🤝 CommunityMunchausen's by Internet (Malingerers, Munchies, Spoonies, etc) - Feigning Illnesses for Attention
Very syndromey face and even body. It's scary that is reproduced and I wonder what she did that was so bad that she did not get custody as a mother. Dat hairline...
My first, and probably wrong, impression was that she reminded me of someone with just a touch of progeria -- but not someone who has the whole menu of symptoms. I wonder if it's something that's on a spectrum, where someone can have mosaic symptoms of progeria? Or is it possibly some some manifestation of some form of dwarfism? I have friends who are 4'9 and 4'10 respectively, and they're both just... little. Normally proportioned people, just shorter than most people in the northern hemisphere. I say this being just barely 5'0 - so I tend to notice normally proportioned adults that are smaller than me. There is something about this chicks' face that subconsciously makes my 'something is going on here' alert go off. I'll take the hats, but I noticed this too.

...I thought she looked like my favorite cow, Cyraxx. It's speculated he's maybe got some progeria, because he lost his hair in his early 20s, and he just overall looks like shit. His only known syndrome is fetal alcohol, but Myranda looks like a less-severe him.
Because that is the current fad among young ladies with BPD. You could probably make a Pooners/Munchies Venn diagram with a decent amount of overlap. Mark my words, there will be a Munchie Pooners thread one day.

Her eyes are buggy, hairline rivals that of balding troons, her ears are too big for her face, she's a slightly off, sickly color, and all her facial features are just slightly too far apart, and not evenly so. Her mouth and nose are almost as far apart as her brow ridge and nose tip. Her neck is also very, very thin as if she was anorexic, but has a rounded face somehow.
Not tryin to be a bitch towards someone so unfortunate looking, just pointing out what you're probably picking up.
Edit: she also has soft skin that looks kinda greasy but also has wrinkles which is a very, very strange combination. Usually older people have dry looking, stretched skin, not super elastic looking with strangely deep smile lines.
Myranda Miller / the lady with the hounds part 2. When last we left, she had finally admit that her coonhound service dog Jessabelle was unfit for work. This came after everyone in the area blacklisted her for refusing to acknowledge that her dog was reactive to other dogs and people, and for using Jessabelle for heavy mobility when she was too young and not properly cleared for it. Jessa failed her Canine Good Citizen test twice for reactivity before Myranda finally threw in the towel. She has announced she wants to try over with a new coonhound to prove that she wasn't the problem, Jessabelle was.
Jessabelle is put in reactive dog class which should have happened a year ago.
She still has to work at home, and once she gets through the class she’ll be trained as a therapy dog. She’s never had people issues, according to Myranda. This dog barks and growls at people all the time but remember, those are vocal alerts to Myranda's triggers, even when they're directed at the vet or a child who walks too close to her.
There’s nothing wrong with Jessabelle except that she’s stubborn and barks at people and now also aggressive because she’s a coonhound forced to do service work and punished for instinctual breed behavior. What do you expect Myranda to do, not have an attention-grabbing dog accessory?! She’s going to carry a stun gun so she can attack your dog if it approaches hers.
Jessa is a very unique case. That’s the only reason Myranda has to seek outside help. If she wasn't so special and unique amongst all dogs on earth, Myranda would totally know how to fix it. She’s a dog behaviorist after all. Jessa now has to wear a muzzle in class.
Jessa still has to be this horrible woman’s crutch.
She has to suffer the devastation of being the only one without an attention-grabbing animal with her and this is unacceptable.
Jessa can’t behave in reactive dog class.
She’s being a coonhound you fucking moron. Jessabelle can’t do dog sports because of her reactivity. She can’t be left home out of the crate because she’ll destroy things. She can’t be left with puzzle toys to amuse herself because she’ll destroy them. She can’t be left in an exercise pen inside because she’ll escape it. When Myranda leaves the house Jessa is stuck in a crate or out in the yard where the neighbors complain about the constant baying. She’s worried if she gets her in a hunting sport, it’ll teach the new puppy that hunting behaviors are desirable. It’s going to anyway because that’s what coonhounds do. If you're thinking Jessabelle needs way more exercise, congratulations this is the correct answer.. Years after deciding she wants a service dog Myranda finally goes to a disability hearing.
Yep, she’s still taking the aggressive “retired” dog places because not having a dog with her means she’s not special anymore. I mean, because Jessabelle misses working so much. Planning to teach the new dog retrievals. LMAO sweetie no. That's not their job and you can't make it be. No, her dogs never learn this.
The whole world is unfair to Myranda who needs a dog so bad. Her dog dindu nuffin and all these FAKE SERVICE DOGS are the reason she can’t bring her puppy to school anymore. Remember that the dog that allegedly attacked hers was a program-trained guide dog.
“I love my dogs, instincts included.” Trying to electrocute a scenthound into behaving like a labrador. Pick one and only one.
I’m literally going to kill myself if I don’t get a service dog right fucking now!!!!! Wow look at that, planning to do real classes instead of just claiming she’s a pro trainer and behaviorist. Also going to group train and get the PennHip done instead of just saying it’s FINE to do mobility, bullies! So so very close to admitting she fucked Jessabelle up but no. It’s just to get more donations and justify going with another fucking coonhound. People point out that a newborn puppy with no training is not going to do anything to help her and if she’s in this much distress she needs to go to the psych hospital and check herself in.
HI MEL!
She might get a dog earlier than planned! No it's not her first choice but it's the one available now and that's what matters. Another fight that's been deleted, but it looks like someone was telling her she didn't need a service dog and needed to work on her mental health instead.
Cory has once again been called her dad in this chimpout which is half-deleted, but apparently it was people saying she shouldn’t get a dog she couldn’t afford and didn’t need a service dog for muh mentulz and a club foot she’s had her whole life, that she’s gonna fuck this one up like Jessabelle, and that Jessabelle shouldn’t be around a puppy if she’s that bad with other dogs. And this time she will SHOOT YOUR DOG if it gets near her perfect angel! Because she still can’t admit jessa went bananas because of her “training” and needs to blame it on other dogs getting near hers. The "best service dog trainer" is, of course, Susan Grill.
I've never bought a dog from a breeder but I can't imagine any reputable coonhound breeder would let you take an animal knowing you were going to train it as a service dog unless they have no idea what that entails. Anyway, she gets a redbone puppy she names Saoirse. Coonhound sperg. There's actually five coonhound breeds with subtle differences in temperament. Blueticks like Jessa are widely considered the most difficult of the bunch if you're not going to hunt them because they have little interest in anything else, are way more vocal than others, more prone to developing reactivity, and get very destructive without tons of exercise and chances to use their hunting skills. Do not confuse their stubbornness for stupidity because they are also great at problem solving. Redbones are considered more versatile, trainable, and amiable to family life as well as fiercely loyal. The dogs from Where the Red Fern Grows who courageously save a their master from a mountain lion at the expense of their own lives were Redbones. I believe part of the reason they stand out as the best pet of the bunch is that they were bred this way after the book/movie generated an interest in the breed.
She’s determined to not wash this one out. Welp, that's a really bad way to go about this. Sure you want to make sure you do everything possible to train your dog properly and socialize them but this is what I was saying about owner-trainers upthread a bit. They're so determined to make their dog the one because sunken cost or bond or whatever that they can't be objective about their shortcomings. Compare to a program where whether the dog washes or gets paired, it's leaving their program and placing a dog that should be washed with a handler would delegitimize the whole program.
She wasn’t barking because she missed you so much, she was barking because she was bored shitless or because there are many other dogs and it’s time to bark now. Bah-ROOOOOO. Surprise, Jessabelle hates the puppy.
It’s not her fault Jessa got aggressive! She knows what she’s doing! That’s why she’s gotten another coonhound and not a breed that’s actually appropriate. The target bench thing is funny because all the SD munchies that have rejected her love posting their dogs sitting on this bench at target next to a statue of a dog.
