If you missed our plant event, but wanted some plants, or if you're looking for a hostess gift or centerpiece for the holidays, we've got you covered!
There were a few pots and plants left after the event, plus Justin, from Plant Parenthood, donated the pot he staged at the event.
We're asking $30 for the great apple. $60 for the beautiful 2 tiered, barn style, serving tray.
We'll also throw in with each, a cute little dog bowl planter.

We had such a great time at our friend Michelle Knox Parker business Chi-cuterie a couple of weeks ago. We are so thankful for her honoring our rescue and inviting us out for the 1st Barks and Brews❤️. Michelle also has created candles in memory of our boy Winston, aka Winnie and his brother Bernie, that part of those proceeds will be donated to the rescue. We will post more and the link to purchase. The candles are named Winnie's Garden and Bernie's Bourbon Library Candle... These boys were so special and so loved I personally feel blessed to be part of their lives. We are so grateful for the love and wonderful home our Winston had.

We had so much fun and met so many wonderful people at the event. Our pups were thrilled with all the love and attention they were given. The day of the event, she had musician Steve Mast, who is so very talented that we enjoyed every song he sang! Also, Brother Chimp Brewery and Mount Ara who donated some great dog treats for the pups. Michelle and this wonderful talented group graciously followed up after the event with a generous and loving donation for the rescue. Thank you all so very much. We appreciate all your support.

So stay tuned for more information on the candles.. and hopefully, we will be back out there in 2025.

But in the meantime, please go show some love to Michelle and her team at Chi-Cuterie in Geneva. Her business is so special, everything Michelle does has purpose, meaning, love, and so much passion.. it's the perfect time as many start to get together with friends and family for the holidays. They do wine tasting, bourbon tasting, charcuterie events, and such a beautiful store - you can get some of your holiday shopping finished.

Enjoy the pictures from the day, as well. I had the privilege of pup sitting Bernie and Winston a few times and sharing some of those pictures ❤️🐾🐶

Taking your dog for a walk should be fun for both of you! Here are some simple tips to make leash walking smoother:

1. Use a comfortable leash & harness – A well-fitting harness or collar helps your dog feel secure.
2. Start slow – Practice indoors or in a quiet area before heading out to busier places.
3. Keep treats handy – Reward good behavior to encourage a loose leash walk!
4. Be consistent – Use the same commands, like "heel" or "let’s go."
5. Be patient & positive – Dogs learn at their own pace, so be patient and make it fun!

Happy walking! 🐾

Sunday 7pm update on Sophia.... today started with a 5am update from the vet. She wasn't eating any food. Her blood pressure and blood sugar were good. Her Iv fluids needed to be reduced. The xrays taken over night showed no obstruction, thankfully. The barium was moving but slowly. We needed to re run her bloodwork to see if her levels were still improving before putting her on Metoclopramide for her tummy. She was given a food stimulant around 3:15 - 3:30. Shortly before the stimulant we decided to bring Sophia her BFF Rocco.. she was so happy to see her friend. Between seeing her friend and the stimulant we finally were able to get her to eat a little KFC and cheese!!! By 4:45 the stimulant kicked in full gear and she was now looking for food to eat. They re ran her blood work in the afternoon and all of her levels have improved, most were at normal levels and the rest going in the right direction Please see the pictures and videos of our sweet girl coming back to us. We are so thankful to everyone for all the prayers, she has heard them!! Thank you to those who generously donated towards Sophia's medical expenses. With your support so far we have raised over 50% of the emergency bill. If you are interested in donating towards Sophia's medical expenses you can send through Chase,Zelle,or Paypal using our email [email protected]. OR Venmo using @atailof4paws Please continue to say prayers for Sophia. If she continues to improve overnight we are told they could send her home as early as tomorrow morning.
