☀️ Enjoying the beautiful weather with lunch on the back deck, while the dogs have been living it up in the yard! 🌿 Today, Leo and Las Vegas had their big introduction, and it’s safe to say they’re fast friends now. It took Leo a few minutes to warm up to all that puppy energy, and Las Vegas a moment to settle his excitement, but they’re now playing like they’ve known each other forever! 👏👏

Even with the sweetest dogs, we always take introductions carefully—especially since Las Vegas is a puppy almost as big as Leo! Seeing the two of them happy and playful together just makes my day. And Leo must be feeling extra social because, unlike his earlier playdate with Olive, he’s all in on playtime this afternoon. Love seeing him in his element!

Pit Stop Playdate with Leo & Olive!

Picked up Mr. Leo for a weekend at my place. We stopped at Olive’s house first—I thought, perfect time for a playdate pit stop! These two usually have enough energy to power the block, so I was bracing myself for some serious zoomies.

But nope! They strolled, sniffed, exchanged a few polite nods, and then… nothing. It was like playtime had been mysteriously canceled! I started wondering if the neighborhood dogs had a secret party last night that we missed the invite for!

Even if they weren’t feeling the play vibes, Leo and Olive still enjoyed some quality buddy time before we headed out. Here’s to a (maybe?) restful weekend with Leo!

Friday Walk with Jack and Ringo!

Happy Friday from the dynamic duo, Jack and Ringo! Today’s cool, crisp morning walk had all the makings of a peaceful stroll—at least until Jack decided to put his own spin on things!

All was calm as we headed out, and Jack was thrilled to see his buddy Ringo. Then we crossed paths with Belle, the little cutie from down the road and her mom walking on the other side of the street. Ringo and Belle were the picture of calm, giving each other a quick nod and keeping on. But Jack? Oh, no. Apparently, he was not having it! Out of nowhere, he started barking and pulling like Belle was some kind of ghostly trick-or-treater from last week. Maybe he was having a little post-Halloween hangover? Or did he just mistake her for Fozzie Bear in disguise? Either way, Jack’s reaction brought some unexpected laughs to our morning routine!

After his big moment, Jack settled right back into his usual pace, with Ringo and him trotting along like best friends. Just a little Friday fun, courtesy of Jack's "unique" approach to making friends. 😂

Supporting Dogs with Fear-Based Triggers: Phoenix’s Progress

Today’s walk looked a little different for Phoenix and his sister, Savannah! Between the big, noisy recycling truck, people nearby, and some rooftop work happening in the neighborhood, there was just too much going on for Phoenix to feel comfortable leaving home. Even though he's made incredible progress since his family adopted him, today he faced a few too many triggers all at once. And that’s okay—some days, it’s best to just let our pups take it easy.

So, Phoenix and I hung out in the yard, let him take care of his business, and enjoyed some quiet time. Then Savannah and I set out for her walk alone. Confident and unbothered, Savannah strolled right past all the commotion, but Phoenix needed his calm space today.

It’s important to remember that each dog has their own comfort level, especially when working through anxieties. If there had only been one or two distractions, we could’ve helped Phoenix move forward, working slowly to desensitize him. But with so many different noises and activity at once, we needed to respect his limits.

Sometimes helping a dog grow isn’t about pushing them to “just get over” their fears—it’s about knowing when to slow down and adjust. Phoenix will keep making progress at his pace, and one day, he may not even flinch at these sights and sounds. For now, we’re celebrating every small step forward!

Early Morning Shenanigans!

Our day kicked off with Lily and Pepper zooming around the yard so early it was still pitch dark! No pics since they were off to the races in the moonlight. Once they got their morning zoomies out, it was breakfast time.

Miss Pepper, ever the princess, picked out the “fun” pieces from her breakfast and then dumped the rest on the floor! No worries—Joy and Lily were thrilled to step in as the clean-up crew. 🤣

Meanwhile, Joy and Beefy took care of their morning business, had breakfast, and promptly crawled back into bed with Dad for more snoozing. Foster pup Las Vegas enjoyed his yard play, then breakfast, and is now lounging in his favorite living room spot, supervising all the action (or lack of it, if you ask Joy and Beefy 😆).

Now that the gang’s all set to relax, I'm off to the neighbor’s to walk a couple more adorable fur babies!

Halloween Night with the Best Crew!