Already taking the dog out for long days.
This puppy’s a natural alerter just like Jess! And every other dog any of these wretched women come in contact with, because they love giving false significance to puppy behavior. Once again claiming prong collars can’t cause tracheal damage but the gentler starmark can. How? She even specifies “if you’re not careful” which is exactly how prongs cause damage. I watched some dude at a flea market dragging his labrador through by a prong in a way that made it impossible for the dog to release the pressure on his throat. The prongs were digging in and he couldn’t do anything to fix it which was ironically probably making him struggle more against the collar. That’s how these things happen. Claiming the reason she can suddenly go out even though the dog isn't trained is knowing the dog must be trained makes it #worthit. perhaps you should find things that make it #worthit that are not dogs?
Maybe because you don’t need it and he clearly does? He sees a healthy-looking woman with a dog in a stroller sitting in the seat he needs so he can put his actual mobility device safely out of the way.
Guess what the new dog also is stubborn and doesn’t want to listen even for cookies. Who could have guessed? It’s almost like these are breed traits. Also I haven’t mentioned this but this is like the 10th time she’s mentioned buying something, using it, then deciding to return it. She must be such a Karen to these poor cashiers.
Whoops the breeder told her the puppy was younger than she is which means the big puppy socialization window is almost closed. She wants to train her with other SDs around but she’s blacklisted from every local group for lying about Jessabelle’s aggression issues and going forward with mobility training.
Also she claims she administered this Volhard test which measures things like willingness to follow someone and sensitivity to touch but we know she’s going to rate her own puppy highly because it was the one available. Just like she had to make all kinds of excuses about being “intrigued by the breed” and “looking for a challenge” to justify Jessa who in reality was just available when another dog she wanted fell through.
She wants the dog to learn orbit, which is to circle around her to keep people from approaching on any side. This requires an assload of body awareness training (dogs don't really know their rear end exists and how to keep it out of the way until you teach them) and no, she'll never manage to train any dog to do this one either.
She’s not giving corrections on the starmark! Saoirse is correcting herself by walking to the end of the leash and finding out it hurts to do that. These are totally different, haters.
Jessabelle hates her fucking life.
Puppy chewed the gentle collar so now she gets the prong too. I WILL BLOCK ANY HATE.
In the comments, people discuss the reasons you should not teach your dog “sit”. I just… ok.
The dog won’t let her nails be trimmed.
Once again trying to hide that she’s using a prong so people won’t judge her.
“there’s not really a feasible job I can realistically do.” What is data entry? Her doctor is very on-board with her having a service dog but some teenagers listening to rap music triggered her.
So close to admitting this dog was never going to be okay
She’s taking cymbalta now.
STAR is Socialization, training, activity, and responsibility, a precursor to the CGC. It’s for making sure puppies are sound and the owners know how to care for their dog. Stuff like making sure you can play with their feet and ears, that they aren’t aggressive to other dogs, that other people can pet them, that you as the owner know the signs that something is not right, etc.
Myranda is too sick and in too much pain to get out of bed and take the puppy peepees so it’s going in the crate. She pretends this is a good thing.
Puppy is barking and antsy in public but it’s just a “confirmed natural heart rate alert”. Holy shit, didn't we just go down this road?
Lol ew.
She’s being a goddamned puppy. Mine just did this to me because I told him he was a good boy.
Her dog takes a dump in the mall.
Myranda mouths off at strangers.
Saoirse passes her STAR test thanks to the prong collar. She plans to do CGC, CGCA (“Community canine”, a more advanced CGC where the testing is done in the real world instead of a ring) and CGCU (Urban CGC, with a focus on being able to behave in a city like walking on a crowded sidewalk, being pet by a stranger, and not going bananas when it hears a siren). My fellow dogfags know the punchline here, but we'll explain it to the rest of the class in a moment.
She just can’t stop doxing herself.
She doesn’t have the strength to open most doors. Okay but why does the dog have to push the button? Can’t she push the button?
After two years of abusing dogs’ spines she has finally discovered the revolutionary item known as a “cane”
I really never thought hard enough about service horses to realize they go inside the house? Like of course it makes sense, but my brain goes "but horses are outside animals" and now I have so many questions.
She hangs out with some z-listers. Every one of the “men” in this photo is female lmao.
HI CASSIE!!!!! Shame you got so boring.
Here’s her number again.
She’s trying CBD oil. Maybe you should have worked on your mental illness instead of getting a dog and screaming at everyone about your triggers.
Bringing her dog to some kind of pet-friendly dog expo.
Saoirse will not allow Myranda to groom her. This is def a quality you want in a service dog.
So this dog is dead and it’s sad. It died because a groomer improperly used a grooming noose on it that caused her trachea to collapse. Tragic. But it’s a little teacup poodle that Susan Grill’s sister claimed was a “seizure alert dog” (not a real thing), that was trained to be carried around all day and stay awake unless she was sung a proprietary Trained & Maintained lullaby, and her last days were spent flying to florida so they could sing the song to her together. What the fuck man lmao. We'll talk more about the Thistle situation in another post.
how is every interaction this woman has with other people so over-the-top awful? Also now that she has puppy training to distract her you notice she hasn’t been complaining about her health at all?
Amazing. She actually seems to have learned from the mistakes she made with Jessa even if she can’t admit it. No weight bearing until she's done growing and has been scored, just acclimating her to the gear.
trying for ADHD now
Coonhound acts like coonhound in public. Shocking.
approved for SSI. “I’ll never have to worry about money again!” aww she’s so cute saying the quiet part out loud.
The six month old puppy behaves as well as Jessa did at 18 months.
Yeah dogs are great, stop doing this shit to them.
Lol I don’t feel like going back to find the other posts but she has complained a bunch of times about being tagged in giveaways and told people to stop doing it/she’s not their entry/she’ll enter if she feels like it because it “clogs her notifications” and she hates having to follow the partner accounts. Then she had her own giveaway. People who followed her for the giveaway that didn’t see her other posts then got chewed out for tagging her in other ones or asking her to shout out someone else’s account in support.
Oop, Saoirse is getting the e-collar now. Only the sound mode though! But she’s going to use the vibrate for recalls (she’s going to make the collar vibrate when she wants the animal to come to her). And she won’t use the shock mode… until she gets a better one!
She gets the pennhip done.
Your coonhound won’t stop sniffing things? Astonishing.
Poor thing. Her joints are fine so she’s going to be trained in heavy mobility.
Muh mentulz. These girls who claim they have such severe anxiety and depression they can't function thinking they can adequately train a service dog lol. T
Oh look it’s another reason coonhounds make terrible service dogs: they shed like you would not fucking believe all year round.
Ooh which came first, the off-leash or the task? Myranda wants Saoirse to work off-leash so she can do orbit, or she wants to teach orbit so she has an excuse for Saoirse to be off leash? I don't think I'd trust any coon dog ever to be off lead unless they are actively hunting.
You would not hold this opinion if you were not so often on the receiving end of these things. I mean think about it. She claims Jessabelle would be fine if it wasn’t for fake service dogs and ESAs attacking hers. These blacklists are used to warn people about exactly that: watch out for this team because the dog lunged and barked at me and my dog and the handler claimed it was just an alert. She only cares because she kept getting posted to them for Jessabelle’s reactivity and for training heavy mobility for vague reasons when the dog was too young and hadn’t gotten OFA scores. “Blacklisting doesn’t stop people. They just stop being honest.”
So with that last line in mind and the paragraph about how she doesn’t care if you train mobility too young, why is Saoirse always in a mobility harness now? She claims it’s just for conditioning her to it but yanno. I don't trust this gremlin.
Saoirse is fine on the martingale but don't worry! She's still going to get the prong anyway.
