Shoulda Did My Homework - Tumblr Posts

small correction!

So, a commenter on my Instagram candidly (yet kindly!) pointed out that I recently made a bit of a blunder - I mistakenly put little Rain down as an emotional support PKMN (ESP) in my PKMN Black post about Ansy’s first Unovan adventure, when she’s actually more of service PKMN.

It’d been a looong time since I‘d looked into getting a one myself (never did, couldn’t afford one 😅), & going from my memory, I thought service animals trained specifically for more emotional / mental health ailments & disabilities were still considered “emotional support”, when in truth, emotional support animals, while they can be medically prescribed, don’t receive special training - like, your every day pet can be one (see chart below)

I’m very sorry to anyone who has a service animal or ESA - absolutely did not mean to spread misinfo about it. Hope this makes it right. 🥲 I’ve seen service animals in red as well as blue vests (as well as ESA’s in blue as well as red) so I’m a bit confused which is the right one. I’m just going say, “in the Pokemon world, they wear blue.”

PS: Rain doesn’t wear a vest anymore as a Vaporeon, & is considered a retired service PKMN.

PPS: someone actually told me the vest color doesn’t matter & can even be custom. The more you know! 🌈🌟
