Hiding Heidi at 11:59 in Peters hair LOL. Im loving the felt!! OMG THE KANGEROO!!! That put a huge smile on my face!

When you were talking about smiles and service dogs, I thought about how potent a simple smile is. Recently I went out to a strange place wearing a flower crown. Normally I wouldn't do something like that but I just wanted to cheer myself up. While walking around I noticed that every single person that saw me would smile. It amazed me that just by putting flowers on my head I was able to make the world a brighter place. That's so amazing that you have that opportunity with Ollie, despite the hardships. Keep fighting sister! God bless

Never so much excitement was had over a plastic kangaroo. It's way too precious how happy you guys are. Its the little things, it really is.

Catching up. The kangaroo!!! That was brilliant. I had to call eric in to watch it again. You guys make us smile.

O.M.G! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GOT THE KANGAROO! It;s a miracle, LOL!

Yippeee!!!! The KANGAROO ..... you have absolutely no idea how happy it made me to see you got the Kangaroo. I have been binge watching your vlogs from the beginning..... And thank you for educating me on sweet Oliver your Service Dog. ☀️ Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. `~ Sonia from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Thank you for alerting us to how it feels to have a service dog in public.

I love my SD but I totally agree with you. Its like taking a rock star with you everywhere, I need to be paid to be his security haha

I love the way he treats her she deserves it

Omgosh!! I totally was cheering for you guys!! YOU FINALLY GOT THE KANGAROO!!!!

The whole ending was both funny and adorable.❤️

I like to come back and watch this every once in a while. It still makes me happy.

Hi Mary and Peter... have not felt much like writing but today you hit on something that has happened to me twice in the last couple of weeks. I also (if you remember) have a service dog -- Molly... she is only one year old and is still in the training period. I have PTSD severe anxiety and depression.... one of her jobs is to alert me when I start showing signs of a panic attack which sometimes I don't realize its happening as well as several other jobs that I did not know she was doing. I realize she is still a puppy and she is still learning everyday (it was recommended that I get her at 8 weeks so that she could bond with me and be aware of my needs which she is doing a great job), although we both have a trainer that helps us once or twice a week most of the training is being done by me. Anyway... A couple of weeks ago a 3/4 year old ran up to Molly and wanted to put her.. I was in line at a store and automatically pulled her to the side of me. I looked at the parent and asked her nicely to please keep her child away from the dog since she was working at this time. WRONG thing to say... that mother got very upset and said... "she only wanted to pet your dog". I didn't really want to get into a confrontation since that is the last thing I need so I just ignored it. Then not more than a few days later I was sitting outside a department store at the mall waiting for my husband to finish paying when this Man approaches us (molly and I) and wanted to pet Molly. I explained to him that she was a service dog and could not be petted and that her vest said that for a reason. (very nicely) i must add, but he blow up at me and started yelling some very inappropriate words to me. By this time my husband showed up and things got heated. My husband is a very calm man and tried to explained to this Man that my service dogs was working and petting him without permission would distract him from his job but this MAN would not have it. Needless to say Security got involved he was escorted out of the mall and I ended up having a major panic attack and had to leave the mall. It would be nice if we all could help educate people (when ever possible), on how important it is not to distract or pet a service dog. Anyway sorry to ramble on. patty

Very well said about having a service dog! I think the funniest comment I get is Person: may I pet him? Me: no, I'm sorry he's working Person: *sarcastically* oh, well me too.

Hey "The Frey Life." I am so glad I watched this video today! I have been babysitting this summer while I have had my summer off from teaching. I had an awesome teaching moment with one of the kids today. We saw a service dog at the store and he wanted to pet it. So I explained that the dog was busy working. However, the handler overheard our conversation and let him pet her dog. A rare opportunity but so sweet and he got to learn about service dogs.

I think that Oliver is a GREAT service dog, you couldn't have it any other way. Also I love you videos and how much detail you put in your videos!

I'm new here and I'm already in love with you two! You both are so kind hearted and joyful ❤️

You finally got it!! YAY!! I love all the excitement and smiles from something so simple :-)

This was great! You guys are amazing! I love the way you laugh with each other. It warms my heart and I laugh right along too. I'm still binge watching.

