531]

I love this Mary ❤️ You should be a teacher 🥺🥰

[@suzanneparmenter1478]

Mary you should have been a teacher. You came across so well xx

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

You’re a natural teacher, Mary! Maybe we can find a way for you to “visit9 my Guides on one Monday! xxxxxxxx

[@jackiecosta7620]

I enjoyed watching you (Mary) teach the class ... I m sure you gained lots of satisfaction from that experience. I think you should reach out yourself to other schools even if you teach this way once in a while. Oliver was so cooperative! ps.. have you thought about the stair lift... there may be a free donation out there...

[@natashak1439]

Oh my goodness Mary! You are a fantastic teacher. I really enjoyed watching you. Way to go! When I was in school I was in special education classes and down the road I plan to apply for a service dog. I was telling my Mom about how you say strrrreeettcchh to Ollie and Harry. When I said it my cat Big Mike was right there and stretched. Haha! Lol! Keep up the good work. Love and hugs from Florida!

[@briannahnilo2666]

I have to tell you Mary you did a wonderful amazing job at explaining to many people in the world on why you have a service mobility dog, and actually when you were showing off the one harness, it did kind of remind me of a guydog harness, I will not lie, but I completely understood where you went with the situation, in terms of explaining it.

[@destaniemacmillan9424]

I loved this video. How many times have you got to teach.

[@whatadayrose1244]

great job Mary! :) You did such a great job with that class :)

[@Dinopoodles]

You are very good at this! Great job Mary and Ollie !

[@morganf4378]

This is awesome to see! I'm actually teaching about service dogs at a disability education club at my university tonight. I would love to teach kids one day about service dogs. I love kids! (I havea brown standard poodle SD). 🥰

[@amandagray9871]

Btw, I learned a little bit about mobility dogs too!

[@maryharte2551]

Great Mary getting the info out about CF and service dogs

[@SilverofPhoenixForce]

Well done with your presentation to the special education students I’m 38 and I loved it Thank you mary for reassuring me that I maybe able to apply for a mobility service dog I do hope you think about another service dog you went well with Ollie boy and I think you would keep going strong again with another

[@Paula_Limberg]

What an exciting video! Could you do a day in the life of Ollie? I'd love to know how he keeps his mind entertained! 💛

[@mawelrate]

This is so helpful. Hope we could send you free tether ball for your dog to play with ❤️

[@lilyc.3724]

I love that Mary is great with kids and I love listening to the teaching about service dogs!

[@dawnmontgomery5180]

I enjoyed this video great job Mary"

[@michelle10261]

Hi Mary, and oly. Very interacting subject. Thank you for your vlog from Michelle in Australia. I have COPD and I struggle every day with my lungs. Not as bad as your CF. Are you ever going get another service dog.

[@karenwood9593]

You are such a great teacher. Your warmth and love shine through.

[@marytaylor8758]

Great job!!!

[@simba0309]

You did awesome. You'd be a great teacher!

[@carolynlong9148]

Mary I think you did awesome. I'm a special ed kid and I now work in special ed. I'm in the process of going back to work in special ed. I can relate to the kids because hay I have special needs too. I remember when those Ollie dogs came out with the little working vest. I have a special needs doll name Isabella she had Downs Syndrome. I wanted one of those Ollie dogs for her. Even though Isbella isn't real Downs kids in real life might need a buddy. Thanks for sharing you're teaching Mary and as all ways I will see you tomorrow god bless.

[@eej1983able]

I love watching you speak to students, Mary and Peter! Bless you guys!

[@eduardopadilla5505]

How you do Mary to find people who could be interested in your educational chats or conferences? Im very interested about it because maybe i could begin doing it!

[@stjernoga]

Great job 💕

[@caprialnichols7659]

Loving the vlogs keep it up Mary And Peter

[@triplej2496]

I like these types of videos and Mary, I think you should be a Teacher. Try VIPKID 😀

[@lizdowning6134]

You looked like you were really in your element 😊

[@denisejones1863]

Mary even if Ollie is retired, I think he should go out with you and Peter more. Take him to the store or to the park etc. Why can't he come as long as you don't put weight on him? He is still a working dog because he is always looking out for you.

[@dorothyhatcher4714]

Mary I agree with you. I noticed Ollie really needs attention he seems depressed. I just don’t notice him getting any attention, except being walked. He just lays on couch too much,I’ve had lots of wellloved dogs so I know what I see

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

Mary & Peter where did you get the seat belt harness for Olli ....I was just in a car accident with my service dog Freyja ...she's a Bloodhound....I hit a deer ...she went flying off the seat .....she hurt her leg .....the seat belt I bought her a few months ago was way to small for her ....thank you so much

[@drewharris7785]

Super cool video about what sounds like a super cool experience. How old were the students you taught?

[@Elizabeth-tf9gb]

Are you planning on getting another sd prospect, and you did amazing!!

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Pretty cool video. Mary you are a natural educator. Too bad you can’t go into the schools and take him with you like you could before the Big C happened. Really enjoyed!

[@annieb3359]

Goodness I love Special Education ❤️

[@amandagray9871]

I love Ollie! I want to get a mobility dog, as I have a brain pressure problem that causes me to fall. I really hurt myself falling down stairs once, right before I was diagnosed. And now Lupus is causing me great pain in my muscles and joints. Do you have any info as to how you can start the process?

[@mmaddox45scarlett]

YOU FORGOT ONE SOUND ALERT SD . PEACE LOVE & HOPE. PUSH

[@outoftheklosset]

It was great learning about the squeaky voice! I have a really high pitch voice and I see service dogs at my Dr's offices and I'll talk with the owners but not the dog bc they're working but I wonder how my high voice affects them. Do I need to try to modulate my voice around them??

[@Dogsoverpeople]

I can tell how happy this made Ollie ❤️ He sure misses working!

[@laurenmichelle9678]

Mary will you be thinking of getting another service dog now that Ollie is retired?

[@BilingualBookworm]

That was one of my favourite videos ever (you did such a great job, Mary!!) but we didn’t get an “as always”!!! 😩😩😩

[@carolw569]

Will you get another service dog? Would Ollie be jealous if you do?

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

Mary you did an amazing job with this!!!

[@simplysandee6281]

You were fantastic! Can I ask... do you need supplemental oxygen ever? What kind of oxygen saturation do you have?

[@rachelcarl9009]

Mary you are a Amazing Teacher

[@LWeideman1]

What a great job you and Ollie did!

[@mistycgrimm1]

You are an amazing teacher to the young and not so young!

[@dinahakim7114]

You are so amazing with those kids You are so amazing with those kids Mary.

[@alexandrak8441]

That was great! I am amazed how you can adjust to your audience and the engaging way.
