We meant to post this sooner, but we couldn't bear the pain of putting it together. Frankly, we still can't, but we didn't want to go into the new year without saying thank you so much to everyone who attended Harriet's memorial and has been screaming alongside us.

It was a beautiful day. We were blown away by the amount of people who came to show their support, share their favorite Harriet story, and toast our perfect, perfect girl. We had such an amazing time, and we sent Harriet off in the only way she would've wanted - surrounded by all her best friends, whether she knew you or not, having the time of their life, and focusing all of their attention on her.

Harriet did not leave this world without a family. We are her family. We loved her unconditionally, and she knew it for every single day she was with us. And, both to make it official and because we're a little bit snotty, we cancelled out her adoption in our software system, and she was instead adopted by her foster, our founder, to ensure that in our hearts and on paper, Harriet is and always will be ours.

We are not done. We will be continuing our work to find ways to ensure this doesn't happen again in the new year. We will keep fighting for Harriet. We will not stop.

Ever wonder what a $12,180.78* dog looks like? Like this!

In *nine* short months, this sucker has cost us a small fortune. And we'd do it again and again because, even though he's a crotchety fellow, he is worth every single penny and deserves to be healthy and happy.

Wyatt had his emotional support spatula removed from his belly this morning, and he is home resting comfortably. The vet tried inducing vomiting in a last ditch effort to avoid surgery, and, though Wy did not throw up his spatula, he did throw up a stuffy. 🫠 There were also wads of fabric found in his stomach that are assumed to have been there since before his time with O&Co.

When we picked him up from the vet, he was happily slurping baby food out of the jar directly from the vet's hand. And if you know Wyatt, you know this is a big deal for him, whether he was high or not.

We're hoping we get to take a little break from Wyatt vet visits for a while, and we're just so grateful to Riverwest Veterinary Clinic for always taking the best care of him. They accept him for the goon he is and meet him where he's at every. single. time.

The next time you gripe about our rescue's, or any rescue's, adoption fees, remember Wyatt. Standard adoption fees don't come close to covering *basic* veterinary care - exam, vaccinations, bloodwork, spay/neuter. They don't even make a dent in covering the cost of dogs like Wyatt. We all have a Wyatt, with larger or medical-case specific rescues having multiple Wyatt's. Be nice.

It’s been a minute since we shared a Wyatt update, and we know his fan club has been patiently waiting.

True to form, he’s a resilient little sucker and he’s doing absolutely amazing with his recovery. He had a few rough weeks after going off his pain meds, but he turned a real corner last week and has been tearing around ever since.

He had his X-ray check up last week, and his surgeon is very pleased with how well he’s healing. He’s been cleared for moving out of his pen, and is slowly getting back to normal life, including his very favorite activity, lounging on the couch. 🥹

His foster home is still lined with yoga mats, has a makeshift doggy gym in the dining room, and will continue rehabbing to ensure Wyatt gets his range of motion and muscle mass back 100% over the next few months.

In true Wyatt fashion, he will remain the center of attention because on January 22nd he’ll be having foreign body surgery. 🫠 During a training session he tore off the head of a spatula and swallowed it whole in, literally, under a second. It was confirmed to still be living in his belly when he had his X-rays last week. Thankfully, it’s too big to move out of his stomach, so we’re not in an emergent situation, but we don’t want him living with a spatula in his tum for eternity. So surgery it is. 😬

Wyatt will resume training with the hot dog ladies after the holidays, and while we expect some backsliding, we’re hopeful he’ll quickly remember his favorite people.

Thank you to everyone who has rallied behind our sweet boy. We’re so grateful to be able to give him all the care he needs and deserves. And, probably, we will be putting him in a bubble after his next (and hopefully last!) surgery.

No one loves a long line sniff adventure more than Bingham. This boy has come so far since he joined O&Co, and we are so proud of him. His foster has been doing amazing work and allowing him to go at his pace, so he can build confidence and trust while becoming the very best version of himself.

Bing B**g is the happiest little bundle of joy, he's a glass half full guy, and he's still looking for his family in the hopes of being home for the holidays.

Remember when we used to share good news? We've got some! 🎉

Out sweet, chonky Fiona, now known as Trudy, found her family! She has two wonderful parents and two human siblings who cannot get enough of her. She's settling in so well, and we are so over the moon happy for her.

This girl has been THROUGH it. From emaciated with burns all over her body to the happiest, wiggliest hippo. This was the reminder we all needed to keep us going.

Happy, happy life sweet girl. We couldn't be more proud. 🩷

She's home.

While we are all still devastated and deep in our grief, wondering how tf we got here, we all took a huge sigh of relief last night when we got her back.

Harriet's story isn't over. But we finally get to close this chapter, and we could not be more grateful that she gets to rest where she belongs. That is in huge part to the outcry heard from all of you. So, thank you. 🤝

We aren't done. We will continue screaming for Harriet and doing the work to ensure there are no more Harriets after her. But, for the rest of this week, we are collectively taking a very much needed and deserved break, allowing ourselves to settle in our grief and recharge our batteries so we can keep fighting.

Welcome home, Harriet. 💕

Today we say “see you later” to the heart and soul of O&Co. How we get through it, we truly don’t know. But we sincerely hope you’ll join us, so we can send our perfect Harriet off in the only way she would’ve wanted - surrounded by people she loved with her whole soul, regardless of whether or not she’d met them.

The world could use more Harriets. The world has lost someone truly special. We wish the world was a better place.

Please join us today from 12:00-2:00p at Puddler's Hall. There will be so many tears, but even more happy, heartwarming, and hysterical memories of our girl.

We love you, Harriet. So f*cking much.
