As a service dog handler, I’ve had my fair amount of tense conversations with people who aren’t aware of service dog laws, or maybe people who doubt my need for a service dog since I “look so normal”... so I was in utter shock about the amazing conversation I had on Tuesday with a restaurant employee! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I had a conversation with a family who wanted to get a service dog for their daughter who had PTSD and it was awesome how welcoming they were to the wealth if info. They didn't know that registrations were scams and I was able to send them to some good facebook groups.
The Frey Life love you all so much
You have taught me a LOT about service dogs, and I feel like I understand a lot better now, and I'll even teach ppl what I've learned from you. So thank you!!🐕🐶🐾 #OllieBoy
A very intelligent man....kudos, Tony
The Frey Life many years ago I did consider just paying a fee and faking my dog was service animal because my anxiety is also more controlled when she's around... Mainly because she gets so anxious I can focus on keeping her calm. I'm so glad I didn't! Since I've found you guys 2 years ago this August, I have very much enjoyed learning about this situation. And I can say I have educated people about this issue when they tell me to just "put a vest and patch on her and you can take her anywhere". Thanks to you guys I always have an educated answer to give them on how that is wrong. So thank you :)
I've noticed Peter doesn't get mentioned in many comments so I wanted to say that Peter , you are amazing at taking care of Mary and editing the vlog and all of the other things you have to juggle, thank you Peter for being so supportive to the community and I admire your strength a lot. As for Mary and Oliver you are also very strong and amazing as well I just wanted to make sure Peter gets the recognition he deserves and doesn't frequently receive. Don't forget to be greatfull, mindful, and wonderful and take it one step at a time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I also noticed Peter does not get mentioned much in the comments, so sometimes I make it a point to mention Peter. Thanks for thinking of Peter.
Amelia Swiatek Yes Peter. Mary is blessed to have you. Lucky girl.
"But aren't we all kinda gimpy ducks around here?" - Mary Frey 2018 😂
I love how Ollie was like “I’d sure like a treat right now... I know, I’ll take them the whole bag!” And it worked!
I am so glad that the Restaurant manager came up to you and asked you to educate him about service dog. That is so cool. There are actually good people out there....somewhere! I just loved how Ollie was pulling out his toys. So cute! He is a good dog! :)
Wow, that's a conversation people would hope for but never expect. With so many things people can be rude because they simply don't want to know or they don't understand.
Thats awesome how he asked!!! Just the other day, a guy threatened to shut down a store if I didn't leave because of my Service dog.. I explained to him how that's discrimination and that he can't do that.. He did say that he gets alot of fake SDs. So I explained his rights, like basically if a human can't do it, a dog can't do it. If a dog licks food then he can ask them to leave. But I Exexpained my dogs doing nothing of the sorts he's doing everything he is supposed too, so I explained he can't ask him To leave just because he's a dog. Then when I sat down (out of the way) to have my dog task, he was all like "Are u going to shop? " I was like umm my dogs tasking and my group was shopping... It was ridiculous! I wish more people would just ask to be educated instead of jumping to conclusions!
I'm a new subscriber who just came across your channel and I love it!
I love that you, Peter, and Oliver are all able to stay positive despite your struggles.
As a fellow service dog handler, I'm so glad you had such a great interaction!! I wish there were most people like Tony in the world!
It is a great compliment on Ollie that he felt you guys were knowledgeable enough to ask that. Probably wouldn’t have if Ollie wasn’t acting wonderfully.
That is awesome! As another service dog handler (mobility also), I love when I get the good questions. It is a pleasure to answer them.
Oh my goodness! Ollie bringing his treats over was soooo cute!! It was like a kid asking his mama for a snack haha!
I’m so glad you had such an amazing day yesterday! I’m sure it helped after the discouraging news from your appt. Seize the day!!
I think the hinting was strong with Oliver and wanting play/treats.
It is so refreshing to find such respectful people in this world!
