Hiya y'all, Gemini here. Kinda short video this time, but wanted to share anyway. We have some different videos of me in the courtroom during my girl's externship. Nothing was going on during any of these videos, so no worries there. There were actually only employees and/or my girl present during all of these clips, though my girl doesn't show anyone but me for some strange reason...😉 She also forgot to let me narrate the one where she thought I was nuts for the way I was laying with my head hanging down a little, but oh well. At least y'all get to see stuffs from real life! Stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So this is a mixture of fun clips for y'all to enjoy! First, my girl has to explain stuffs cause that's just her (and of course, I hafta look cute while she does), then a swimming clip from this crazy puppy in COLD water yesterday, followed by a couple of clips of Jaker training again and making sure Piper is de-sensitized to noises and stuffs. Finally, there's a goofy video of me being cute on my girl's lap, cause I love being silly and I love her so much. Hope y'all enjoy this and stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So here's some brief clips of our first couple days at my girl's externship when we're actually there in-person. Sadly, we won't get more of these for over a week because her supervising Judge is going on vacation next week, but we'll see what we are allowed to get after that. Our first morning going into the courthouse was fun with a full road blocked due to an accident, so LOTS of flashing lights and stuff as we walked into the building. And then, some story time that was funny plus a short blurb of the metal detector the next day. Hope y'all enjoy and stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#KongBox Hiya y'all, Gemini here! Sorry again for another delay, we have been BUSY, or at least my girl has! So here is the newest Kong Box review, plus some silly rambling from my girl (I love her, don't get me wrong, but she can be silly at times as hard as she is on herself). Oh, and an introduction that she meant to make sooner but we're glad to make now at any rate! New little thing, well, she isn't so little already, but she is a total sweetie and a good girl! Hopefully we'll get some more videos of her along the way - my girl was saying something about cream-colored carpet and a dog that sheds like CRAZY (her hair comes out in little tufts everywhere, and she has no hair or skin issues, just how she sheds...), but I'll do what I can to convince my girl to get as much video as she can with or without those hair tufts on the floor. 😁 Can't believe my girl could even grab her attention with me "helping," especially since she hasn't worked major distractions yet, but was cool to see she's already picked up lots in a short time! We are also, as promised for his help with the camera, including her 18-year-old's YouTube link at the bottom. He asked if we would so he could see if y'all wanna watch his stuff as well - totally up to y'all but we promised so it will be at the bottom of this description. Stay safe and sane, y'all! Hopefully we'll see you sooner than the gaps between these videos! ☺️💜🐾 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLkbBnl7Q3KQfyG21lsIU2g/videos

Hiya y'all, Gemini again! Got another video up quick this time, though I'm not in it a lot, oh well. 😉🐾 That being said, it IS important info, and there's a story at the end about Aslan as well (before my time, hmph lol)! Thank y'all for watching and stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#KongBox #hesnotreallyahorse Hiya y'all, Gemini here! Sorry for the huge delay, been a little busy lately. Here is a combo of a bunch of stuffs, including the new Kong Box we just got today and then my girl being raw and honest about some Service Dog training. Oh, and a fun story time, too! Hope y'all enjoy! We'll try to upload more very soon! Stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#KongBox Hiya y'all, Gemini here. Here's another Kong Box, not sponsored of course! And my girl messed up a little, Christmas is SEVEN days from today, not eight, yikes it's close! Oh well, hope y'all enjoy this. And please don't hesitate to holler with questions if we can ever answer them. Have an amazing holiday season, y'all! Stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So here's our latest Kong box, another winner as per usual! And I know my girl mentioned possibly putting a short video of the little guy in his costume on this video but she wanted to go ahead and upload this before we headed to a trunk or treat, so we'll try to grab that video and just add a short video in his costume later. Hope y'all enjoy and stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So, here's a LONG video for you! My girl thoroughly enjoyed waving all these weird things in front of our faces today, sheesh! But, as you see, no big deal. We might sniff here and there, but that's it and we back off when told to if we actually sniff at all. And this was my first time actually in a Halloween store as well, but my girl said she was super proud of both of us! Apologies ahead of time for some of the weird camera work as my girl walked to and from grabbing things to show us. Really important note here - you will see the fun my girl had with this spider that was jumping AT us (and at others depending on who was walking by/activating it). First, it was funny when she jumped and subsequently the camera jumped when she was trying to get it to do just that while she filmed us. Second, you'll notice on one video for both Wato and me that we jumped a little as we walked by the spider jumping at us - you will ALSO notice that NEITHER of us broke our heel, even when jumping some from that crazy thing! As my girl has said many times and will say many more I'm sure, we're still dogs. There is this big thing jumping at us, it's totally normal to react like most of the humans that walked by the stupid thing, as long as we can handle it and keep going. My girl says she was REALLY proud of both of us for how we handled that weird thing! I was off-leash as usual and still didn't break my heel, even though it made me jump otherwise. Today definitely shows great examples both of good training techniques and that dogs are dogs no matter how well-trained we are, but that training takes over in the end. Enjoy and stay safe and sane, y'all! ☺️💜🐾 And for the record, apologies if my girl forgets to choose the thumbnail for videos and we end up with weird thumbnails lol.

