Black frame around this text: This month's #PSDPrompt is how your service dog makes you laugh. A change in diet caused my first service dog, Sabrina, to become gassy. She always farted during my population biology statistics class. Sometimes students would have to get up to move away her farts were so smelly! We called them "death farts". While not funny at the time, looking back it was pretty hilarious!

Veronica wears a wizard hat and shirt that says "Muggle", while holding a wand in one hand and Hestia in the other. Hestia, a small black and white dog, wears a headless horseman costume on her back.

Veronica, her arm around Brad, smiles in a purple wizard hat with coordinating shirt and skirt, while holding Hestia, a small black and white dog. Hestia is costumed as a bee.