Oh my gosh I’m so excited to hear the good news with the manager! I’m currently working on a letter to the AKC because of something they published lately. I love how kind he was and that you were given such a fabulous opportunity to really educate him and then even talk about the website as well. You both are in my heart and prayers with the impending surgery. It’s such a good thing that you’re able to get it done so you can live your best life. :)
Hope all is well. I had to put my sweet dog down this morn. My heart hurts. Love you both. 💖
sorry for you loss that is very tough.
Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you.
So sorry for your loss.
So so sorry for your loss. It is a tough and truly heartbreaking decision to have to make.
So sorry! Very hard thing to do. Sending supportive vibes.
I always give respect to those who have service dogs, we have friends that have service dogs and they always let me know when they are 'working' and when they aren't, so I can give some love to their dog. What a great experience you had! 🤗🐾
I just loved hearing about this amazing interaction with the manager! This is so awesome!! 😍🙌🏻
That was a great interaction! Peter, you are very special. Mary, you have such a warm smile and are so genuine.
I needed this after the sad passing of an elderly coworker i had been sort of close to at work...we never hung out outside of work. Ollie and his toys are so cute and I love a happy story
Erin Sorry for your loss!
The way he asked you is also a very good/polite way to make someone who is abusing service dog laws squirm a little bit, too!
Having an appetite is so hard when you're struggling with health issues! Glad you had a good appetite and could enjoy your time in the city😍😍😍
I’m so used to hearing bad about service dogs it was nice to hear something good. Thanks for sharing.
Peter is the sweetest guy ever
We have an abundance of people taking advantage! Dogs barking, alerting on the doorbell, staring at your dinner...etc
They can't say anything but i can & do!
Mary, my prayers are with you. I have been in and out of the hospital myself with heart failure & diabetes. But I am out now!!!! I am putting you on my prayer list that i keep personally. I hope that you get to the hospital and get to feeling better sis. It is really good that you have a firm grip on reality and the reality of CF. You guys kind of helped me look at the reality of heart failure, if I don't start taking care of this vessel (body) that I could die. It's reality for me. Love you and Peter and I so greatly enjoy watching your vlogs. I usually come in about noon or a little after and eat while I am watching your vlogs. It's something that's a part of my routine. What an inspirational part it is too!!! Peter you take care of you and that ankle so when Mary needs you that you will be fully there. It's really hard for caretakers too and I would encourage you to maybe visit a caregiver support group once and a while so that you can have your needs met too as you are an amazing husband & caregiver & pastor. You said it yourself, you wear a lot of hats. So make sure that you are getting filled up too. Once in a while our church pastor will bring in another pastor to preach on a Sunday so that He can be fed too. Always, an idea on weeks that you know you will be with Mary in the hospital. Anyways, I'm just trying to help and sometimes I give too much advice so I'm going to stop it here. Love you guys and hope you have a good night.
I wish I had a way to document this, but my Dalmatian puppy LOVES watching your videos with me lol as I'm typing this comment, he's laying on the couch with me and has his head hanging over my shoulder so he can see the phone screen lol you guys bring so much joy to not only me but to my 4-legged best friend as well and that's something I can't thank you enough for💞💞💞💞
Omygosh, Olly bringing his treats is so cute!! I have a service dog as well, and have definitely had issues with access. I also look "normal" when I don't have my wheelchair.
You are an amazing, inspiring couple. I enjoy watching you and I pray for you, Mary. You are so adorable! Ollie is such a sweet dog too! Praying for you all in the midst of this bump in the road!
What an awesome conversation about Ollie by the sounds!!! There needs to be more people like him in the world!!! What a #success!!!!
The service dog issue is so close to my heart as someone who is visually impaired! I really try to educate especially with the confusion between service animal rights and emotional support animals. It’s beyond harmful that people just buy vests and certificates and don’t even care to research the laws. It truly gives working dogs/animals a bad rep!! I can’t tell you how many times people bring their ESA -real or fake -into private business and don’t realize how they don’t have the same rights as service animals. People can be so selfish. So anyway thank you for spending the time to explain things to the manager! 💕
Seeing you guys happy makes me smile. Your joy is so contagious!
