Thanksgiving looked a bit different this year. To say that I am experiencing a range of emotions and wondering how to cope is an understatement 😭

💜 In 2018, our worst fears were confirmed — my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After 6 years of surgeries, chemo treatments, targeted radiation therapy, infections, hospital stays and complications, we’re ALL exhausted, to put it lightly.

💜 The shock of being told your father has pancreatic cancer is not a feeling I will ever forget. The dread of wondering where that road would lead for our family quickly sank in as we learned more about the disease. Most don’t make it nearly as long as my dad has, so for that I am eternally grateful.

💜 Still, I am not ready to say goodbye to him, not one fu***ng bit. This is a reality that nobody could have prepared me for. My dad is absolutely the best. He has always been an open set of ears, one of my biggest supporters, and a coach to all the things life has brought. I’m having an extremely difficult time thinking about the fact that one day, who knows how soon, I will be missing him terribly. The pain I’m feeling is immeasurable.

💜 I have been continuing my dad’s fight, all these years later by supporting a foundation called PanCAN (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network). I have participated in PurpleStride every year, volunteered locally, donated and fundraised. While it can sometimes feel like it is not happening fast enough, the advancements and progress we have seen over the past 6 years have truly been incredible.

💜 For my birthday (12/1), I am hosting a fundraiser to raise $500 for PanCAN via Facebook. If you’re able to donate to support a good cause, that would truly mean the world (link is in the bottom of my bio above). Every little bit helps If you can’t, I completely understand that as I know this time of year can be tough financially for many. Either way, I appreciate you for reading this far into my caption. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

EVERYONE, MEET COCOA 😉🧡

Cocoa, wild and sweet pup, hails from Ensenada, Mexico. She was rescued by an amazing team after being found tied to a tree. Now, at two years old, she’s living her best life! She’s the sweetest little menace you’ll ever meet! 🫶🏼🇲🇽

Does your pup love to play fetch? Cocoa is obsessed with her ball (tennis balls too), and a good game of fetch 🐾🎾

How many hours a day do you think Dusty naps? 😉 Do consider the fact that she’s 18+ years old!

Dusty is a simple senior gal; loves to play with string 🧶

Cats are fascinated by strings due to their natural hunting instincts and curiosity. Here are some reasons why cats like strings:

🔸 Prey instinct: Cats are born to hunt, and strings mimic the movement of small prey like mice or snakes. The movement and texture of strings trigger their instinct to chase and pounce.

🔸 Curiosity: Cats are naturally curious creatures, and strings offer a novel and interesting stimulus for them to explore.

🔸 Texture and sensation: Cats enjoy the feel of strings under their paws and the sensation of batting them around.

🔸 Play and exercise: Playing with strings provides cats with a fun way to exercise their muscles, practice their hunting skills, and burn off energy.

🔸 Interactive play: Strings allow for interactive play between you and your cat, which strengthens your bond and provides mental stimulation for your feline friend.

Please remember to always supervise playtime with strings to avoid accidental ingestion or entanglement.

Happy International Dog Day! 🐶🐾🐕🐩

We love our dogs, A LOT. More than 65 million U.S. households own one, making dogs our most popular pets. International Dog Day, held every year on August 26, celebrates the bond between humans and their dogs and encourages dog ownership of all breeds.

International Dog Day was established in 2004 by pet and family lifestyle advocate, Colleen Paige. The date marks the anniversary of the day her family adopted her first dog from an animal shelter when Colleen was 10 years old.

A big THANK YOU to our most popular four-legged friends. How do dogs enrich your life? 🫶🏼♥️ Please give them some extra smooches and snuggles today!

Lots of this over the last four mornings with Sadie 🐕💕 What about y’all?

Morning snuggles can be beneficial for both humans and dogs. Sleeping increases oxytocin levels in dogs, which is known as the “love hormone”. This usually makes them more affectionate and in the mood for a solid cuddle session when they wake up. Snuggling with dogs also releases oxytocin levels in humans, which contributes to feelings of trust and empathy. This helps to strengthen the bond between you and your pups.
