When your dog was “debarked” from a deplorable human being who exploited her before you rescued her and gave her an amazing new life and chance to be a dog

I was so grateful to return as a judge for the 2025 Webbsminster Dog Show for the second year in a row. Every single pup who strutted their stuff deserved a perfect score—it was truly the hardest job!

One little superstar, our very own adoptable Howdy, absolutely stole the show ✨ and I’m thrilled to share that he found his forever home shortly after. Yay, Howdy! 🏡💙

Thank you to everyone who made this event such a tail-wagging success:
and all the incredible humans and pups who joined us.

And of course, endless gratitude to and to everyone who continues to support and our mission to give animals the second chances they deserve. 🐶🏆

💅 My cat got a NOSE JOB yesterday. Yup, you read that right.

He had stenotic nares surgery with the amazing Dr. Mayne at . For those who don’t know, stenotic nares surgery is a procedure that widens the nostrils in flat-faced (brachycephalic) cats and dogs, allowing them to breathe normally.

Because his little face is so extremely smushed, Dr. Mayne actually had to perform a new, more advanced technique since he didn’t have enough tissue for the standard approach. And let me tell you—it’s already made a huge difference. He’s recovering beautifully and for the first time in his life, he no longer sounds like Darth Vader when he breathes.

This is a surgery I didn’t even know existed until recently (shout out to ) and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Seeing his “before” photos is heartbreaking—he literally had no functional nasal airway to breathe out of, all because he was bred for that extreme “moon face” look.

This is exactly why we should stop breeding animals for exaggerated appearances. Flat faces may look “cute” to people, but for the animals, it means a lifetime of struggling to breathe, higher anesthetic risks, dental issues, eye problems, and so much more.

Today, he’s breathing easier, feeling better, and finally living with the comfort every animal deserves.

So yes, my cat is officially post-op and thriving with his brand-new designer nose. 👃✨

I’ve been dreading writing this, but I need to share. 💔

On Sunday, my tiny foster Count Scratchula began to decline, and by Monday morning he was gone. We did everything we could, but we got him too late—his little body just couldn’t fight anymore.

I loved him deeply, and it’s taken me a few days to find the words because saying goodbye never gets easier. What I do know is that he was safe, he was loved, and he left this world knowing warmth instead of loneliness. Some souls are just too big for life on earth side.

Fly free, sweet Count Scratchula. 🕊️🖤