Can't wait to watch you everyday! 🙌 Bonesy🐶🌷💜
ollie is so low key.. hes wonderful
What a neat interaction! I like that a) it was SO respectful towards you as a service dog handler and b) if Ollie was a "fake" he would probably have been able to tell based on your reactions
Glad y'all are are telling us this for my near future with a new therapy 🐕 dog
So bummed that another hospital stay in the future... Happy that you all had an awesome time downtown! Continued Prayers! xo
It amazes me that 20 years after the enactment of the ADA, large retail and hospitality corporations still do not routinely address ADA laws in employee training and orientation. Bravo to Tony for being respectful and proactive!
Praise God I love you guys. I got to keep my service dog a little bit this last week and we went out to eat as well and I joyed my food and a phone for the first time in a long time I wasn’t worried or stressed she’s really helped out a lot and she’s been alerted if you times she is so awesome I’m so glad that you guys had a great night last night I love you God bless
I need "we're all gimpy ducks around here" on a t-shirt.
That's so awesome! What a great story.
Y'all are amazing! I pray for y'all everyday! ☺️ Thank y'all for the break in the day to enjoy the videos. Y'all are my favs!
Mary and Peter, I just know your unceasing faith and prayers are pulling you through the trials and tribulations. And I just love how your light always shines. The Lord Christ bless you!
Oh I’ve missed you all since I’ve been in the Caribbean. Even sweet Bonzi! Hope you’re well and best of luck.
💜💜!! I love your stories. Y’all are so uplifting
Lovely to know you had a happy time after bad news. Sending prayers xxxxxx
You are worth it!!
Love how you signed I-N-G.
#EmbraceTheDay!! YES!!! I feel the same way u know, whenever I get not the best results-it explains how I’m feeling and what’s happening-I feel validated too-but then I often do the same thing...”ain’t any...(insert issue here) gonna stop me!!!” Ur amazing guys!!! Sending u lots of love, hugs and prayers!!
You guys remind me to stay positive about how life can be. Thanks for the awesome videos, keep up the great work.
Hello Peter, Mary and Ollie Boy!! Hope everyone is doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻❤️
Mary cariad, I have a surprise for you both from the Buckingham Palace souvenir shop! Should I send it to your P.O. Box, like I did with your postcard from Zermatt, please? I’m hoping it will make you smile and cheer you up in hospital and later in the year too xxxxxxxx
I luv u Peter, Mary, and Ollie❤️❤️❤️
Hey y'all! I'm excited...I got a text today telling me that my shirt has been shipped! I really want to tell you, Mary, that you have made it easier for me to deal with my diseases. But when they cause new symptoms, I get emotionally unbalanced. That's what I'm going thru' now. I've come down with new symptoms and I'm not sure how to level out my emotions to deal with this "new normal", but I want to do it with grace and joy. Please pray for me?
Also...I love your saying "Do what you think you can't do".
I'd like to share my saying with y'all. "There's always awesome in every situation" :-)
0:40 - 1:10 As you were talking about how you ate so much and that 'no lung function's gonna stop you' , the music in the background was singing Katy Perry's ROAR! So appropriate!!! You go girl!!!
Yes for education @ least he was confident enough to ask
Wednesday the 25th, day of this video was one of my worst RA days even tho i'm on meds for it. That following Friday I went to 2 of my doctors and was prescribed 4 more medications. I don't even know how many i'm on now, lost count. But i'm still here and still fighting!
Hey! I went to the dentist yesterday too! Now to finish watching the video.
Thumbs up for Ollie!
Aww. This made be so happy!! Also, I'm about to go to the dentist too, this afternoon, and I am losing my miiiiinnndddd with nerves.