She’s not a natural like jess, the dog that never learned and whose behavior required constant excuses. But for whatever reason this particular coonhound isn’t quite as stubborn as the norm and doesn’t need to be “corrected” all the time… or Myranda has moved the goalpost again. Someone tells her to be careful because very sensitive dogs can get stressed out by any sort of punishment and she gets angry.
Man for someone with the worst ptsd and anxiety from even looking at her she sure does mouth off at strangers a lot.
I’m really kind of amazed this one seems content with just psych diagnoses and her one actual physical problem.
Remember when she just said her dog is super sensitive and doesn’t need corrections other than verbal? Yep, she’s gonna electrocute it anyway, hope it doesn’t turn into a total crackerjack when it finds out the human it trusts is going to hurt it for instinctual behavior like Jessa did.
All I can imagine is her having a little baby temper tantrum and screaming at everyone around her all the time.
She’s letting her dog ride on her lap on the bus because muh PTSD triggers. Fuck you if you disagree. Also lol the disability assessment dude had a presumably real service dog or at least one that listened and behaved and her puppy interrupted it.
“Future plans for titling and possibly breeding.” Place your bets on which one of these she succeeds in!
Lol remember when she used to make excuses daily for why Jessa barked and growled and lunged at other dogs?
She can’t use her cane because her snow boots make her too tall but Saoirse is too young to be used as a crutch. What’s a girl to do?
Anyone who asks about this gets a “trust me you don’t wanna know.” Yes, it is a cult of social media goblins fucking up dogs for attention. I can’t even recall what drama was going on then. Just another of Myranda's obnoxious immature habits: she'll post something like this and then refuse to elaborate because she's out of spoons, or tell people to DM her, or she'll bait people into asking a question and then write a whole paragraph about how she's explained it 50 times and they should scroll back in her feed because she JUST made a WHOLE POST ABOUT IT.
Shower stool because idk I guess her foot hurts.
“fall response” because… she’s clumsy. But hell, at least she’s not going to cripple the dog by doing bracing. So so close to admitting she was wrong and everyone else was right.
Yeah you just listed all the reasons they are unfit for service work because they’re stubborn willful hunters with incredibly high energy and prey drives who belong in the woods sniffing out varmint and are also very distractible. Congratulations dumbass. You didn’t decide to go with coonhounds after months of researching dog breeds. You already told us you picked Jessa because she was cheap and available immediately and you’d never even heard of coonhounds. You went with Saoirse because Jessa’s failure to be a service dog bruised your ego and you had to prove it wasn’t your fault.
Oh gosh she actually done admitted it. “Please don’t kid yourself, you need to pull your dog.”
Yet she’ll still never admit that all those “bullies” who told her Jessa shouldn’t be working were right. Anyway, random stomach pain bad enough to call EMTs, but no reason given and nothing is found on testing. I am totally 100% of the opinion that she faked it so she could see what Saoirse did on an ambulance, next to a wheelchair, and around doctors.
Planning to teach it allergy detection. She has claimed she’s allergic to cinnamon and shellfish and intolerant of “all plants of the pepper family” still. She also admits she’s never successfully taught a dog an allergy alert but she’s going to scentwork classes. Good, at least she gets to coonhound appropriately there. In the next post she’s got a new halter so the dog can’t sniff while on walkies.
She is going forward with her plan to breed the dog. Someone asks her how she can breed her lifeline dog that she can’t live without and she says she’ll only breed her in the winter because she doesn’t go out much then.
No shit you hurt after walking 4 miles when you’re totally sedentary. She’s now come to terms with Jessabelle’s retirement because she realizes the fun relaxed walk she took with Saoirse would be impossible with jessa.
CT scan, its just for a deviated septum but the munch within leaks out. She’s so excited about getting this medical procedure that she makes no less than 5 posts mentioning it in less than 24 hours.
The wonder dog is also stubborn and distractible, just nowhere near as much as jessa was (and not anxious like she was). She doesn’t want advice!!!
Prong collar on a dog on a treadmill. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
migraine. She needs guide tasks in case her migraines or photophobia make it hard for her to see.
She claims the dog is allergic or sensitive to synthetic fabrics. But she’s so dead set on using the prong (because her dog won’t behave otherwise) that when she loses her prong in the hoarder hovel she decides to use Jessa’s old one which has nylon loops and will break her out in a rash. Because fuck the dog's wellbeing, mama needs her attention accessory.
Really, I never considered the logistics of a horse in the house, like litter box training. If you can train it to use a litter box can’t you train it to hold it until it goes outside like a dog? Welp. Guess Abrea's public social media will answer all these questions and more.
They’re at a comicon and the dog is anxious as shit but Myranda wants her there so tough titties.
Her dog is now a natural alerter to other people’s medical problems. It’s amazing that every one of these girls’ dogs is always psychic, even the ones they end up washing out or retiring early. Half the times they even claim their normie pets who are barely trained at all have this psychic ability.
In case you were wondering what this lazy dumbfuck spends her disability checks on. Your tax dollars hard at work.
Please watch this video of a coonhound in jammies treeing an animal by launching herself halfway up a tree and now remember this chick is trying to use her as a guide dog.
Handler’s uh, filling out. And Saoirse’s anxiety is getting worse and just like with Jessa she decides to keep her in the overstimulating environments until she shuts down.
The dog turns 1.
Remember that video of her treeing a squirrel? Don't worry this is fine!
Surgery soon.
She gets ambushed by loose dogs.
Oh look this one understands how guide dogs actually work. She doesn’t think the dogs understand traffic lights and when it is safe to cross but actually need to be told it is okay to continue through the intersection by the handler who is listening for these things. Broken clock etc etc.
Every non-human animal in this photo looks miserable.
Oh man I missed this on my first pass. She’s complaining that people are making memorial posts about Jaquie because it’s triggering to her as someone who has experienced the death of a loved one. Like most of the adult population has. What a fucking snowflake.
Saoirse is in heat. Still working.
Myranda is getting her nose opened.
She milks the surgery for all its worth.
She’s aware that she probably is getting shitlisted again for working a bitch in heat.
Despite being a huge Karen all the time, she’s actually reasonable about Uber/Lyft. She encourages people to put “+ service dog” in their name so drivers who have allergies, fears, or religious objections, or just plain don’t want a dog in their personal vehicle can pass her over and only people okay with dogs in the car take the gig. (Now there's an option to book only dog-friendly rides, but at least in my area they charge a few bucks more for this and the service dog people would holler about that being discrimination)
If you can do all this you can work. And you probably don't need a dog with you.
Yep. She’s breeding the dog to make more coonhounds she'll pretend are service dogs. She’ll train them for a few weeks then sell them as “started prospects” to people who likely have no fucking clue what they’re getting themselves into and just want to take their puppy to Disney.
Planning her trip to Florida to work with Susan, this time with a much less defective dog. She doesn’t know the punchline yet.
Copper and Saoirse get to play with the snuffle mat but not Jessabelle.
She works her off lead in case myranda needs her “find help” task. What could possibly go wrong with leaving a high energy prey-driven dog off leash?
Years after she started this journey, her therapist finally writes her a service dog letter.
Oop there’s the punchline! Susan’s dead and despite rumors, it wasn’t fake. From what I heard she took a little polypharmacy forever nap. The end of an era.
Myranda’s getting fat and her dog isn’t doing DPT. She’s hound flopping. It's what they do.
Inpsired by Susan, she’s made a new page for her new service dog company. This is not a “program.” She’s giving people basically untrained 16 week old dogs and offering a few training classes after that. If the dogs wash out she’ll take them back and retrain them. What could go wrong here?
Let's stop there. Shit's about to get really angering really fast, as you can imagine. We will go over not only Myranda's program but her delightful clientele!
Jesus Christ, this Jessa lady is walking around with a hunting dog that's literally the size of a horse and training it to attack animals. Is she suicidal, or is that creature going to be aimed at someone else one day?

