I was asked today if I just registered Flirty online to make her my service horse, and explained it takes hundreds or even thousands of hours of training to "make" a service animal.

In the USA, those online registrations are nothing but money-grubbing scams. Per the ADA, there is no legally recognized registration or certification for a service animal.

Programs don't cross-train.

Normalize respecting that your friends are people too, with their own struggles and limitations.

Normalize asking friends if they have the emotional bandwidth to listen to you.

After a long day of training with my #servicedog friends, I stopped at the grocery store on the way home. I was picking out some pastries when I saw her. 1/ She was middle aged and fairly non-description. I don’t even remember her hair color. What I do remember is that she had the familiar pose of someone who was sneaking closer to take a picture, phone held ready.

In case you don’t know, taking pics of service animals is rude. 2/