Sounds like such a fun day you two had. Oh, and your teeth look sparkling clean. Lol
I hope and pray your PFTs go up again soon, Mary, hon!
“Aren’t we all just gimpy ducks around here?”
-Mary Frey 2018
I have come in contact with people with service dogs. Since I have started watching your vlogs-I have more knowledge of what to do. And what not to do. I see the dogs and try my best to keep my distance and show total respect for the owner.
I'm glad you had such an amazing date. ❤️❤️
I work in retail and I always tell my associates to not go up and pet or talk to a service dog. They may be adorable, like Ollie!, but they are working and we are not to distract them. What these dogs are doing is vital and we shouldn't mess with that. In our store, service dogs and their people are respected.
You guys making nice times
Aaaawwwwww! Ollie bringing out all his toys was WAY to cute! He was just seeing how they felt to chew on, which one's still squeak and oh yeah, doggie treats! I just love that boy! Kiss him for me, would ya? Love you guys! :0D
Lol. If you were paying close attention, Mary signed the letters I-N-G with her hands. I noticed it the first time and immediately backed the video up just to make sure I had seen that right. Its right at the 9 minute 38 second mark. I'm surprised that I recognized it, considering I haven't actively used sign language since my brother was little (17+ years ago). It's amazing what the body does naturally without the brain actively realizing, whether it be signing or hand motions while speaking or other nervous habits.
I have tried that coffee. It didn't taste that great to me But it gave me tons of energy!
A wonderful video for sure! You guys so accurately described your excitedly.
I must be living vicariously through you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEE that Mary signed I-N-G when she said it (at like 9:38).
You know what?... I have watched a handful of Your vlogs & keep coming back. I HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE to you guys, I’ve got so interested into your life ❤️
Oliver wants to play too :) I’m surprised he hasn’t detailed the skunk :D
Great interaction! Good job, restaurant guy :) Honestly, I have never seen anyone abusing service dog regulations. If I saw a person with a service dog, I would just assume they needed it. It’s too bad that not everyone goes into interactions with a positive attitude.
Mary I saw you sign (ING). Oh my I catch myself doing that all the time. Our hands do there own thing sometimes don’t they. So glad you had a wonderful time out and about.
Chrystal Dunlow I had to go back and see it as I was just listening not watching the first time around. 9:36 thanks for noticing and sharing!
I just had an amazing service dog experience a few days ago. My dog & I have a photo Id
Love watching you all! My book character has an epilepsy service dog named Dax and it’s fun to watch to get ideas or learn stuff.
You guys have opened my eyes so much to how service Dogs should be. I have severe anxiety (have been hospitalized for anxiety attacks that i cant control and don't even realize im as anxious as my body has symptoms for sometimes.) I do have a "service dog" that was actually perscribed to be and has been to basic training and is a great deal of help but i understand through you guys that i could abuse having him so much because he isnt a professionally trained service animal for a chronic illness, hes just my support basically. I take him to places where any dog is allowed (mainly to get him out and i use his services more at home since i live alone) but places where it isnt apporpriate to have a nonservice dog ive l have learned through you guys. I guess i never realized what it could hurt before if i just bring him along since he is registered and is doctor perscribed to me but isnt a professionally trained service animal for a chronic illness.
Madelyn Stoll did he train to be a support animal? If so what kind of training? It's interesting to hear. 😄
Madelyn Stoll I’m a little confused because at first you say your dog is a service dog with some professional basic training. Then later you say you only take your dog where non-service dogs can go. In the USA you can legally train your own service dog with or without professional help. It’s your choice. And you can legally take your Service Dog in Training into public areas where pets are not allowed in more than 30 states. You can find this information for the Federal laws at ADA.gov (then do a search for Service Dogs). You can find your state ADA laws by a simple internet search with your states name and ADA service dog laws.