This post sometimes feels like it's insulting the dog Jessa and it makes me sad. Jessa deserves better. Idk why I'm just getting sad over this dog, who like most dogs, would probably try to bite me, but like, it's a dog. man,it doesn't deserve this. She just wants to do dog things and be a big ol pupper.
I mean, it's hard enough getting my cat to stop when he's hunting and he's like, 14 lbs at the most. And Jessa is like, a big dog. Can we just like,idk, send her to a,farm or a ranch and let her frolick and kill squirrels in peace.
Part three and final of Myranda Miller, the Lady with the Hounds. When we left off, she'd retired Jessabelle and gotten a new coonhound puppy, Saoirse, to try over. Jessabelle was placed in and failed out of a reactive dog class and is now trapped in a crate whenever she can't be monitored because she's now aggressive and destructive. Inspired by the death of Susan Grill, Myranda has announced she plans to breed Saoirse and start a whole service dog "program" from her puppies. Let's see how that goes for her!
Myranda on coonhounds: “they’re biddable enough-” and then we laughed and laughed.
Suggesting that if you need a bigger dog for mobility tasks she could get you a bloodhound. Absofuckinglutely not. Bloodhounds, even more than coonhounds, are bred to track scent and do nothing else. Not one other thing.
I don’t know that I’d want my company name on someone’s untrained coonhound puppy behaving like a twat in disney world.
After less than a year she’s declared Saoirse fully trained because once again, the goal post has moved. Saoirse never learned most of the tasks Myranda claimed she was going to train her in, never got her CGCA/CGCU, and was pulled out of Rally because she was terrified of half the equipment.
Enjoy this gremlin warbling off-key to her dog.
She usually has to separate Saoirse and Jessa because Jessa can't tolerate Saoirse's puppy energy.
Myranda almost gets why a owner-training service dog for anxiety when you claim you don't have to spoons to get out of bed is a dumb idea.
Service akita. Okay. I'll bite.
Logan Snyder d/b/a ember_of_my_heart. Early 30s, married with a kid, lives in Nebraska. This girl’s account isn’t very interesting but let’s do the 10 second version. She starts with a lab named Diesel who is pulled from work in December 2018 after he has some seizures.
In the meantime she starts training this akita named Ember to replace him. For non dogfags, Akitas were bred as guard and bear hunting dogs for goddamned samurai. They are known for being fiercely loyal to and protective of a single human. Hachiko, the dog that waited at the train station for her deceased owner every day, was an Akita. But that comes at a price: they're territorial and prone to aggression towards strange people and dogs, especially of the same sex that they are. Every time I think I can't find a worse breed for this, some bored white girl in the suburbs says "hold my e-collar."
Diesel is allowed to return to work after all tests are negative.
She brings both dogs to comicon and works them together for maximum attention.
I wonder what she’s angling for…
Pride. Of course. This woman has a child, for the record.
Akita in a mobility harness. CB – counterbalance.
Diesel has retired for good.
Breaks her foot.
Panic response and yet another one that needs a dog to tell them they’re picking their skin.
She’s friends with Abrea and Flirty too!
The dog “alerts” to her legs being crossed.
She has previously had another service Akita named Bear and not learned this was a poor choice even though they're "prone to being a difficult breed," and she's just gotten another. At least the new one is just a rescue who will be a pet. Hopefully.
The dog has an insane prey drive.
She keeps getting dismissed by doctors and told she just has a low pain tolerance.
she’s having hip surgery because she tore her labrum.
Hanging out with myranda and now she faints.
She’s in an off the rack clunker chair but let's be fair, she might be prescribed it for her hip.
The dog can't pay attention for shit when there's other things going on. Hi myranda!
Her dog barks at other dogs but only because that other dog started it!
Still rollin' in her clunky chair and now claiming mutism. Her child has capital-A autism.
Ember hates her life so she’s replaced by a GSD/cane corso mix. Oh for fuck’s sake.
The first surgery fails and she needs another. Still working the dog that doesn't want to work while the puppy is training.
Her akita is so over it she won't even get in the car anymore.
Back to Myranda. Starting counterbalance with Saoirse.
lol. She alone can teach a coonhound not just to be a guide dog, but to be a better guide dog with more advanced skills than a silly program trained dog.
She gets a halter but only so she can make sure the prong is the best option. In other words, Saoirse can't behave without threat of punishment and Myranda thinks this is a good thing so she is now using this to prove it's true and that she needs the prong.
Miss FAKE SERVICE DOG!!! ESA!!!! would like you to know your dog can wear whatever it wants and still be a service dog.
Okay but imagine waking up and you look like her. You'd probably want a dog as a distraction too.
Jessabelle gets hurt and needs her toenail removed. It's super painful so Myranda actually comforts her for once.
“To work against your breed's instincts and genetics is not only impossible, it's also a fool's errand. You can't train out genetics, and you shouldn't try.” SAYS THE MORON TRAINING A COONHOUND TO BE A GUIDE DOG.
She goes to the ER for stomach ouchies again. They give her antacids.
And she’s claiming the dog detects allergens now. She hasn’t mentioned that in like a year since she first said she wanted to train it but couldn’t. Nor has she mentioned taking the dog to nosework class. This is also printed on the final copy.
She joined a research study for PTSD treatment
she gets rid of Copper. Goodbye, gentle beagle mix.
Jessabelle gets to play with a snuffle mat and oop copper’s back. She won’t go into details.
Yes she will. Her roommate moved in his friend which made Copper’s behavior issues come out and he attacked Saoirse. No local rescues would take him because of the various issues he has. The friend gives him to an old lady without warning her of all these problems and the dog ends up back with them a day later. The friend gets evicted. She might just euthanize Copper rather than actually put in the time and effort to help him with his various problems. As i said, Myranda only sees her animals as an extension of herself and if they aren't giving her what she wants anymore, they're gone. The ESA ferret was sold, Honey the dog was rehomed (or possibly dumped in a shelter), and now she's daydreaming about killing Copper. Copper's crime is she was sure she could put in minimal effort and turn him into a pet (and maybe even a therapy dog!) for someone else but she couldn't. She failed.
Here's Saoirse's c-barq and as you can tell she's WAY better than dumb old Jessabelle!!
It's not about attention!!!
Oooh has there been new drama?
She's working hard to teach her how to find help and hand her leash over.
So all this time she's been taking Saoirse to overstimulating places and making her stay but making it positive by feeding her lots of treats until she was calm because that's what Susan told her to do. Whoops, turns out she wasn't calming, she actually shut down and developed a phobia of loud noises that took a long time to fix.
Muh mentulz. Encouraging people to disengage from their "toxic ableist" family over the holidays.
her highly-trained guide dog can't ignore a little pomeranian on the bus.
Jessabelle and Copper are bonded by their hatred of Saoirse and their love of getting into things, like true houndos.
She tries Rally again and doesn't fail as badly. Of course she doesn't keep up with it.
She's got another service dog chick who has a Great Swiss Mountain Dog puppy named Löfte staying with her for a week. Greater Swissies are great dogs, all-purpose farm breed and very jolly and friendly. In my very scientific sample of Swissies I personally know (n=2) they're very trainable and happy to work but have the issues common of giant breeds: joint problems, short life expectancy, and a tendency towards developing osteosarcoma.
Hmm, could it be that IRL munchie olympics did not go as well as expected once again?
She's back but she has a cold.
Saoirse is still being dragged to concerts but good news, her noise fear is over because Myranda mistakes shutting down with not being bothered once again.
"I don't really care about your sympathy, so don't give it." Wasn't going to on account of I have none.
She’s a giver, guys. She’s been taken advantage of so many times by takers and still she just gives.
Saoirse is in heat again. Why does it squick me out so much that she refers to the diaper as "panties"?