Heading out for a Halloween party with some senior friends while my hubby and our fur babies—including our sweet little house guests—are all cozied up at home. They’re already settled in and probably queuing up a Hallmark movie to kick off the night!

Happy Halloween from Our Pack!

Lily and Pepper are here for a little Halloween sleepover! With all the hustle and bustle of costumes, trick-or-treaters, and excitement at their house, their parents thought it’d be better for them to hang out here. They’re loving it already—Pepper and our foster Las Vegas started up a playful back-and-forth through the gate as soon as they arrived! I had to move him two gates away just so the girls could focus on their dinner. Pepper, ever the princess, insisted on eating from her bowl on the bed, right next to me. Meanwhile, Lily… let’s just say she’s all business with her food. Joy and Beefy Seal are waiting for the chance to join in and play with everyone once mealtime is over.

We even have costumes for the pack, but with all the Halloween fun, they'll probably be too busy playing with their friends to wear them!

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Halloween!

A Message to the Critics: Shelters Need Help, Not Judgment 💔🐾

When you see a shelter’s post urgently asking for homes, fosters, or donations, you’re seeing the result of an overwhelming crisis. Across the country, shelters are beyond capacity. They’re bursting at the seams with animals needing care, space, and a chance for a new life. The people who work at these shelters—staff, volunteers, rescuers—are the ones picking up the pieces, day after day.

And yet, despite their tireless dedication, they’re too often met with anger and criticism instead of support. But let’s get one thing clear: they aren’t the problem. They’re not the ones abandoning animals or allowing unchecked breeding. They’re the ones stepping up when others don’t. They’re the ones there for every animal left behind, every dog tied to a fence, every cat found on the street.

The reality is that shelters and rescuers are burning out. Every day they face the unimaginable decisions that no animal lover wants to make, and the weight of this work is heavy. Constant criticism only adds to that weight, and it’s leading more and more of them to leave. When people who once fought so hard start to feel defeated and burned out, there’s one less person on the front lines helping animals.

So please—if it pains you to see animals in need, let that pain inspire you to help. Criticism doesn’t save lives, but compassion and action do. Volunteer, foster, donate, or simply share respectfully. Either help, or say nothing, because judgment doesn’t change the reality. It only makes it harder for those who are fighting to make things better.

L🐾 Second Walk of the Day Vibes 🐾

Guess who’s walking like a pro today? 👏👏 Sonny the golden retriever puppy! On our second walk of the day, and he's been nothing short of amazing—loose leash, polite, and not a single bounce! Maybe that morning playdate burned off some extra energy, or maybe he's just having one of those golden days where everything clicks. Either way, this pup is getting it! 👏🤞

Keep it up, Sonny! You’re making your hooman proud today! 🐕✨

🎉 Playdate Shenanigans with Olive & Sonny! 🎉
These two had an absolute blast this morning! They seem to have a secret favorite spot in the yard—maybe it's the shade or maybe it's just “their” corner, but they keep going back to it. The funniest part? By the end, they were so worn out that they were playing while laying down! Sometimes the best playdates end in total puppy relaxation.

🍂 Fall Walks with Ringo! 🍂
There’s no better way to start the day than with a crisp, refreshing walk in the beautiful fall weather. Ringo and I loved every second of it—the cool air and the leaves just starting to change made it the perfect morning. Fall days like this make outdoor adventures a true delight!

Leo got the best surprise today—our sweet Joy joined us for the pack walk! He lit up when he saw her in the car, and the day only got better. We teamed up with Lily Pepper and Dolly for a nice neighborhood stroll, where we even ran into Ray for a quick play session before resuming our peaceful walk. Nothing like a sunny day, good company, and happy pups!

Tuesday playdate was a big hit! Our usual Three Amigos had some extra company today—Joy came along to work with me, and little Adley joined the fun too. We even got a quick side-yard visit with Jack, and of course, a bit of a bark fest with the pups behind Ringo’s house. Safe to say, everyone’s worn out after all the excitement!

This morning Edgar is being a bit of a lounge lizard. Whether he’s stretched out on the couch or trotting alongside us, Edgar is all about sticking close to his people. Whatever we’re up to, he’s there too, making sure he’s part of the action (or inaction!).

From “supervising” work calls with Radomir to offering moral support on walks, Edgar just wants to be where his humans are. Can’t wait for his big reunion with his parents tonight, but for now, he’s living his best Great Dane life with us!

