Happy Father’s Day!! Good fathers are gifts and are not to be under valued. 🎁

I miss mine tremendously but am grateful that Zach has a good one—and that I still have more than one great father figure. ✨💙💙

Here’s to all the present, hardworking, and dedicated dads. Your wives and kids couldn’t have the lives they do if it weren’t for you and your faithful love!! ❤️🙌🏼

This crew is wild and crazy and has lots of fun!! ✴️🫨

Meet Salmon (black pointer), Chewy (brown pointer), Nugz (8-month-old boxer and the newest addition to the crew), and Zazu (teacup chihuahua)! 🐾 They were big fans of their kennel being on the cool, AC-cooled garage floor 🥵❄️

The big, athletic girls are all about fetch and rowdy play, and little Zazu just wants cuddles and closeness! 💕

And yes, they all live together! Can you believe it? 😆 We had a fantastic couple of days toughing out the heat together! ☀️

"They tell you not to cry.
They tell you he's just a dog, not a human.
They tell you it will pass.
They tell you that animals do not know that they must die.
They tell you that the important thing is not to make them suffer.
They tell you that you can get another one.
They tell you it will happen.
They tell you there are more unbearable pains.
But they don't know how many times you've looked your dog in the eye.
They don't know how many times it was you and your dog that looked in the dark.
They don't know how many times your dog was the only one by your side.
They don't know that the only one who hasn't judged you is your dog.
They don't know how scared you were the night his moans woke you up.
They don't know how many times your dog has slept next to you.
They don't know how much you've changed since the dog became a part of your life.
They don't know how many times you hugged him when he was sick.
They don't know how many times you pretended not to see when his hair was getting whiter and whiter.
They don't know how many times you've talked to your dog, the only one who really listens to you.
They don't know how good you were to your dog.
Little do they know that only your dog knew you were in pain.
They don't know what it's like to see your old dog trying to come over and say hello.
They don't know that when things go wrong, the only one who isn't gone is your dog.
They don't know that your dog trusts you, every moment of his life, even at the last moment.
They don't know how much your dog loved you and how little he needed to be happy, because you were enough for him.
They don't know that crying for a dog is one of the noblest, most meaningful, truest and purest things you can do.
They don't know about the last time you rocked him hard ... being careful not to hurt him.
They don't know what you felt when you caressed his face in the last moments of his life"
From dad ❤️😥

Welles & Quinn hosted a great hangout with Moe & Pixie!! 😁🐾🎉

05/24/2024

It’s day 15 of 16 with Moe and Pixie, the “squirts,” and I’m already dreading tomorrow. 🥺 They’ve become such a big part of my daily routine—Zach’s too.

In these two weeks, they’ve proven that dogs generally don’t care what you do or where you go. They just want to be with you. 🫶🏼

They had no idea that parking at Applebee’s was just an excuse to walk to Kohl’s—so many new smells in a parking lot! 🅿️

Or that tagging along to the Crib meant a meeting for me and a walk around Third Street for them—before and after.

Picking up a prescription at Walgreens? They were right there with me in the drive-thru, and then we turned it into a walk on the path behind the store.

Sometimes, our rides were just for my errands, but they didn’t mind. They loved the adventure whether it was before, after, or both. 💛

Other times, we drove to awesome places like Mount Marquette or the ore dock. 🌅

But to them, it didn’t matter if it was a stunning view or the Kohl’s parking lot. They were just happy to be included!! 🐶🐶

It was so cool to volunteer at their event yesterday at the fire hall! 🐾

Dogs in the “HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response” class heard and smelled what an operational firefighter and fire truck is like.
