My job involves visiting places where humans might be feeling a bit down – hospitals, nursing homes, even libraries during exam season. You wouldn’t believe the stress those students are under! But then, I arrive, a beacon of calm and drool, and suddenly, shoulders relax, smiles appear, and the sound of gentle petting fills the air.

It’s enriching. Though I must admit, the belly rubs are a significant perk. And the occasional dropped cracker? Pure professional dedication.

While my human laces up those weird paw covers and gets ready for another adventure, I’m already bouncing around because I know we’re going exploring! My tail is wagging so hard it might knock over a tree. But what happens if we run into something scary on the trail, like a squirrel that refuses to be chased?

Don’t worry – my human always brings water for both of us, and I’ve got my super nose to sniff out any trouble. Additionally, my long legs are ideal for stepping over rocks and logs. So, are we ready to sniff every single bush in the forest? The woods are calling my name, and I bet a million new smells are waiting for me around the corner! Maybe I’ll even find the perfect stick – one that’s almost as tall as me!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But doesn’t all that noise make you nervous?” Well, let me tell you something – I LOVE our movie nights! Sure, sometimes I get a little jumpy when I hear a doorbell sound on TV (because, obviously, I need to protect the house from fictional visitors), but mostly it’s awesome.

Music is pretty great too. I’ve got to admit, I’m not a massive fan of heavy metal – all that banging hurts my sensitive ears. But put on some nice jazz or classical music? Now we’re talking! It makes me feel relaxed and sophisticated, as if I’m wearing an invisible tuxedo.

The best part about TV time is snuggling with you on the couch. Yes, I know I’m basically the size of a small horse, but your lap looks so comfy! Don’t worry, I’ll just put one paw up there. Okay, maybe two paws. Fine, I’m basically sitting on you now, but isn’t this cozy?

What I really love is watching animal shows together. Those nature documentaries are fascinating! Though I do get confused when other dogs appear on screen. Where are they? Why can’t I smell them? Are they hiding behind the TV?

The key is picking the right stuff for us to enjoy together. I promise I’ll try not to howl along with the theme songs… but I make no guarantees about that one commercial with the squeaky toy sounds.