Hiya y'all, Gemini here! Here is another day in public access while training Wato (ok, my girl is training him, I'm just there to help or offer moral support or something like that...). Not the same exposure to a food place with Starbucks this time, but that's ok, we'll do a fast-food place with him in a couple weeks according to my girl. NEXT week with Wato is going to be the Halloween store, which should be interesting! There's a small snippet around Halloween decorations in this video but most is regular public access. You get to see Wato alert on his handler at one point in here as well. Y'all will probably get a kick outta my lack of urgency when laying down at times - it's a LONG way down there, just for the record! 😉 Hope y'all enjoy! Stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here. So my girl found out about the new rules (actually regulations under the CFR but most don't know what that is, her and her silliness sometimes...) the DOT just put out regarding Service Animals on airplanes and she is HOT! First of all, under the ADA, the two allowed animals for Service Animals are dogs and miniature horses. My girl knows several Service Miniature Horses that have flown without issue on airlines. That is no longer allowed under the new rules, which is pure discrimination. There are several other issues that she discusses (read that as rants about...) in this video, as well as a couple parts of the new rules that she is very pleased with. Other than a couple areas though, these new rules are very discriminatory and she is already working on taking action and working with others to do the same to fix this. Remember to keep things positive, please - discussion in the comments is welcome and encouraged, but going negative in the discussion will be removed. Hope y'all enjoy her ranting and please be willing to speak out about things like this! We have come a long way in the disability access laws in the last 20-30 years, but this shows we still have a long way to go! Stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here! Hey, we got another video up quick! 😁 So, here is some public access with two of my girl's clients (they are both still in training of course). Wato is a Siberian Husky with a little bit of Malamute in him and has been training with my girl for about a year now, BUT he had not been out or trained at all for about 6 months due to quarantine and some health concerns in his family due to the virus stuffs. And no, Wato is not stress panting, he always pants like that, whether in public or asleep at home. This was his first trip to Target after his first time back in training last Monday and he did AWESOME! Of course, I was there to help my girl and supervise...😉 Y'all have seen Jaker fairly recently - he just turned 8 months old and has just started going into vest for short time periods and is also doing amazing! For anyone that wonders, it's usually a minimum of 12 months of training that goes into a Service Dog going into service full-time, usually more like 18 months or more. So these guys are getting there - my girl says they are both doing great given their training time and some of their quirks (like the SUPER stubborn husky lol). At any rate, hope y'all enjoy! Hopefully we can keep getting videos posted more consistently! Stay safe and sane, y'all! ☺️💜🐾

