As a proud U.S. Army veteran, Iโve always found it incredibly hard to ask for help. We are trained to be self-sufficient and handle our own battles. But today, I am putting my pride aside for the companion who stood by me through everything. My loyal emotional support dog, Mika, recently passed away. She wasn't just a pet; she was my constant shadow, my anchor, and the reason I could navigate the daily challenges that come after service. Losing her has left a massive, quiet void in my life, and being without that support is a hurdle I never wanted to face alone. Starting over is incredibly difficult. Finding, training, and bringing home a new emotional support puppy to help me continue healing requires a significant financial hurdle. Iโve started a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of bringing a new support companion home. My target goal is $3,500 to help secure a puppy, cover the essential emotional support training, and handle the initial veterinary care. If you are a fellow veteran, a dog lover, or someone who believes in the power of a service companion, please consider reading our story, sharing this post, or donating if you are able. Every single share breaks through the noise and helps me get one step closer to bringing home a new anchor. Thank you for standing by those who served. https://t.co/5KFOccZI8h

A massive, heartfelt thank you to Timothy Ortiz for stepping up as my very first donor! It is incredibly humbling to see the support start coming in. Setting aside my pride to ask for help wasnโt easy, but seeing this immediate kindness reminds me that Iโm not walking this road alone. Every dollar and every single share gets me closer to bringing home a new female Aussie puppy and getting that essential support system back in my life. Thank you for having my back and keeping Mika's memory alive. https://t.co/hZTHxgsVc6 #Veterans #AustralianShepherd #SupportDog #GoFundMe

I hate asking for help, but Iโm facing a gap I can't bridge alone. I'm an Army vet who just lost my 24/7 emotional support Aussie, Mika, who helped me manage PTSD. Trying to raise funds to bring home and train my next shadow. #Military#codeofvets https://t.co/5iquoooWRK

Human traffickers. Drug Smugglers. 18th Street Gang members. Spent the morning in Phoenix with our brave @ICEgov and Arizona law enforcement arresting these dirtbags and getting them off of our streets.
Practice makes perfect! Team GLOCKโs Thy Ngo putting in the reps at a local match before the season kicks off. How are you training this week?