You got the kangaroo!!!! Congratulations Mary!!!!!!!!!

you guys are such a beautiful little family. truly an inspiration. I love how much joy your days are filled with no matter what is thrown your way. so much optimism I love it! God bless guys :)

NO!!!!!! I can't believe it!! I was afraid this day would NEVER come. Kanga-Joy!!!! and even an awkward little Kanga-Kiss. LOL This made me smile from ear to ear. :-) SO happy for you, Mary.

I love the felt nativity! your mom did a great job!

Yay on finding the kangaroo! Had to re-watch that part again because your reaction was priceless.

You Peter and Oliver are so special. I just love your videos so much. All of you make me happy! 😊😊😊

I hate it when people go up to dogs that they don't even know without asking the owner and pet them, especially service dogs. For one thing you don't know how they will react (think of it like going up to a stranger and hugging them.) And if it's a service animal they have a job to do, let them work. People can be so frustrating sometimes.

I was so happy for you when you opened that kinder egg!! Congrats on the kangaroo :)

🎉 randomly catching up on old videos when I can, and I had no idea this one would be so joyful at the end, it's exactly what I needed to start off what's going to be a really tough day. thanks Frey fam 💕💖💕

KANG...A...ROOOOOOOO!!!!! lololol. Maybe Peter putting it in his mouth made it a lucky egg.

I just saw the end after I wrote that last post!! I missed the end until now. Wowww!! Exciting that you got the kangaroo!! That was priceless. You guys were so excited and happy. And it was funny how Peter was messing with your hair then put the egg in his mouth and spit it out! ha ha ha... Love you guys!!

I love them so much! They're pretty amazing and I'm obsessed with their channel. Keep up the great work. Much love 💜

I have had my service dog for almost two months and she is a Great Pyrenees puppy that is 14 weeks old. I so totally understand everything you have said. My dog loves people and I let people pet her after they ask. Only once has someone came up to her and did not ask. I have noticed she notices other people who are stressing out in the store and she will very sweetly and gently go up to them and lean her face on their leg. Instantly they relax and pet her and smile. I love seeing her make other people smile and feel better too. My dog is for PTSD. God Bless you both and that precious Oliver.

Woohoooo you finally got the kangaroo!! So happy for you, and had to grin at how excited you got when you saw it =)

THE KANGAROO!!! FINALLY!!! And during the Christmas countdown, no less! So awesome!! :)

You are the sweetest couple, I love watching your videos!! Mary, your watercolors are so lovely! Happy Holidays.

This both made me smile, and made my day! I love you guys!

I love watching your vlogs. I'm a service dog handler as well and find it so nice to have someone to relate to!

Hello, I just found your vlogs and subscribed! I wanted to say Thank You for sharing about Ollie and life with a service dog. I have a seven year old who absolutely loves dogs just as my husband and I do and she recently inquired about service dogs and what they are for. We explained to her they are used for different reasons and to never touch or ask to touch a dog in service because of it being a distraction. She was thrilled to learn what they do and why it's so important to never let them. Ollie is a beautiful dog and I enjoyed you sharing his story!

Peter Frey, when do we get to hear your dissertation? Also hilarious that you got the kangaroo after Peter shot the egg out of his mouth. Thanks for a good laugh today!

Loved the video guys, Keep fighting Mary❤ Always smile 😊

OMG you guys opening the kangaroo made my day!!! I'm so happy you finally got it!!! :)

I did not have a great day but watching this video made me smile and I am smiling because you two are smiling and want people to smile

lol the Kangaroo reaction. Like winning the lottery! So happy you finally got one!

Saw the cow 11 min. 59 Seconds, on Peter's head. That was a funny one :-). I have to say, I totally feel your frustration and understanding with what it is like taking a Service Dog with you into a store. I have to say, personally, the VAST majority of people have been so KIND and more than amazingly understanding. But there are times ,,,, (like the day I had forgotten to take my dog vest with us, when he out grew his original training vest)... and got asked about it by a fellow customer...Or the other day when a kid was running through right the front doors with baby claws and no mom/dad near by ... lol. It's tough.....at the rare times. Especially would love to be back to where I was , and not needing a helper at all. But he is wonderful, and I wouldn't change him for the world. :-) Give Oliver a hug from my puppy. Enjoy your Christmas Kangaroo!!

