This is Summer… she needs a home. Be g fostered in the Old Ocean area, but going to a rescue tomorrow unless a family is found that can take her in. Very sweet 3 year old Great Dane, with papers, that just has her first litter.

Being fostered because her owner lost her husband right before Beryl, then her house to Beryl. She couldn’t take her with her to her new place, and the foster family is helping her out as much as they can. She’s got a daughter 10-12 she’s trying to raise and nothing is going right in her life.

Contact me via Messenger for info if you have space in your home and heart for this girl!

Asking for prayers. My love to everyone who reads this. Let's pray for each other today because prayers are needed right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. I ask my family and friends, wherever you might be, to kindly post this status for one hour to whisper a prayer for all of those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, or worries of any kind and need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of my family and friends just for moral support. I did it for someone else, and you can, too!
♥️I copied & posted to my wall. Done!

Wow! What a transformation! Diamonds In The Ruff Grooming has been grooming our College Station pups since they went home with their forever family! That’s right. Family. Singular. The Wilson’s were so enamored with our Barney, er, Major Barney Kingston Wilson the First, that when they met our The Houdini Brothers Dash — now Sir Dasher Washington Wilson — they fell in love and had to take him home with them to be a true brother to his brother…

We love the page. So much good information…

Do you have a dog that reacts to triggers? Have an exit strategy and practice it with your dog!

DO YOU HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY?
An exit strategy for dogs is something that is pre planned and continually practiced until it becomes second nature.

Having this plan in place has huge benefits for dogs that react to triggers in the environment - be it other dogs, children, people, cyclists, skateboards or similar.

The exit strategy of quickly increasing distance when a trigger appears decreases stress levels, provides an opportunity to process information and helps dogs learn to respond in a different way from a space of safety.

Practicing quick U-turns, a sudden change in direction, speeding up or even hiding behind a tree are all useful ways of creating a strategy. Over time, some dogs will learn to remove themselves from a trigger on their own, before they start panicking, having learnt that moving away is an option they have.

Forcing a dog to face whatever is triggering them results in increased anxiety, stress or fear. They won’t just get used to it. A brain that is flooded with cortisol (the stress hormone) is unable to learn, process information, think clearly, or make better decisions.

After a long time of using exit strategies with one of my dogs that is reactive, she has begun to move away and create her own distance. Through practicing this pattern of creating distance she has realized that this is what she should do when that scary thing appears.

Some dogs may never get to this stage, and that’s also ok. Each dog is an individual, with different genetics, backgrounds and learning experiences. Accept your dog for who they are.

Think about how we may use exit strategies to help us cope and how they make us feel better.

Some time ago I suffered from debilitating panic attacks after a series of traumatic and life changing events. I couldn’t drive on a highway or be in an enclosed space. My daughter was graduating from university and I could not miss this event, but what if I had a panic attack in the auditorium, couldn’t get out and embarrassed her and myself?

A therapist that I was seeing at the time helped me to develop an exit strategy which enabled me to cope. I arrived at the venue early and found a seat right next to the exit. If I started panicking, I could just leave through the door. Just knowing that this option was available made such a difference to my state of mind and I ended up being able to make it through the entire ceremony.

The same strategy helped me cope on highways. I just had to drive to the next exit.. and then the next and the next if I felt up to it.

Sometimes we all need an exit strategy, our dogs included. It’s not about running away from or not facing a problem, but developing a plan to help us or our dogs cope in a situation where we’re uncomfortable.

Spot’s still looking for his people. He’s seeking a Guardian Home in the Pearland to Lake Jackson area.

This.

As we were waiting to eat in Hattiesburg tonight my baby saw this Army Soldier and as he was walking in she said thank you for your service and he didn’t hear her.
When he walked back out she was shy so I said sir I don’t think you heard her a minute ago but she said thank you for your service! He said thank you and he appreciated it so he walked to his vehicle and got in.
Then he got out of his vehicle and walked up to Macie and said can you hold on to something for me and he pointed to his right arm at the 🇺🇸 and told Macie to take it off and hang on to it! Y’all talking about chills and tears!
I try and teach my kids to when they see a man or woman in uniform to thank them!

Y’all… families fell through for these two boys this week, so we’re just taking that as a sign that they just weren’t their forever people!

We’re back looking for a Guardian Home for our Spot on the left — must be in the South Houston area from Sugarland on the West to Galveston on the SE. And searching for a family that might be looking for an ESA or a dog that will ALWAYS bring you a toy and greet you with the most soulful and loving eyes — that’s our Splash on the right.

Contact us for info on these beautiful chocolate Australian Labradoodles today!