LMAO YOU KNOW SOME OF OUR PETS BEHAVE ON THESE RIGHT? This is so telling. Go look at the equipment a big program like Canine Companions for Independence or Seeing Eye use with their puppies. Tell me what you come back with. I’m gonna guess you see a lot of puppies in flat collars and standard leads, the odd harness, and absolutely no prongs or e-collars. Myranda has said it herself dozens of times: when her dogs aren’t on the prong they think the rules don’t exist. This is also why higher levels of CGC (CGCA, CGCU) ban prongs. There’s a whole paragraph on the AKC website about how you need to demonstrate your dog can still behave without them. And that's why none of Myranda's dogs ever make it to this level. Because she's not training them. They are only "behaving" to avoid the punishment and when they know there's no chance of that they act like fools.
And so it is. Saoirse can’t behave on a step in harness. Myranda blames this on her heat cycle and not realizing the step-in harness is working gear. All this because you couldn't teach Jessa how to heel the right way lmao. She at least partially admits its her own fault. The other dog she's with is fine on the step-in.
And Saoirse's increasingly coonhounding against Myranda's wishes.
Saoirse alerts to vendors' headaches at an expo.
The dog decided to wear the prong guys, it’s not because Myranda can’t control her without it! Yeah I'm sure that's what happened. Even if we believe the dog nosed the prong when Myranda held both choices out, it's because that's what she's used to walking in. that collar means "Saoirse go walkies" to her.
Welp, might as well dox this one too since she's gonna be around a lot.
She's boring as fuck but whatever, I'm making a point here. Service GSD. Notice the "My mommy says I'm special" patch on his vest.
He's for psych tasks, of course.
she has a bunch of posts where it's obvious she once had some dramatic caption based on the response, but it's deleted now.
It's a health violation to bring any dog but mine to a place that sells food.
In May 2019 starts referring to herself as "dad". According to Myranda's page she calls herself "Scout" but I can't find any pics of her face or personal accounts.
"Nothing against handlers who do." But you should have something against them. Escalators are dangerous for dogs. Lots of legitimate programs will not let you take one of their dogs on an escalator.
The dog turns a year old.
This one actually gives him a lot of off time to dog appropriately because she lives a fairly outdoorsy lifestyle.
Another time she def had a rant about FAKE SERVICE DOGS but it's been deleted. In the comments, people defend taking reactive and aggressive dogs to Disney.
How can you tell if you should get a service dog? If you really want one! All you have to do is pretend normal negative emotions everyone feels are really a crippling mental illness and then use a dog to deflect from them! Also have to laugh that all these chicks claim to be trans and mentally ill but will REEE to the heavens if you suggest gender dysphoria is a mental illness.
Calling out the people who use a ~unique~ breed without considering if it's actually suitable for the work. Like Myranda! And Logan! And nearly everyone else we've seen so far!
It's not fun! She's totally disabled! That's why she needs a dog with her!
Hanging out with Saoirse and Löfte.
She and Myranda are besties now. We'll see why.
She's so worried about being shitlisted like Myranda is that she puts the pupper through long grueling days of training without considering the dog's feelings about it and now he doesn't want to work anymore. She only focuses on the negatives and the times he fucks up and this makes her super frustrated. But that's all over now that she's friends with Myranda! So what I'm getting from this is the dog was getting stressed out because she was too busy punishing him for mistakes and not spending any time rewarding him for what he did right and making it fun, which is a really great way to fuck up a dog.
But uh, this dog is already fucked up because of its breeding.
alerted to what?
She's relapsed on a few things but won't elaborate.
Hanging out with Myranda all the time still. Remember she encourages you to disengage from your family because they're toxic, to the tune of not even seeing her own child. From what I can tell this girl is like 19 and she lives at home.
"I am fortunate that my disabilities don’t require him to stay close and keep an eye on me at all times, however he can still alert at any time, is always around to help me when I need him, and I still expect him to stay close and check in on me often. Yes, my dog is off duty more often than not, however this doesn’t mean he’s not still alert and always ready to do his job."
Answer: you can't as long as owner-trainers are allowed to bring any dog in a vest in a store and say it's training. "fake spotting is toxic and can ruin potentially great teams." Lol yeah these girls are all so anxious about being called out that they constantly need to justify why they need the dog and why it isn't behaving.
Myranda, who needs a mobility dog, goes hikies!
They go to the dog expo together! This time someone else's dog does not want to be here!
Hanging out with the service Akita.
Covid means no more puppy at the zoo which means our handler is supercidal.
Another deleted rant but it's obvious from the comments she was defending her choice to get a dog from a backyard breeder off Craigslist. This dog is not getting a good PennHip score, I can tell you that by looking at him.
The issue is that this dog is visibly badly bred. To the point where absolute strangers go "wow that dog's skeleton is fucked."
And another where she apparently admit the dog is aggressive towards small animals. Outstanding.
She moves in with Myranda over "family issues".
Yeah there's some real lax rules and that's why you all have "service dogs" now.
Oh lmao, Myranda wants to make Copper into a therapy dog now. Nope. That's not gonna happen.
Scout has to go back to work and this is terrible for her mentulz. She wants to get on disability so she doesn't have to do that and plans to appeal it as many times as it takes!
Hanging out with Flirty and the akita. Is that a cocker spaniel??? What the fuck task could a cocker spaniel possibly do?
Sure is functional when there's something fun to do.
She gets surgery but doesn't say what. Gender jesus mastectomy maybe.
Yeah dog people care about your dog and not you. You are only a conduit for them to talk about your dog. I brought my puppy to a street fair last night and it was "what's is name? what kind of dog is that? Is he friendly? can i say hi? How old? Not one person so much as asked my name.
Dog starts Canicross (cross-country running) because he's bored, handler is moving onto claiming tachycardia as is tradition.
And heat intolerance.
Another one where she deleted. From the comments we can guess she was once again punishing her dog for not living up to expectations (because that's what Myranda does) and now she's going back to more positive methods because the dog is miserable.
The dog with the FUBAR spine is now in a guide harness.
But at least she stresses the importance of getting your dogs enough exercise, something Myranda will never learn.
Covid is upon us and this woman who rarely leaves the house is fine with the changes. You don't say.
You’re telling me… your dog behaves better if you walk it daily? MIND BLOWING. Still no chance this dog is getting enough exercise.
Because Myranda is no longer taking Saoirse places for attention training leaving the other two dogs at home, Jessa and Copper are no longer trapped in crates all day and are behaving better too. Incredible!
Susan is still dead.
Saoirse turns 2. Here’s as good a time as any to remind you at the start of this account Jessabelle was being trained and “trained” for all kinds of PTSD response tasks like opening doors to get to Myranda when she shrieked and barking at triggers which were necessary and life saving but Saoirse is not. Saoirse’s training is focusing entirely on mobility with some token DPT shit.
Jessa’s behavior has improved now that she’s no longer being dragged into terrifying situations daily. She can be around and even play with other dogs without showing any aggression or reactivity but she still wears a muzzle at playtime. In the comments Myranda tells people blueticks aren't great guide dogs unless you're the world's best dog trainer (her.)
I almost laughed at her saying she needs modifications to the vehicle but omg she really does. She needs a booster seat.
Over on the “program” page she’s finally posting again and it’s to e-beg for a whelping box. Maybe don’t do this if you can’t afford the basic supplies? Someone points this out and she says she totally has the funds to raise the puppies! She just needs you to pay for a whelping box. And she needs a $600 custom one because of her disabilities.
They have a website for the program too.
Here’s her bio from the program website. C-PTSD from abuse, the club foot that didn’t heal because her great-grandparents didn’t make her wear a brace when she was recovering, growth hormone defect, and ADHD.
And she admits Jessabelle came from fucking craigslist. I went to the website because she says Saoirse’s PennHip and Embark results are on it but I couldn’t find them.
