Daisy, what’s the weather today? 🌧️
Don’t look now but it’s crazy and wet, with stray fish!
Thanks for the fish toy, 😆

Years ago, I learned that thousands of dogs and cats every year were being euthanized in the shelter of my small hometown. It was mind boggling learning that a livestock auction near us ships horses over the border into Mexico for slaughter. Over the last 12 years, my husband and I have housed four rescue donkeys, four rescue horses, a rescue cat, and five rescue dogs. We know the difference it has made in each of their individual lives, knowing their stories. Moreso, we know that when people come together, a big impact can be had.
We ask that you stand with us in loving animals more than loving profit. That’s exactly where Daisy came from… not love, but humans looking to make a profit. When she was injured in the breeder’s care, they then wanted to shoot her because she was “of no use to them anymore”. Despite admitting she had a broken bone in her face, she wasn’t seen by a vet or shown compassion, just sentenced to death at their own hands.
Are there breeders who love their dogs? Yes. But so many pure bred dogs end up in area shelters, including two of our own pure bred dogs that we adopted from death row at the shelter in our hometown.
Please, spread the word to love animals more than profit. Support your local shelters and rescues. They are bursting at the seams over capacity. If you are looking for a specific breed, please check rescues or insist on meeting the breeder’s dogs to ensure you’re not financially supporting a puppy mill.
Above all, be kind to each other and to animals. 💛
Me: telling my dog how much I love them.
My dog:
Anyone else’s “kids” look at them this way? The judgement is brutal 🤣
Find the joy in each day. Like even though Mom threw that toy away, I had so much fun shredding it! 😆
Mom says I’m a “hoarder”. What does that mean? 🦴🎾🧸🚀
Happy Friday! ☀️
We have three senior dogs and one puppy… any guesses who is who? 😅💛
Oh, you’re organizing? Do you need my rocket ship?! 🚀
Look, I can levitate!
This is definitely not what begging looks like. Nuh uh. Definitely not begging.🙅♀️
I’m not crying, you’re crying. 💛💛💛
Returning back to work after a long holiday weekend vs a regular workday.
Sweet Daisy is so cute when she first wakes up. 🤗💛
Next to her brother, Forrest, it’s also more evident about the growth plates in Daisy’s face being stunted. Forrest weighs just a couple pounds more than her. She’s absolutely precious and perfect the way she is though.
She may not know what we’re celebrating, but she’s always the life of the party! 🎉
Thank you all for being a huge part of our 2023 and Daisy’s first year of living! Wishing you all a very happy 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣. 💛

I haven’t even been alive a whole year… and you’re saying I have to be good a WHOLE year for Santa to bring me more toys and treats? I dunno, Mom… that just doesn’t seem right… surely I can be a little bad, right?
Happy Holidaisy 🌼
We wish you wonderful memories being made with loved ones this holiday season.

There are normal families. Then, there’s MY family…
Tag your crazy family member 😜
Hey. Mom says I should chew this bone instead of brother’s leg. 🙃🌼
Merry Christmas, fur-riends! I know you’re all on the nice list. Hope your day is filled with joy, warmth, and loved ones!
Love, Daisy & fam 💛🎄
I’m usually the first to wake and the last to sleep in our house, but I thought I should practice sleeps for when Santa Paws comes tonight. I’ve been working hard to make sure he brings “good dog” presents🎅🎄
Pro puppy tip: if you sit on your parents’ chest, they can’t possibly forget what a gift you are, reminding them to buy you Christmas presents. 🎁
Hey, my name is Daisy 👋 and I’m a second string reindeer for Santa Paws!
Yes mom… yes yes, I know I’m always first string in your heart.
Mom made me go to work today. This close to Christmas, it’s all hands and paws on deck in Santa’s Worksh… uh, I mean, the print shop.
What do you mean “we should throw away toys when I break them”? That just doesn’t sound right, Mom…
** whispers loving words to half a ball** 🎾💛
🎶Here come Daisy paws, here come Daisy paws 🎶 she’s getting in the spirit for her first Christmas! (She may have heard cookies and toys were involved 😉.)
Reversible Christmas Bandana:
So I’m supposed to just LET the stranger grown man (that likes to play dress up) break in through our fireplace and eat our cookies?! But he doesn’t like dog treat for sure, right? Ok… I don’t know, Mom… this just doesn’t seem right. 🎅
This big girl is now eight months old and 41.7lbs!
And this is Daisy reprimanding me for talking about a lady’s weight. 🤷🏼♀️😄
“Moooommmm, i’m like a teenager now. All my friends are drinking Starbucks!” ☕️
Flashback Friday to the sweet little squish in July! 🤗 She’s blooming into one beautiful, wild flower.
P.s. we did get the picture 😆💛
In case you missed it, check the personality photo posted a few days ago. Daisy and her brothers always keep us laughing
