Scully was a golden Dodger Dog who bled blue like mommy @sfvh5 & daddy @bbqwino. He knew he was cute & always wanted attention 24/7. Over the rainbow 10/1/24🌈

It's #NationalDogDay aka my day, but isn't every day. I'll have to be sure to get more treats today and extra attention.

The human said it’s time to decorate the Christmas Plant, so I took my job VERY seriously!

I carried every single ornament to the tree like a good Servicerotties do… including Kuno’s special stuffed fishie that still smells like him (Yes, I gave it extra kisses mid-mission, don’t judge me).

Baby Kenji mostly behaved… if you ignore the part where he tried to run off with the garland like it was the world’s longest spaghetti noodle. Rookie mistake, little bro.

At the end we sat for the official photo. I put my paw around him and whispered, “Listen up, tiny land-shark: you touch this tree and we’re gonna have words.” He looked at me like he totally understood. (He didn’t. Pray for me.)

Anyway, here’s your daily dose of Rottie holiday wholesomeness. If this made you smile, do a girl a solid—repost, quote, tag your friends, spam the heart button, whatever it takes. Let’s make the whole timeline believe in Christmas magic (and well-trained Rottweilers) again #ServicerottieChristmas #KunosFishieLivesOn #KenjiDontEatTheTree2025
#ChristmasWithKenji (if he doesn't destroy the house) and Chesnyy too!

Sometimes we get asked if our videos are AI.
Nope. It's me & my human in her wheelchair doing most of our videoing. While AI can make some really cute stuff, there's something pretty special about real dogs doing real things.

This makes me sick. You would think that someone would take accountability and actually train and implement accessibility. @CityofEdmonton really should be ashame of itself, but this had been going on far too long with no response, so clearly they don't care. Be better!

[Team Servicerottie🇨🇦🐕‍🦺🦽 @servicerotties]

Hi @CityofEdmonton and @YEGMayorOffice! Remember when you told us #Accessibility was a priority? It looks like you weren't telling the truth. We even made you a video explaining it.
A few hundred meters from our home is a pharmacy, a butcher, a store where I can get a carton of milk or loaf of bread, but for TEN DAYS they haven't been accessible because of city operations. Today is the first day we could safely get to the bus stop but we still can't get that extra little bit to those businesses.
Why? Well we waited the 3 days (already and unreasonably long time to go without access) the city gives themselves to clear this section of sidewalk, and then crew actually made it worse, creating impassable piles of snow blocking sections. They never came back to fix it. The 8°C weather finally did what your city managers couldn't do. Clear most of the snow. But your plow blocked half the sidewalk up ahead. The other side of the sidewalk is blocked by deep ruts in an alley that crosses the sidewalk. Technically that section of sidewalk would be the city's responsibility but it's never been cleared. It's almost like you want us to just take our wheelchairs on the road. In fact, if I order that milk or bread for delivery, you punish me with a $2 bag fee because of your single use plastics by-law. Weird how nowhere on the city website is there information on how to apply for an exemption as a bag for delivery would be a reasonable accommodation, especially when you're the reason I can't access the milk or bread.
I really look forward to your response.
I'd take the issue to my own city councilor but I don't believe @michaeljanz is capable of representing disabled constituents. He doesn't return calls about accessibility and he's openly promoted the exclusion of disabled people. So I'm counting on you, Mr. Sohi, to address the issue. You will be getting a personal invite to join me (I'll provide you with a wheelchair) to try to access the community and businesses so you can show me exactly how I can do that.

At the end of the sidewalk is a thick layer of slush. Across the street is a sidewalk with a narrow clear spot for walking as a huge pile of snow has been pushed onto it by a plow.

What the actual heck @CityofEdmonton ? You should be ashame of yourself. When will you change?

[Team Servicerottie🇨🇦🐕‍🦺🦽 @servicerotties]

Hey @cityofedmonton, I’d really appreciate if you could tell us why a service dog team was refused access on Public Transit yesterday? According to the handler they were on the Valley Line northbound LRT platform at 66th st & 38th Ave. When the train pulled in the driver announced over the loud speaker that dogs were not allowed. The dog was clearly identified as a service dog by it’s vest (although the provincial Service Dog Act does not require this) and the handler has a Province of Alberta Service Dog ID card. The driver wouldn't open the doors and the train drove off leaving the Service Dog team AND about 20 other passengers (witnesses) on the platform. That must have been an incredibly humiliating experience. The incident was reported to 311 and the operator questioned if the dog was vested, displaying a clear lack of training about Service Dog Legislation. I’d like to know why, if there was any question of the dog’s legitimacy, they were never asked for the Govt ID card? The incident has been reported directly to the director of the provincial Service Dog Program and I've offered to assist with filing a human rights complaint. This team trained with a government qualified service dog training organization I work with, so I have a personal interest in this and want answers.
This isn't the first Transit issue brought to me. A team recently shared how a bus driver loudly made the comment “if it's a REAL service dog it will sit” when the handler had the dog standing on a bus so it would be in a position to offer balance support as the handler was standing. Transit employees, like most other city departments, require training on disabilities, accomodations, and ableism. I've personally experienced driver’s that don't even lower the bus before dropping the ramp and have almost had a wheelchair tip over because of the grade. I've had driver’s intentionally engage with a service dog attempting to get it’s attention. City council members like @michaeljanz and @AshleyASalvador keep promoting Transit but continue to do nothing to address the issues the disabled community face trying to access and utilize it.
These issues could all have been prevented with proper training. I’ve asked you over 200 times to implement this! How many more times do people with disabilities have to be cut off from their community, be humiliated or discriminated against before something is actually done? It’s been a full week since I've been able to access businesses less than 250 meters from my home because of the city’s snow clearing policies. I've had rec centers that have no idea where their pool deck wheelchair is and have no appropriate surface for a person with a disability to get changed on. Tax dollars funded Janz's events where there was no accessible entrance!Many of us get penalized $2 a bag every time we order groceries because we can't pick up a box from a wheelchair, while using a walker or might be missing an arm. Your accessibility policy states the city is committed to identifying and removing barriers. I've done part of your job and identified a bunch for you. Now do your part and remove them.
Do we need to have a line of wheelchair users go down the road because we can't have winter sidewalk access? Would bringing 50 service dog teams to city hall with protest signs help motivate you? Personally, I don’t bother dealing with about 90% of access issues, barriers, ableist slurs etc that I encounter as there's so many and it's exhausting, but if need be we can start hitting 311 with each one and filing human rights complaint every time. I can assist other disabled community members in doing the same. Today, I'm going to ask everyone I know to reach out to the city on social media, DM council members, call, email, write etc and request that city immediately take steps to implement a disability training policy for all city employees, managers and council members, form a dedicated disability and accomodations team. Not next year. Now.

When your dog dies, part of your human heart dies with them.

That’s why it hurts so f-cking bad.

BUT- your next dog gives you some of their doggie heart and you heal.

If, at the end of your life, most of your heart is doggie heart, you have learned what love is.*