Does the letter from your physician state you need a service dog or an emotional support dog? I can also tell you that most physicians are NOT educated in the ADA Service Dog laws, and they don’t know how to write a proper letter for a service dog. If you need a Service Dog please don’t be intimidated, there are so many people making UA-cam videos that show you how to train your own Service Dog. And the ADA.gov website has samples you can print out to give to doctors so you can get a proper letter. Happy adventures to you!
Karen Ann McMillan yes I know, he’s only 9 months old and he’s trained for anxiety attacks professionally and basic puppy training. I only take him to certain places though because I feel his training isn’t appropriate for public use really. He’s still a hyper puppy that barks occasionally at other Dogs but I did train him and have a doctor prescription for him for severe anxiety attacks and panic attacks that I have. I take him places like hobby lobby or target that allow all dogs but even though I have an ADA card for him I don’t feel comfortable bringing him to like a restaurant for example. I know I have every right to bring him I just personally feel like I would be abusing my right if that makes sense because it’s for something like anxiety that is frowned upon but someone with PTSD or a terminal/chronic illness I feel like it’s much more appropriate. I just feel not all service animals are appropriate everywhere and mine is one where I choose not to for that reason. Ollie I fully believe should be! But he’s also not an “emotional support” service animal like mine. It’s not has looked down on as if I bring my boy and he’s not trained in the same way as Ollie. I havnt trained him or have had him trained
I do know all the information you shared though. I had to have it to register him:)
Karen Ann McMillan I do have a literal doctor prescription for him and an ADA certificate and ID cards for him so he is a legal service animal. I just feel it’s not appropriate in my case to take him certain places in public and abuse a right I was given.
Kayti Rowlett he is only 9 months old but has had just basic puppy training and an additional side training to deal with my anxiety attacks (mine make me so sick and weak I’ve had to go to the hospital against my will)
Gimpy ducks😂
You might want to consider doing a Q&A about your conversation with the manager of the place you were at. I think it would be interesting...just talking about the wording of the conversation a bit more and talk more about what questions he had....
Random question: is it hard to go to the dentist because you have to keep your mouth open without coughing? 🤔
Happy Thursday
Gimpy ducks! That’s me for sure! 😉
If only everyone was like that. Is stupid people hold a grudge because they don't think it's fair to other pet owners but service dogs are so amazing and important and they are always 'at work' at the end of the day. People should respect them
That's great, Hebrews 13:2, "for thereby some have entertained angels unaware". Never know... I've had experiences after my accident, that left me feeling defeated due to select hospital staff. Depends on the individuals you get, God set ppl in my path w/ unwavering testimony. That's the light & beauty in this world. Glad to have worked medical but switching careers, something I originally wanted to pursue! So excited! Oh.. what an adventure it will be. Bonesy.. showing off his toys..sweetheart. 💕:)
Love you guys so much and keep up your amazing work
Love your video every day thanks
Yea Tony!
An advertisement popped up on my search engine today on how to get your dog “certified” as a service dog. 😡 This kind of website does not help the situation... sigh....
So glad you had a great date in the city!
Start packing your bags, girly, in case you get “the” call to be admitted to the the hospital.
Laughing, “she liked that coffee” - it looks like she is still feeling the affects of that coffee! 🤣
I’m praying for peace, clarity, conformation & God’s perfect timing!💕
This is so great
I feel that there really does need to be some sort of certification for service dogs. So many people are abusing the term "service dog."
Just like having a parking placard for someone disabled. I can't just bring my dog in anywhere unless I would lie and say he's a service dog. I have to pay to board him.
Do you have to take any prophylactic anabiotic’s when you go to the dentist Mary?
I would love to know why 22 people have disliked this video. 😡 There is nothing to dislike!
I hope that you guys get to go to the beach or at least do one more boat ride before the hospital.
I had to educate my friend about service dogs
Gimpy ducks! lol
I am so in love with Ollie
SO CUTE!
He is so cute 😍😍
I had a similar experience with the library here. After running into fakes there, I went to the owner and she was so interested and really wanting to learn. she really wanted to know how she can control these fakes in her library.