🌟 Morning strolls with Phoenix and Savannah bring so much joy—though they’re such different walkers! Savannah is all business, nose to the ground, tracking every scent until another dog catches her attention (and then she has to investigate, of course!). Phoenix, on the other hand, keeps his eyes on me, wanting cuddles and staying close, only pausing if a loud truck or some construction noise surprises him. It’s adorable to see how quickly he recovers and carries on.

It’s truly heartwarming walking these two together—such beautiful, unique souls with different perspectives on our adventures. 🐾💕

While I’ve been out visiting with seniors and keeping pups active, Hubby’s been home on business calls—and Edgar, our new house guest, has been his quiet and loyal meeting buddy! Edgar, the gentle giant Great Dane, arrived this morning for a little vacation time with us. He's not interested in hanging out with the other dogs but seems to have found his perfect spot by Hubby’s side, totally focused and content. Nothing like some quality time with his human friend!"

Enjoying a brisk walk with Sonny after lunch! This little guy is growing up fast and turning into quite the big boy—every walk, he’s more confident and curious! It’s amazing to see how much he’s maturing, but he still has those adorable puppy moments that make every step a joy. Keep shining, Sonny!

🐾 A Paw-fect Day for a Walk with Leo! 🐾

What a beautiful day to be out and about! Leo enjoyed a wonderful pack walk with some of his best buddies—Lily, Pepper, Rocco, and Dolly! We even ran into Cocoa for a quick, playful romp along the way! Nothing like meeting familiar faces (both furry and human) to make our walks extra special. 🐶🐾

The sun’s shining, tails are wagging, and this is exactly why we love what we do—helping dogs have the best, happiest experiences outdoors. Here’s to many more days like today! 🌞🐕💛

🐾 Monday Morning Romp with Sonny & Olive 🐾

Monday mornings are made brighter with these two! Sonny, the playful golden retriever puppy, and Olive, the beautiful ridgeback, are loving their playdate together—even if they stick to their favorite little corner of the yard. Watching them romp around, you can’t help but smile!

And how cute is Olive in her Joy bow tie from ? Not only does it look adorable on her, but it perfectly matches her joyful, happy personality. These two are pure happiness in motion! 🐶💕

🌞 Morning Strolls with Ringo 🌞

Starting off this beautiful October morning with Ringo, Erica’s gentle giant. Today, he had bigger plans than our usual Momday route—when we got to the corner, he gave me the look (you know, the one that says, "Let's keep going!"). But we went right this time, and he rolled with it like the easy-going pup he is.

Here’s to cool October walks, sweet pups like Ringo, and making memories one step at a time. 🍂🐾

🍳 Morning Moments with the Pack 🍳

Everyone’s had their breakfast…well, sort of! Vegas decided to take his on a little tour, spreading it all over for extra fun! 😆 Meanwhile, everyone’s been enjoying some quality time together—especially little Pepper and Vegas, who’ve become besties playing “through the gate” all morning. 💛

And it’s a busy morning because we’ve added big, beautiful Edgar to the mix! While Edgar’s choosing a more low-key vacay, away from all the social stuff, he’s still very much part of our cozy chaos today.

Lily’s being my loyal shadow, and Joy and Beefy are doing their thing as usual. It’s mornings like these that make every bit of the wonderful chaos so worth it! 🐾

Today’s adventure with Lily and Pepper was all about sniffing! These two were like little detectives, keeping their noses to the ground the whole time. Every scent was a new clue, and they couldn’t get enough! Except, of course, for Lily’s classic move—a quick little twirl around her human just to keep things fun. She’s known for her playful spins, and today was no exception! Nothing like an afternoon walk to let these pups follow their curiosity and enjoy the fresh air.

🎉 Puppy Power in Action! 🎉

We’ve got some serious tug-of-war going on here! Our foster pup, Las Vegas, might only be 8 months old, but this big guy has brought out an energy in Beefy Seal that we don’t get to see very often. Beefy’s usually the laid-back amigo, but when a big puppy like Las Vegas is around, he’s right there in the action, playing his heart out!

This round of tug-of-war featured The Three Amigos—Beefy, Joy, and Vegas—teamwork at its best… until the toy met its fate and shredded to bits! 😆 Meanwhile, our little house guests, Lily and Pepper, got their playtime in earlier and have now retreated to the front bedroom, steering clear of the rowdy big dog action.

These moments of play are just one of the many things that make fostering so rewarding—bringing out the puppy spirit in everyone! 💖