I just love it. Stripped of their ability to go to Olive Garden with their dogs, all these women had miracle quarantine recoveries. Myranda, who needs a mobility dog because walking on her ouchy foot is so so painful, can do yardwork and bathe all three of her dogs without running out of spoons.
Hahahahahahahaha yeah twitter is the watchdog of the free world. They alone are a beacon of truth. The platform where I got banned for saying the words "men can't be women" is the only source for accurate, reliable information on the entire web. I know this is just a reblog but lol jesus christ. The self-importance of the online activist set.
Saoirse alerts to migraines now, something she previously said she needed susan to train. Sure. For a while she’s just screaming about BLM over and over and I don't fucking care. I did catch her saying it was all reposts of other people because as a Mayonnaise-American she wasn't qualified to speak on this topic.
Another Susan memorial post.
Copper and Jessa are best friends now and it warms my heart. The two dogs Myranda failed bonded together in their mutual hatred.
She runs into that gosh darned guide dog again and name drops the program, Leader Dog. LMAO FOR REAL? They are a legitimate program that has been around for almost a century and paired some 15,000 dogs with blind, visually impaired, and deafblind handlers. Yeah, that’s right. They train guide dogs for deafblind handlers who can neither see nor hear that their dog is doing the correct thing and must rely on tactile cues and a whole lot of faith. I don't even understand how the fuck that works but you’re not going to convince me a guide dog from this program is the bad one.
Here's the same story from Service Printz. She deleted her own caption but you can still see her hyperbole in the comments. This dog at most started pulling towards them but since Myranda told her it was vicious and attacked Jessa that's the line she goes with too.
Saoirse’s still getting the e-collar also Myranda starts getting exercise for once. Dog alerts to hear heart rate to make sure she doesn't work too hard... at the gym.
the camera trauma is back. That's a real cute way of saying "I am ugly and do not like seeing photos of myself"
She plans a SD meetup during coof and gets screamed at for liturally killing people.
Saoirse gets OFA scored. If Myranda doesn’t like the results she’ll be trying over with a different vet. Oh my god.
She comes back normal to fair and Myranda says had she had a better vet the hip score would have been better but she won't be paying for a second screening. She says sub-Good test scores are fine because coonhounds are rarely screened at all so her breeding program can build better joint scores in the breed! Whatever helps you sleep at night.
It's funny that on Myranda's version of this post she doesn't talk about turning Copper into a therapy dog. Probably because on her account, she's told people he's reactive, has a ton of triggers including all kinds of human triggers, and she almost euthanized him for being a failure. Well at least he's getting trained now.
And despite that LOL call out post! Remember Löfte the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog who stayed with her, and how right after that Myranda left IG for a week and posted a bunch of dramatic shit about being taken advantage of? So here's part of the story: that other girl had an older SD named Sam. Myranda claims Sam was always reactive and Jadeynn the handler refused to deal with it; Jadeynn says Sam dindu nuffin and Copper attacked her. Myranda, ever the giver who is taken advantage of by everyone all the time, gets MANIPULATED into buying Löfte after Jadeynn claims being attacked by Copper made her dog unable to work. Myranda then let Jadeynn and Löfte move in with her for a week - why the fuck would you bring your new puppy in the home knowing Copper attacked your last one and made it insane? Myranda claims Jadeynn lives in filth and abuses and screams at her animals. Glass houses, hon. Jadeynn also claims that Caspian the GSD is reactive and went after another dog, which I believe given the handler's profile. Alas, Jadeynn's account is wiped.
Myranda puts her account on private because people are mean. She even breaks out the black and white filter so you know it's serious but she's not trying to hide anything!!! She has nothing to hide! Don’t get me wrong, I think Jadeynn is probably a huge piece of shit too and i don't buy her side of the story if she then brings Löfte into the house with Copper, but lollllll. I enjoy when bad things happen to Myranda Miller. We'll see more about this situation in another post coming up.
The meet-up happens. So many new friends we can meet!
And now the woman who needs a mobility and guide dog for painy foot can go on hikes in rocky terrain because that's what Scout is into. Her dog isn’t even in the very necessary mobility harness. It’s almost like Myranda doesn’t need it.
Your dog is hiding because she is afraid or in pain. This is not a good thing.
After a year with no public access her dog has forgotten what to do.
Saoirse is not getting bred because there’s squirrels in the attic so she can’t afford it.
Saoirse still won't behave without some kind of aversive to keep her in line. Myranda wants to prove Copper isn't a problem but Saoirse is too distracting so now she'll leave the lifeline dog home when she trains him.
Jessa and Copper prefer to be with Cory who lets them do what they want rather than with the banshee who shrieks at them for everything.
Remember how the dog is terrified of noise?
Saoirse turns three.
Not for nothing but her learning permit says 4’6” and now she’s saying 4’5”. Also says she was mostly homeless with Jessabelle until Cory took them in.
Jessabelle, who was always NOT REACTIVE!!! when she was working, was actually severely reactive and “protective” (Myranda-to-person translation: aggressive).
She and her pet pooner almost pass out from heat
The pandemic is the great equalizer. No one's dog is up to snuff anymore so no one is a FAKE SERVICE DOG anymore.
Lol she previously said this was already trained on her business cards. Now we learn she hasn’t even started. But we love to see a coonhound caked in mud in this house.
No longer claiming her dog was professionally trained because she's a professional trainer. Now saying she was partially trained by a program because Susan gave her advice. Note that Susan died when Saoirse was still a puppy and never worked with her IRL.
Ayyy finally telling the truth about Jessabelle, that she was a BYB catastrophe that Myranda bought because she was cheap and available right then, and that her training was the reason Jessabelle had to retire.
Those breeds are selected because they have proven for over a century to be exceptionally suitable for the job, and even then a large percentage of them wash out of real programs.
Saoirse’s day has come. She will be worked through her pregnancy but not for mobility. I can never tell if she's just SO defensive because she's aware she's making shitty choices and will get pushback, or if she's getting dms/comments and responding.
The breeding was successful. This all sounds very expensive and remember, Myranda is on disability. Taxpayers get to fund a narcissist’s literal pet project. Also remember she has an actual human daughter she doesn’t take care of or see.
Lol that’s part of why I can’t find the health papers on her website. Because Saoirse had suboptimal results and Myranda decided to breed her anyway. I don’t actually know anything about this shit because I am a rescue dogs only kinda gal so I have no idea how bad this is. The PennHIP papers I found said below 0.30 is optimal and .44 is in the risk zone but I have no idea how risky that is. The genetic condition she tests as a carrier for is an eye disease.
She takes the heavily pregnant dog to Comicon. Other people who have bred their dogs say “holy shit let the poor dog rest.”
Now that Saoirse is on maternity leave, Myranda gets a rollator and starts practicing mindfulness for her mental illnesses. And you couldn’t do this five years ago because why?
She didn’t announce the sires because she was afraid the SD community would spread rumors to their owner about how she fucked up one coonhound, is fucking up another, is too poor to afford veterinary emergencies, and is now whelping puppies in a home with two reactive dogs.
Nine little bundles of obnoxious hound noise. God bless.
Four dogs are deemed fit for work. They are pre-matched, with one going to an outdoorsman for psych tasks, one going to some annoying needle in a munchstack 20-something year old girl who claims to be “queer” and needs mobility assistance for unknown reasons, and a third we'll discuss. Another one one with a terrible name is going to be Myranda’s backup dog, so she doesn’t have to work Saoirse during pregnancies anymore. Fine, whatever.
Enjoy some adorable coonhound puppies.