#KongBox Hiya y'all, Gemini here! Sorry about the delay, my girl has been way busier this term than she expected! So, here is a video that is all sorts of things! First, today (Sep. 18) is my BIRTHDAY, I am TWO years old already! So we're gonna celebrate that even though the video was taken before then by uploading this video (also not about my birthday but that's ok). I won't give away the introducing thing, but I will say that my girl thought she had not given a name when she actually had, silly girl. And then, our most recent Kong Box review, always one of my favorites! Hope y'all are staying safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#KongBox Hiya y'all, Gemini here! Sorry for the delay and quiet, my girl has been dealing with finals and had a paper due in lieu of a final for one class. And then, she has her big paper/ADA Service Dog guide due for her last summer class next Friday, so fun fun! BUT, her schedule is WAY lighter this coming Fall term, so we plan to get LOTS more video for y'all! Of course, she's still online for classes, but being less busy means we can get out and about more as well, so we'll get lots of video no matter what! Hope y'all enjoy this, we really like the Kong box, my girl says it is very worthwhile and of course Aslan and I love the toys and treats in them...😁 Enjoy the video and see y'all soon, with more consistent updates SOOOOOON as well! Stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#WMUCooleyLawSchool #KongBox Hiya y'all, Gemini again! First of all, apologies for less videos recently - between our trip and then my girl having review week this week and finals for this school term next week, she has been a little busy (and I can't do all this by myself, not enough control of my paws...😉). We will get back to more content once finals are over and we should be able to upload more often with her WAY less busy schedule next term! Fair warning on this video, my girl gets on a soapbox a couple of times from our airplane trip! This was actually filmed before we uploaded the flight video as well, she just forgot to add it as well, so enjoy! Please stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#WMUCooleyLawSchool Hiya y'all, Gemini here. So, this is from my FIRST airplane trip and also my first bus ride in the shuttle bus to the rental car places. :) As usual, this isn't edited, though it's in a bunch of short blurbs. My girl said that my first ever landing was probably THE hardest airline landing she has ever had, as you can tell by the camera jumping around during that landing. BUT, my girl was super proud of me! She said my reactions were normal and they got better as we went. She missed catching the last landing on camera, but she said I did a little better on that one than the first landing. And THEN, when we got back in town yesterday, I barely reacted at all on those flights (didn't catch those on camera either, she was EXHAUSTED from the trip) on takeoff and landing. Hope y'all enjoy! Stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#WMUCooleyLawSchool Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So, my girl called me outside to see this THING! It was WEIRD! It actually jumped away from me once before my girl grabbed her phone, which TOTALLY freaked me out! Apparently I was being REALLY cute before she grabbed her phone to record, as I kept leaning into the frog and then pulling back and she thought the way I was doing it was adorable...silly girl! Just for the record, I have ZERO prey drive, but my girl was still very careful to watch me with the little critter so neither of us got hurt. As y'all have seen through our videos, I am super gentle, which I was here again, so nobody gets to grump about this, please and thank you! Stay safe and sane, y'all, and enjoy! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here. Here is ANOTHER video of me as a little thing (ok, relatively speaking, I was 20 lbs when my girl got me). And sorry about the camera being up and down on some of this, she hadn't planned on anything for YouTube at that point. For anybody that is curious, yes, there is another Great Dane in some of these videos. That is Apollo, he was a pet and my girl absolutely ADORED him as well! Unfortunately, after moving out of Grand Rapids closer to the lake, we no longer had a fenced yard and Apollo was REALLY good at bolting out the door when it was opened, leash or no leash. My girl worked with him (around law school and other family craziness), but could not trust him enough to not bolt like that. He even went missing for 4 whole days, in the WINTER here (there was snow on the ground at the time)! We got him back, but my girl was not willing to risk him getting hurt or worse any longer, so she ended up re-homing him to a couple of college girls that have been AMAZING with him (she gets updates on him at times). This was a REALLY tough choice for her, but it was the right one for Apollo, so she did what was best for him. So NO hate or grumping or stuff about that, as it was really hard on her and he is in a great place where there is a yard and stuffs. Enjoy and stay safe and sane!

