It& #39;s Ezra& #39;s first birthday! He& #39;s my service dog in training and he is so so special. This will be the thread to recap the past year. #HappyBirthdayEzra is the tag to mute if you& #39;re not interested!

I started searching for a breeder last year, in March/April. I finally found a great breeder who does temperament testing and is extremely thorough and does a wonderful job raising the puppies before they go home. Here& #39;s Ezra& #39;s mom. #HappyBirthdayEzra
Luna was confirmed pregnant after what felt like the longest wait of my LIFE in September. If you ever wondered what a puppy ultrasound looks like, here& #39;s the one she sent me. #HappyBirthdayEzra
Luna had 3 girls and 1 boy. I had originally wanted a girl, but switched my preference to a boy before they were born. That felt like fate I tell you what! Here& #39;s the puppies at 1 week old, Ezra has the blue string. #HappyBirthdayEzra
I thought the wait would be easier once they were born and she started sending updates and MAN was I wrong. #HappyBirthdayEzra
Here& #39;s a photo she sent with his Volhard test results; it& #39;s a temperament test and can be a good indicator of if a puppy has the temperament for service dog work. He did really well on it, so I could finally relax a little! #HappyBirthdayEzra

On December 20th, I finally got to make the two hour drive to pick him up on a Saturday morning. I barely slept the night before I was so excited. Here& #39;s the first time I saw him.
I had a little baby booster seat to take him home so I could keep an eye on him in case he needed anything since it was a long drive home. #HappyBirthdayEzra
More photos from the trip home. He puked on my arm but it was otherwise an uneventful trip home https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> #HappyBirthdayEzra

Ezra with his blanket from the breeder; it smelled like his litter and helped with the transition home #HappyBirthdayEzra

He would stay tethered to me to explore the house and keep an eye on him while working on potty training. #HappyBirthdayEzra
learning "paw" which is the main way he alerts me/interrupts certain symptoms now! #HappyBirthdayEzra
Learning "place"
He had a little cut on his nose from exploring, but he was fine. Was my first lesson in trying not to hyperventilate when he gets himself into unfortunate situationshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> #HappyBirthdayEzra

This thread is to thank you all for the past year. The majority of fundraising came from y& #39;all to get Ezra and send him to training.
Thank youhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💞" title="Drehende Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Drehende Herzen">