Because whoops, time to make you mad again. She’s going to kill Jessabelle. Because they have stopped working with her entirely because puppies are more exciting, Jessabelle has gone insane. She gets no exercise and is kept in a crate literally all day unless she’s going out to pee. This is a five year old coonhound bred to track up to 20 miles in a night and they’re keeping her locked in a box and saying its her fault she’s not behaving when she's allowed out. But let's be real. We all know why Jessabelle has to die: because she’s a neon flashing sign reminding everyone of Myranda’s failures as a trainer.
Lest you think this was a very difficult decision like the commenters believe, she assures us it was actually really easy to decide to kill her dog to escape the embarrassment of her own failures.
She blames “bad genes, early desexing, and dog attacks” as the main culprits for Jessabelle’s behavior problems. Jessabelle spends her days in a cage with nothing to do after two years of being dragged through hell. She was punished for instincts and punished harder when she showed anxiety about working. But no, can't be Myranda's fault. She's just a "bad dog."
And she’s not interested in re-homing her or rescuing her, so don’t bother. She wants her big Bluetick narc injury gone off the face of the planet.
Don’t worry, the dog doesn’t die in this one. Cory insists on trying to rehome Jessabelle anyway, even tho Myranda is TOTALLY AGAINST IT. He forces her to go along with his plan to save the dog. Oh whoops, turns out Myranda is the problem after all. Jessabelle is sent to a farm where she gets to run free. She has zero behavior issues even with other dogs in her face. They take her back home for a trial and she has no interest in Myranda and just wants to go back to the fun place where she doesn't have to live in a cage and get electrocuted, so they sign her over. Copper's behavior also starts to improve, which Myranda chalks up to Jessa being gone but I think is more along the lines of Jessa is no longer crying in a crate all day and Myranda is no longer constantly shrieking at Jessa to shut up.
On her program page she handwaves all this euthanasia drama as “personal stuff” and continues on her quest to make sure a few more coonhounds are totally fucked up for life.
Back to our regularly scheduled content. Follaine is now doing public access and Saoirse is jealous so she’s left home even though Myranda NEEDS a fully trained service dog.
One of the other pups, Alainn, will be going to a 17 year old female who calls herself Arlo and claims she’s transgender.
Solas is going with this chick. Her account is wiped but it doesn't matter.
And just like that, the breeding program is over. Saoirse develops pyometra, a life-threatening uterine infection. She undergoes an emergency spay. This would be the other half of why you can't find her joint scores and Embark results on the website: she can't be bred.
A mentally ill 17 year old girl about to start college is not a great candidate to owner-train a service coonhound? Color me shocked. very brief DETOUR!
""Arlo"" d/b/a @thatanimaldad is your typical gender trender crying about how she needs a dog in her college dorm because the mentuls. When she did not get a coonhound puppy to fuck up, she put a vest on a husky mix named Athena instead.
Here's the handler. Very masc.
This one is dating a male. Dude seems literally autistic with all the expected interests (vidya, annymae) and also somehow considers himself both a redneck and a Tyler Durden style antihero. Ok. Refers to Arlo as his "boyfriend" all the time. I don't understand zoomers.
Of course she claims hypermobility.
The body braid thing is ridiculous lmao.
very manly in her ripped skinny jeans with them childbearin hips.
Anyway her dog gets boarded at some other SD psycho's house who keeps her in a crate with a bark collar on all day sitting in her own piss. Nothing else to say about this one. Back to Myranda
One of the puppies is finally paired with her handler, a guy from Texas. His account is locked down.
Aine is now Indy.
Myranda goes to urgent care for ouchy toe. And she actually calls it that.
Allaine is paired. Yes, it’s another female. DETOUR!
The personal account is private but she has a public account for the dog who is now called Tim Allen.
She didn’t bother telling her job she was getting the dog and now she’s fighting with them on whether or not she can bring it to work.
The dog behaves like a coonhound and she doesn’t know how to fix that. How predictable.
She has PTSD, fibromyalgia, and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. The dog can alert to the fake seizures. No he cannot lmao.
Just in case you doubt this is a pooner, check out those tiddy scars.
She’s a “gay man" and yes the "boyfriend" is female too.
Now claiming she has legitimate grand mal seizures. X.
POTS, of course. We'll be back to see how Allen turns out in a minute.
Back to Myranda. Another of the puppies she deemed appropriate for SD work is afraid of people.
Ruby is having behavior issues and her handler can’t fix them. Myranda is learning that her remote training courses are in no way as good as in person training and now wants his owner to come up and re-train with her.
Whoops, Allen also as to come back for more training. Sounds like this was a terrible idea and releasing them at 16 weeks like she originally planned would have been even worse. She lends the pooner an increasingly stressed out looking Saoirse as a replacement. Like Melek, Saoirse is going prematurely grey.
Some kid lets his dog off lead and Myranda gets between them. He calls it back to him, but as the dog is coming, Myranda chimps out and makes a big scene waving her arms and screaming because it might hurt her dog. I wonder why jessa kept getting attacked.
We end on a somewhat happy note: Saoirse decided she didn’t want to work and Myranda’s mostly letting her. She’s also actually working on her mental health instead of forcing her dogs to be her literal and figurative crutch. The last of the puppies washed from training and was homed as a pet. She doesn’t post for months at a time now and has no specific plans to continue this breeder/trainer disaster she cooked up.
The only other thing to say is that Allen got dragged to Disney by his pooners.
He starts having behavior issues on the flight that get worse throughout the trip and don't resolve when he’s home.
She starts to get embarrassed by his behavior and starts leaving him home. This means when he does go out he acts even worse because he’s not getting enough exercise and enrichment. We have learned nothing from Jessabelle.
He had to be neutered because he was getting aggressive.
He’s been sent back to Myranda for behavior issues (oh good, this will not end poorly at all) and Saoirse is pulled from retirement to be dragged around by the Aidan, even though the dog has never been taught to do the main task she claims Allen does (seizure alert, which isn't real so it doesn't matter) and can’t be used for mobility because the handler is fatty fatty two-by-four.
But you know what? Let's take it as a win. Most of the puppies were released as pets, Saoirse's uterus was yeeted, Myranda is spayed and possibly too embarrassed by the utter failure of this "program" to try again but time will tell. And Jessabelle gets to be the dog she deserved to be, running around on a farm and chasing varmint.
Here's a sideshow attraction for our main stage: remember the service cocker spaniel in the last one? Well, I wanted to include her as one of the detours but she was just a little too long and she's not really relevant. That's the only time she ever hangs out with that group because she's not local to them. It's not even like she's internet friends with them. She just saw a post about their annual local handler meetup and decided to drive six hours to go to it. But she's also a funny failure at life who constantly posts her Ls and that'e enough for me.
This is Caity and her cocker spaniel Delilah. She claims she needs the dog for psych tasks, of course, and got it when she started going to college. She’s also married but doesn’t talk about the husband much
Another one where the small accessory dog isn't ever paying attention in any photo and is often scared shitless but the handler either doesn't notice or decides to keep going for it because she needs her puppy in class with her.
Lolfat.
she's allergic to coconut and makes a scene that gets the ambu called on her. She just needs benadryl.
send thots n' prayers, my tooth had to be pulled.
she milks a dry socket for attention.
She has a panic attack and needs to blast a Pink song about how you're perfect the way you are because other people discuss their own religion.
This dog is not happy or calm you fucking moron. She's too afraid to move because you have her surrounded by The Scary. This is a great way to fuck a dog up.
She gets a job and the dog's allowed to come with her.
Her dog is not spayed and therefore she goes into heat. She doesn't want to spay because she might want to breed her to make more service dogs like Myranda. Because of the risk of dog attack during a heat, she chooses not to work the dog when she's in heat. But she totally needs this dog with her at all times.
Tell me what tasks your dog allegedly does again?
The dog's maybe not allowed to come with her to her new job. Those eyes are pretty wonky but i think that's kind of standard issue in the badly bred cocker set.
she needs noise cancelling dog headphones...
...so she can take her dog to a furry convention.