Hiya y'all, Gemini again. Of course, my girl has to put me on the spot and upload this and another one coming up of me as a little thing! Little shorter on this one, but she seems to like it, silly girl. This is the day my girl got me, that night actually. And sorry about the camera being up and down on some of this and the next video, she hadn't planned on anything for YouTube at that point. Enjoy and stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#BarkBox Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So the beginning is an update with BarkBox, then a short blurb regarding the GnawBox from Amazon, and then a review of PupBox's latest box! I won't spoil the video by telling you what we thought of them, so enjoy the video! Also, my girl has gathered some video of me when I was TINY (ok, compared to now at least) - she just needs to get those combined into a couple of videos and posted. Enjoy and hope y'all are staying safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#WMUCooleyLaw Hiya y'all, Gemini again! So this is a mix of a bunch of stuff video! Starts and ends with some public access, but all sorts of other stuff as well! So first is at the doctor with my girl and her 18-year-old, then just being a dog at home for a couple of clips, then there are two clips of the English Mastiff SDIT my girl is training for a veteran. Please bear in mind he was not even 5 months old in this video (just turned 5 months old this week and this was a couple of weeks ago) - AMAZING puppy! And then there is a short video of me with my girl getting a pedicure and a longer video of the pedicure time. Now, before anybody starts being a pain...at the end of the first short clip at the pedicure, you see me jump up when someone rolls towards me with a chair. My girl wanted to point out two things here - first, no matter how well-trained we are, we are still dogs and can be startled like that. Second, I am allowed to be petted in vest, so no complaining there either. The guy had previously asked and gotten permission and I will walk away from being petted to alert, so my girl allows it at times (which I love, of COURSE!). One last thing...apparently I annoy my girl just slightly in this...when she doesn't have the camera on, I will "talk" to her at times, as we are a vocal breed and I know when I can talk to her and when I can't. The annoying part is that, for some reason when she turns the camera on, the "talks" turn to whines. I obviously hush when told to, but for anybody that wants to complain about it, apparently I know when the camera is on versus not. Oh well, I still take GREAT care of her, just so y'all know! ☺️💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini here! Sorry about the slight delay on videos, iMovie was NOT cooperating with my girl to export videos where they were usable. Then, suddenly, it worked today. Weird but oh well! So this is me at the airport for the very first time, and of COURSE my girl puts me RIGHT beside the baggage claim belt while it was RUNNING! She says I did well, especially for the first time. And then some other stuff at the airport, like other dogs wandering around and even barking at me. For anybody that wants to be negative, we already mentioned this is my first time at any airport. This was also after a 3-hour drive down to Midway Airport, so there's always a little bit of antsy-ness after a drive like that. And we literally went from the car (we got dropped off right by the door of baggage claim) into the airport right away. Plus, this whole time (and exponentially stronger once we got INTO said airport), my girl's emotions were NUTS. Not gonna explain why, family stuff, but I could feel ALL of that. Her emotions have NEVER been that insane around me, so I was balancing all of this at the same time. She said she was super proud of how I balanced it all! We didn't get it on camera, but I alerted right after we left the airport as well! 😁💜🐾

Hiya y'all, Gemini again. So I'm not in this one, but Aslan is! Y'all saw my reaction to going into Lake Michigan...yeah, no comment! 😉🐾 But Aslan LOVES the lake and LOVES chasing his bumper! My girl and her son had to eventually stop throwing the bumper cause Aslan was exhausted but wanted to keep going, silly boy! So enjoy, hope this brings a smile to your day! Just so y'all know, her son was thinking about getting into the lake, but the water temp was 60 degrees Fahrenheit this day and the outside air temp was about 70. He probably would have been ok in the sun, as it heats the sand well, but there was also a strong wind that day. So he just threw the bumper for Aslan and wandered along the beach! Enjoy and stay safe and sane! ☺️💜🐾

#BarkBox Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So my girl was less than impressed with our second Super Chewer box from Bark Box, but please watch til the end, cause she also talks about a really great customer service experience with them! And of course, the last part has me being cute and cuddly and stuffs! 😁💜🐾 Also, please be on the lookout for probably three more videos this week, hopefully anyway! She has one of Aslan, her retired Service Dog, one that is a conglomeration with me doing stuffs, and she STILL needs to post me at Chicago-Midway Airport, cause I think I did kinda alright for my first trip to an airport and stuffs! Stay safe and sane, y'all!

#WMUCooleyLaw Hiya y'all, Gemini here! So the first part of this is while at my girl's 18-year-old's eye appointment, and the second part is him taking us out for supper to Olive Garden (I didn't get to order any food there, imagine that...). Now that things are opening up more, we get to get out to different places slightly more. That being said, my girl's school already announced that this Fall semester's classes will also be totally online, so she's kinda bummed about that. Without going to school for classes, we won't get out as much as we would on campus, but it's definitely great to get out some more at least! And we haven't been IN an actual restaurant to sit down and eat in probably at least 5 months, so she was proud of how I did without any practice in so long. And it was tight quarters for me as well! But always worth it to be with my girl and take care of her! ☺️ Hope y'all enjoy! 💜🐾