When I see someone with a service dog it does make me smile (I love animals so it doesn't take much when I see an animal to smile. :) ) I don't ask them or bother them though because I like to respect their privacy. The ending of this vlog is hilarious..especially since it looked like the kangaroo hopped right out of that yellow egg! HAHA :D

#HidingHeidie@12:06!!!!So glad you were able to get the Elliptical twice because your head ache left!And to top it all off you got the KANGAROOOOOOOO!!!!!Congratulations!!!!

I'm sitting here so excited for you finally getting your kangaroo...big smile on my face! :D

haha loved how excited you were over tge kanga. im in Australia and have them come up to our grass. love the vlogs xo

I totally feel you about feeling like a spectacle with your service dog. My sdit is for anxiety and other psych reasons, so it was a difficult adjustment to get used to the staring. At least I know that they're staring at the dog, not me!

Mary that has made my day so trilled you found the kangaroo you've just turned a bad day into a good one!

Love your vlogs thanks for making me not bored 😘!!

I just found y'all while I was watching service dog videos (I'm looking into getting one because I struggle with type 1 diabetes) and I just love you three. Just amazing tbh. Your videos have made my past week Soo great your videos make me happy 💖💖💖

It's so exciting! I keep watching the last part so I can relive the kangaroo joy!!

Yay! I'm so happy you finally got him!

Kangaroo kiss = I LAUGHED OUT LOUD! Bahahaha! :D

#Hiding Heidi at 12:00 - I understand your challenges of a service dog handler. I have severe Asthma and when I am out in public sometimes I have to use my nebulizer where ever I am and I get weird looks and people making comments out loud when I am standing close by. I try really hard to ignore them or just give a quick smile after I finish my breathing treatment but it is hard! Love you guys! Ollie is so cute!

Yeah, I constantly get the questions and stares when I'm out with my service dog. I feel like a "walking tourist attraction". But I wouldn't be able to be independent without him.

This video is SO old, but seriously, the end just made my day. I've been dealing with debilitating anxiety the past month and seeing two people get so excited over a small toy was just so- I dunno. It's the little things in life, yah know~?

#HidingHeidi at 12:00 on Peter head 😂😂 and I didn't understand why this Kangourou makes you so happy !😊 ( french)

Is it weird that I cried when you got the kangaroo?! We love you three!！！！

I would have yelled 'can you please control your child'!!!!!!😂

my face hurts from smiling and lauging! yall are my reason for smiling every day. thank you and finally Kangaroo!!!!!

I loved the reaction to the Kangaroo! Congrats on getting it!! That made me smile. When you were talking about hope it reminded me of one of my favorite songs. It's called, Good Fight ~ Unspoken. I hadn't heard it in a while. I've been on a Tobymac kick latley. So I read the lyrics to it, and it helped me out. So thank you all.

I love how happy you guys get seeing the kangaroo. :D That made my day.

Sometimes people act like they've never seen a dog, like it's the most exotic creature, when a dog is inside a mall/store. I was confronted by a security guard the other day - it's a long story, I won't go into detail, but seeing a service dog seems to elicit the worst in people sometimes. This guard said I needed documentation to prove my dog is a service animal and to prove I am disabled. Hahahha! I said, "that's alot of documentation for a five minute movie stop" (I was stopping in the library to borrow a movie). It was absurd. Anyway, the incident concluded with a learning experience with the staff, the offender being relieved of his position (because of his reaction to his boss, not me). Sometimes, I don't have time or don't want to be the learning experience provider, know what I mean? I just want to get a movie. It's just a dog, helping me with things I can't do myself that others take for granted like reaching dropped items, transferring from wheelchair to chair, etc. The very kindest thing you can do when encountering a disabled person with a service dog in public is to PRETEND IT'S NOT THERE. OF COURSE you kissed the kangaroo! You've been waiting so long!

I love y'all guys!!! You make me smile.

I'm raising a dog for guide dogs for the blind so I get to take quest everywhere with me so I know how it feels to be the center of attention because you have a dog in the store

Hooray!!! The kangaroo! After all these vlogs this just made my day!