Where it's scared shitless once again.
She makes a booking error but it's someone else's fault.
her job is at wommart oh my fuck. Working the dog on a choke all of a sudden. Wonder why. Couldn't be that it doesn't behave for her entire shifts unless it fears punishment.
She gets some zebra care package even though she only claims muh mentulz.
Jesus christ.
Here’s the part where I say she has a tiktok and it is all fucking weird furry content with no health or SD drama other than a pre-coof VOG mask sighting or two but I still had to go through the whole damn thing to make sure she wasn’t hiding some goods. The things I do for a laugh. She does claim to be "pansexual" on there despite only dating men.
now claiming to pass out at the mall, but it's a new thing. Someone else's dog alerts to low blood sugar also her heart rate is out of whack and another dog alerts to that. Yay! More info to tell her doctors! Finally says C-PTSD is her main diagnosis. This usually is PTSD that happens from long term trauma but it’s been coopted by the personality disorder crew when they don’t want to admit it’s BPD because then people don’t want to be around them. It turns manipulative bullshit into an involuntary trauma response and presto, there’s magically no need to take accountability for your actions anymore.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS.
Caity's shaky and weak and needs a wheelchair. She needs to see a neurologist and hopes there's no long term nerve damage from whatever this is.
she shaves her head.
GIB!! claiming (weeks before coof, bless) that she's now jobless and homeless and her car needs repairs. She gets $40.
She's getting divorced and says its because the hubs cheated and lied.
It goes both ways bby.
She tried to commit an hero right before the divorce saga started.
"I feel like I'm not disabled enough for it because I'm not diagnosed with a physical disability or an invisible medical condition that affects my body." Yeah, this is why all the psych dog handlers move on to physical disabilities. Because there's basically no difference between a "psychiatric service dog" that does 'grounding tasks' and "light pressure therapy" when you're anxious and an ESA that you pet on your lap when you're anxious, except one is allowed at walmart and the other isn't. They hate this because they're constantly screaming about how their dogs have rights but the ESA does not but then can't reconcile that the ESA does no less than what their dog does: it sits on their lap and allows itself to be pet when they're anxious, but with fancier terms. There are some psychiatric SDs that do pretty impressive things, but off my head the only one we've seen in this entire thread is Megan Stoff's dog Nala. While Megan is a piece of shit and arguably doesn't need a dog to do these things for her, Nala is undoubtedly performing actual psychiatric service dog tasks and performing them correctly and reliably. This chick's dog does nothing that even needed to be trained.
And so she goes back to trying to get diagnosed with something physical so she can claim the dog alerts to it like her friends do.
Now, days after the rant about how she's not disabled, her doctors are talking about mobility aids. LMAO.
She has a job again, working night shift doing "heavy labor" (I would love to know what she means by that, my guess is stocking shelves). Wow are you surprised that a fatass who sits around all day has a wildly fluctuating heart rate when doing heavy labor? She uses a cane now.
magic dog saves her life.
EEG to rule out seizures.
her dog can't behave if there's another dog around.
On that note, here's the zoo trip with Flirty and the akita.
pushed too hard, had a relapse of...something.
She ends up in the psych ward because her dog isn't behaving and it exposes her as a fraud, hahaha holy shit. No really that's the reason. She has to go to the psych ward after having a nervous breakdown from stress, and most of the stress was from her "psychiatric service dog" and its failure to behave like a real service dog which made her have to reckon with the truth that she's a fraud every single day. She has to see the irony in this right? That the dog she swore mitigated her psychiatric problems and allowed her to function actually made them worse? The dog will be retired. We never see Delilah again because she’s rehomed to another furry.
oh wow her next dog is actually of an appropriate breed! She gets a labrador puppy named Migi who will certainly pass better than her terrified cocker spaniel ever did.
Again, she feels like a fraud because she is one lol. She pulls Delilah from work but the puppy is too young, meaning that she's working dogless and all her coworkers who saw her with a dog she claimed she could not function without suddenly realize she never needed it.
She has a seizure at work and now she can't go back. Tell me they're psychogenic without telling me they're psychogenic. The puppy, of course, alerts to them.
she loses her job and can't get unemployment. she orders a walker despite having no money. And she doesn't say this but she gets kicked out of her apartment again after this
She contacts her parents for the first time in 7 years. All these people always claim everyone in their life is abusive, don’t they? Also, people are criticizing her for being an abusive trainer or something. She’s worried she’ll need to spend another week in the psych ward if she doesn’t just kill herself because of it.
The dog is afraid of furries, as well he should be.
YOU CAN’T SILENCE USSSSSSS~
Her life is one long episode of getting the rug pulled out from under her because of her dramatics and it’s kind of hilarious.
I guess the husband (who was also a furry) pulled her by her hair or something but at least she’s not claiming gender feelings.
Waiting for a wheelchair and to figure out what kind of seizures she’s having. The dog is of course a natural alerter to whatever they are. He also alerts when her leg is shaking because what the fuck is wrong with these people how do you not feel that lol.
Baby’s first off the rack. She’s so excited. Her seizures are caused by pushing her body too far by walking. “I’m probably going to be called a fake wheelchair user for being able to stand sometimes.” Well I mean both you and the wheelchair are objectively real. I just don’t think the seizures are or that you need this for them. How many true n’ honest epileptics need a wheelchair? Like, kids who have severe brain damage?
In her stories she lets us know it’s FND.
The dog is afraid of thunder. So is she. Instead of understanding the dog is coming to her for comfort during the storm, she assumes it’s a natural PTSD response.
She goes to the zoo with some other girls but doesn’t take the dog.
She takes him on a seven mile walk without her wheelchair and has him carry a chocolate bar just in case she needs a little sugar. Also there's a monkey at the park.
The dog is anxious and feeds off her anxiety, so he’s being washed too. She accepts this is partially her fault for rushing into a puppy right away but eventually decides nah, not my fault!
So she’s trying again. This time with a female GSD mix.
On tiktok she says Migi washed out for people reactivity. He's never seen again either.
She hasn’t been letting her not-real seizures get her down. Artemis is doing so well being this fatass's accessory!
Annnd she’s dead before her first birthday. She doesn’t say what happened, just that the dog spent her last breaths seeking comfort and that her new boyfriend broke up with her at the same time.
So she’s trying again! This time with a dog named Lucky who will hopefully be way luckier for her than the last one.
He isn’t! She moves to New York City, her new roommates are also “abusive” to both her and the dog and she gets kicked out once again. Third time since her insta started! She has to move in with a friend and surrender Lucky. Hope the little dude found a family that takes him on so many walkies and tells him he’s a good boy every day.
She also lost her fursuits. What a shame.
She’s now dogless but she’s in a long distance relationship with someone on a virtual game platform.
She moves to Indianapolis to be with him.
Check out that snaggle tooth. I guess even ugly, fat, BPD dogfuckers can find true love.
As of her most recent posts she has not gotten a new SD, stopped saying anything about her health, and is just posting about how she’s so in love with this weird guy.
pretty sure all of them are intolerable to be around. and some do ruin others lives- like Paige and her mum's revelations.
the reason the dogs pull on the heartstrings is their lack of agency or choice in the matter. the people in munchies lives often nope out, but the dogs can't. seeing them being punished for natural behaviour and being absolutely miserable is horrible. the SD munchies are callous in the extreme.
Yeah sorry. I kinda got in a groove with the dog abusers because it's way easier to put a $20 amazon vest on your terrified dog and take it to Disney with you than it is to convince a doctor you've got a terrible illness and need the most extreme possible treatment for it. They're just way easier to find and where there's one, there's a hundred others orbiting her.
And to be honest there's a bit of vengeful god on my part. I can't make them stop as long as the ADA is so lax about what constitutes a service dog and what can be done about people who abuse the lax regulations. But I can humiliate the shit out of them for doing it.
