🐶 Mother, I have had enough of your bed changing shenanigans. Stop this instant and immediately begin massaging my Royal velvet burrito body for at least 30 minutes. Then I require my peanut butt be fondled and squeezed until I’ve had enough.

When I am old(er)…

I will wear soft gray sweatshirts and a bandana over my silver hair, and I will spend my social security checks on my dogs. I will sit in my house on my well-worn chair and listen to my dogs’ breathing. I will sneak out in the middle of a warm summer night and take my dogs for a run, if my old bones will allow.

When people come to call, I will smile and nod as I show them my dogs, and talk of them and about them. The ones so beloved of the past, and the ones so beloved of today...

I will still work hard cleaning after them, mopping and feeding them and whispering their names in a soft loving way. I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat, like a jewel, and I will be an embarrassment to all, who have not yet found the peace in being free to have dogs as your best friends.

These friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall, and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep, to greet you as if you are a God, with warm eyes full of adoring love and hope that you will always stay.

I’ll hug their big strong necks, I’ll kiss their dear sweet heads, and whisper in their very special company.

I look in the mirror, and see I am getting older, this is the kind of person I am and have always been. Loving dogs is easy, they are part of me so please accept me for who I am. My dogs appreciate my presence in their lives, they love my presence in their lives.

When I am old this will be important to me and you will understand when you are old, if you have dogs to love too ❤️

Bonsoir! Je m’appelle Maya. J’ai passé une bonne journée. Bonne nuit, les petits. ❤️

The sweater might be from Poland but mom says she is totally getting French vibes. Francis told mom she should practice her French if she wants to ever make French jokes here 😎She should also cross fingers to NOT find 💩 in her shoes tomorrow morning 🤣🤣

For me a house becomes a home when you add one set (or two, or four, or a million) of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love that we call a dog. 🐾

Dogs are minor angels, and I don’t mean that facetiously. They love unconditionally, forgive immediately, are the truest of friends, willing to do anything that makes us happy, etcetera. If we attributed some of those qualities to a person we would say they are special.

If they had ALL of them, we would call them angelic. But because it’s “only” a dog, we dismiss them as sweet or funny but little more. However when you think about it, what are the things that we most like in another human being?

Many times those qualities are seen in our dogs every single day— we’re just so used to them that we pay no attention.

Every year, everything I have ever learned in my lifetime, leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss whose other side is salvation, whose meaning none of us will ever know.

To live in this world we must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Love knows no dimension, place or time. It transcends the physical world, far past the reaches of our earthly capabilities. Love is a flame of fire and light that will always be my beacon when all else seems to go dark.

And no matter what, love will always find us. Always.

That’s the thing about love. You think it’s gone forever and then it sparkles right back through about a hundred different galaxies to get to you. Lolusia’s love will continue to come thundering across the sky every night and right into my heart. Even though I cannot see her, I will always feel her. Even though she is swirling through the stars on a very, very big adventure to another time and place - I am certain she will continue to find me, as she will assure I remember her lessons of love.

Friendships don’t end - they dance on and endlessly on. Lolusia is my dance now. She was my turbo diesel universe and all the tiny stars within it. And she’ll always be the candle that lights the path on especially dark nights.

To earn the love of an old friend like Lolusia is the greatest gift the universe could ever given me. And so she is gone - and yet she remains. Right here. At my feet. Just like she always was.

She will run just as she did that first day I met her - scampering clumsily towards my feet. Yes, just as she did that first day we met her - when she promised a liftetime of laughter, kindness and adventure.

Lolusia, you are missed so much! 🖤

🐶: “Mother, I must insist that you cease whatever bathing shenanigans you are occupying yourself with, and cometh here this minute and massage my inner hammocks. OR I will be very displeased with you.”
👧🏼: “Excuse me, but I’d like some privacy. Do you mind?”
🐶: *stares with a judgmental look*

“and maybe I loved you in another life and I promised you that I would find you, somewhere on the other side, or maybe you’ve always been in my subconscious, nudging me this way and pulling me that way until I found you, I don’t know, but I do know I’ve felt you more than one life should allow.” - Jm.

Four trips around the sun with Sir Francis🌞

Happy Gotcha Day, stinker!!! ❤️

On May 28th back in 2020, a call for help was placed by local law enforcement to South Suburban Humane Society. A hoarding/puppy mill situation in Melrose Park, IL got a little out of hand and dogs varying in age were rescued. Everyone worked tirelessly for 24 hours to process all dogs- some went straight to foster homes (shout-out to all those amazing people who line up in times of need!!) and those with medical issues were kept with the humane society for a bit longer.

Mom donated to care for those dogs and filled out an adoption application right away.

A few weeks later, she was invited to participate in a Zoom meeting. Dogs were being released in batches of about 10/13 dogs at a time. That Zoom call had over 200 participants!

On June 18th, 2020 she received the most wonderful email- one dog was ready to come home with her.Adoption documents were finalized and mom paid the adoption fee. She went to pick Francis up the following day- June 19th, 2020.

We all think it’s safe to say- things are going well ❤️

Ps. Don’t upset our mom by buying your fuzzy friends from a breeder- always adopt! ❤️

Happy birthday to our human and Sir Francis. It was cuddles xtreme all evening in this house and a huuuuuuuge love fest! ❤️ We woof you! 🐾

May 28th is the day Snoozer found mom at PAWS back in 2011 and opened the doors to all unwanted and discarded dogs (and cats, too!) into our family’s home and hearts. While Snoozer’s actual birthday remained unknown as he was found stuck under a dumpster, May 28th was a very special day while he was with us.

Aaaaaaand… really cool fact: Francis was one of the 43 dogs rescued from a puppy mill/hoarding case. She never met him in person and finalized the adoption based on a very bad photo that she saw during a Zoom meeting with the rescue. Also- mom didn’t know Francis shared her birthday until she received proof of vaccines a week after adoption was finalized. This was meant to be. Don’t you think? 🦄

I wil endure a lifetime of missing you for the privilege of loving you ❤️