That cow on Peter's head... guess he's got beef on his mind. LOL

That kangaroo is really cool

Thank you for putting in acceptable words what I cannot! I rely on my service dog for my independence, but some days I just don't wanna do it. Thanks Mary and Peter (and Ollie too) Love from Taylor and Kirby

I've been watching your kinder time videos forever and can't believe u got the kangaroo !!!!!

I've just discovered you guys, and you two are genuinely so sweet

Are the kids parents THAT Clueless?????? Ur Child is running away from u screaming at a dog... like Um HELLO GET A CLUE!

12:29 he is tracing a halo around your head Mary, because you're an angel 😉❤😇

What a priceless reaction! So glad you finally got the kangaroo! I watched it 5 times I loved watching your reaction so much!

Love watching these vlogs! Xxx

The kangaroooooo! This was so worth finding while rewatching vlogs!

Every time you open a kinder egg I've been willing you to get that kangaroo...........and now youve finally got it!!! Woooo.....it brought a smile to my face :-) xxxx

I just found your videos and you two are soooo cute! I was drawn to the title because I have a service dog too. It was hard going from a nurse to needing a service dog. I had Rheumatic Fever as a child which caused scarring on my aortic valve. I was able to function normally until I reached the point of my valve only opening a little under half way and the symptoms really kicked in. His name is Happy and he alerts me to irregular heart beats which in turns keeps me from falling due to the light headedness and dizziness and he was with me for about a year when he started alerting to when my blood sugar was low also. The struggle is real with the general public and I wish more people understood that they need to just pretend that he's not there. He gave me back so much independence but at the same time made some simple things (a trip to WalMart) a pain in the butt. I was always taught not to just walk up to an unfamilar animal so it always surprises me at how many people think he's there for their entertainment. Of coarse there are those at the other end of the spectrum who are actually afraid of him too. Keep up the awesome videos and teaching people about service dogs and CF!

Just precious! Thinking of applying for a service dog for our son aged twelve who has medically unstable type one diabetes. It takes three years from start to finish but having a dog would not only provide him with independence but companionship. We also home school :-) Thanks for reminding me to smile x

And Peter had the Kinder egg kangaroo in his mouth. Lol that cracks me up.

Your videos help me address a lot of my fears with getting a diabetic alert dog (I'm a type one diabetic). I want one as I can't feel low blood sugars until I'm in the 30's and I can't wear a continuous glucose monitor (cgm) because I'm allergic to the adhesive. It will also help with my nighttime anxiety with low blood sugar. I just do not want to be singled out/ having a lot of attention. Thank you for showing the less glamorous sides of having a service dog ❤️

What terrible parenting. My son knows to always ask before touching a dog(he's 2.5) Some dogs don't like kids, and some dogs are aggressive. How would those parents react if there child got bit? (obviously Ollie, isn't like that I'm just saying in general).

i love you guys so much!!!

I have been here for a year well about and i love every video yall have put up❤️❤️ you

I can't believe it! You got it!! You really did!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!

IKR but still sooo convinient

It's all cos Oliver is EXTRA SUPER CUTE! I see service dogs (almost always a Labrador) and I wouldn't have the same reaction than I would if I saw you out with Olly - he would defintel for sure being a smile to my face and - I do know not to run up to him and pat him cos he IS a service dog - but boy it would be hard to resist... he's so cute I want to reach through my computer and give him a big smooch ❤️

I know that this is an older video, but if you haven't already, I think that patches saying "do not pet, working dog" would help because the parents may not have known that the kid couldn't touch Oliver because uneducated people may think that he is just there for mobility and they don't really need to be focused on their handler. Love your videos so much! They're very inspiring and keep up the great work❤️👍

Service dogs are wonderful. Jake (mobility assistance dog) is always looking out for me. I had outpatient surgery today and Jake had to wait in the waiting room w/ a friend of mine while I was in the OR. When I got out of recovery (had dystonia issues waking up from surgery) the nurses went to the waiting to get my friend and Jake. They said he popped up the miute they said my name and came trotting back looking for me behind all the curtains until he found me.

Oli is soo precious

Hiding Heidi on Peters head at 12:00 :D
