I’m so proud of this guy! 💙🥰

🐾💙 Meet Beau, Our Therapy Dog! 💙🐾

At North Lee, we know that learning happens best when students feel safe, supported, and cared for—and Beau is an important part of creating that environment!

Beau serves as our school therapy dog, providing comfort, encouragement, and a calming presence for students and staff throughout the school day. Whether he’s greeting students in the morning, visiting classrooms, listening to a student read, or simply offering a quiet moment during a difficult day, Beau has a special way of bringing smiles wherever he goes.

We’re so thankful to have Beau as part of the North Lee family. His gentle personality and unconditional love help make our school an even more welcoming place for everyone.

We can’t wait for our Rams to see Beau back on campus this year! ❤️💙

Therapy dogs Beau and Mabel had an amazing visit at the VA TN Valley Healthcare Clinic today! They were able to bring comfort and kindness to many veterans and their families. ❤️ 🇺🇸 It is an incredible honor to serve those who served. And a big shoutout to Marine veteran and Volunteer Coordinator Joshua Green for making it possible.

First day on the job at Walker Valley High School for Miss Oakley! I know she is going to bring so much love to the students and faculty. ❤️ I hope she and and all of her new friends have the best year ever.

Congrats to AKC STAR Puppy grad Ruthie! This girl is such a sweet nanny dog to her kiddos and has the best bo**ie wags in the biz. When Ruthie grows up, she wants to be an Olympic diver. 🤣 🏅Do you have a puppy who is dreaming of a career? I can help with that! DM me for more.

Many of you know my pack of 3 incredible dogs but… this is Bella… a sort of adopted member! She belongs to a dear friend of mine. I did a board and train with Bella a few years ago and her greatest need was regular exercise. Her person isn’t able to walk her though so, Bella and I get together for walks twice weekly. She is an absolute gem and her obedience is on point! So much so that when she walks by another dog on leash that isn’t under control… she tries to correct it. 🤣 So if you see Bella and me walking, and I take her off to the side and ask for her attention, it’s not because I’m worried your big dog will hurt her! It’s more for the protection of your big dog! 🤣

Yesterday I had the honor of helping Ladybug regain some of her independence! The paralysis in her back legs came on pretty quickly and her mom, and Vietnam veteran dad, recognized she was a little depressed… She couldn’t get up and be with them the way she always has. Ladybug is only 8 years old and still has a lot of life and love to give (witness her perked ears). The second she realized she could get to her people with her new ride, she was off! Back on duty again taking care of her humans! 🩷

I feel like my Weimaraner was secretly rooting for Germany and my Chihuahua for Mexico but Hoss is 100% Red, White, and Blue… through and through! Let’s GO USMNT!
