🐾 Meet Nash — the sweetest little guy with a big heart and an even bigger love for his emotional support toy. 💛

Sometimes, Nash needs his favorite ball in tow just to feel brave enough to go outside. That toy has seen all four (sometimes five!) laps around the neighborhood… unless Nash catches an interesting smell and forgets all about it. 😅

Does your fur baby have a comfort toy they must have on walks or car rides? Drop a pic below—we’d love to see them! 🐶

Sometimes I’m able to squeeze in a quick, last-minute check-in, like I did over Fourth of July weekend. One of my regular clients reached out to see if I could swing by and walk their pup, and of course I said yes. When they got home, they let me know they had left a little something for me on the porch—and honestly, it just made my day.

💙🐾 We wanted to share this powerful article from Texas Monthly about the recent floods in Central Texas. It highlights the heartbreaking losses families have faced, and the incredible resilience of pets who’ve survived and are waiting to be reunited with loved ones.

It’s a reminder of the deep bond we share with our animals — and how much they mean to us, especially in times of crisis.

Kerrville and Austin Pets Alive have rescued many dogs and cats whose owners and homes have been lost.

I recently had the opportunity to watch Lil Junie a couple of weeks ago. She embodies the perfect blend of spice and sweetness! She is fascinated by water….till she has to take a bath 😂😂

Remember this girl?

After taking her to the vet, we’ve learned a bit more about her. She’s around three years old and wasn’t spayed when we found her (she is now—pictured here with her cone after being spayed by the Arizona Humane Society).

She was about five pounds underweight, but her fur was in surprisingly good condition aside from some extra shedding.

She’s officially found a place in our home, and we’ve named her Willow.

Willow has a huge personality—she’s a bit stubborn, sometimes lazy, but she’s full of energy and always ready to go, go, go. She’s still not the biggest fan of my cat, Gremlin (and the feeling is mutual).

She makes a complete mess when she drinks water and is very determined to chase every duck and neighborhood cat she sees.

That said, she’s incredibly well-behaved at farmers markets and pet stores, and she absolutely loves making new friends wherever she goes.

I’ll try to share more updates about her from time to time! 🐾

FOUND DOG Purebred Husky

I was driving on seventh and I saw a random dog on the side in the neighborhood of seventh and Vermont.

I had Arizona Humane Society officers come out look at her. They were unable to take her because she was not injured enough or something like that.

They said for me to call County or take the dog in. I am doing both.

So if you want a dog come and get her. From what I can tell, she is very well behaved.

She has been walking for quite some time because her nails are basically gone. One of them have broken off

Swiping Right for the Real MVPs: The Pets

As a 25-year-old woman navigating the chaotic world of dating apps, I’ve developed a simple but foolproof swiping system: pets equal priority. No pet in the profile? I might pause, analyze, and debate. But if there’s a dog, cat, or any kind of furry (or even scaly) friend? That’s a guaranteed 25% increase in swipe probability.

Of course, once we match, my first line is rarely about the guy himself. Instead, the real star of the show gets all the attention:
— “What’s their name?”
— “How old are they?”
— “Are they your pet, or did you strategically borrow them for this photo?”

The responses vary. Some proudly gush about their beloved fur baby, while others sheepishly admit, “Oh yeah, that’s actually my sister’s dog.” I’ve even had a guy confess he borrowed a friend’s golden retriever for one afternoon just to get better matches. Honestly? I respect the hustle.

Do these conversations always lead to a date? Not necessarily. But do I regret swiping just to talk about someone’s pet for five minutes? Never. Because in the end, I may not always find love—but at least I always find a cute or funny animal to obsess over.

( come on tell me this isn’t funny 😆)

🐆 The Bengal Cat: A Miniature Wild Beauty 🐆 My sister got to pet sit this beauty in the Biltmore neighborhood.

🏡 Temperament: Active, Intelligent, Affectionate
🎨 Coat Patterns: Rosettes, Spots, Marbled

💦 Loves Water? Yes!

💸 Why Are Bengal Cats So Expensive?

1️⃣ Exotic Appearance: Their wild-like coat and muscular build make them highly sought after.
2️⃣ Breeding Difficulty: Early generations require careful breeding to maintain temperament and health.
3️⃣ Pedigree & Lineage: Purebred Bengals from champion bloodlines can cost thousands.
