Last night was thankfully a little quieter than expected, but even so, sweet baby Iggy was feeling the stress. Hubby took our noise-proof champs, Beefy Seal and Joy, to the back room while I stayed with Iggy to help her settle. Teamwork! This morning she’s back to her happy self—took a stroll with Beefy (though she wishes he'd walk faster!), helped with a little yard work, and is now enjoying the A/C while I head out to visit some of my favorite seniors.

💛 Friendly reminder: even if your dog seems unbothered by fireworks, many aren’t. Scared pups can panic and bolt—don’t leave them unattended in the yard. A dog like Iggy could clear a 6-foot fence if she wanted to, and fear can make even the calmest dogs do the unexpected. Keep them close and safe. 💛

Stars, Stripes & Snuggles 🇺🇸🐾

It’s almost the 4th of July, which means Joy and Beefy Seal have officially swapped out their Daddy's boy and girl bow ties for their patriotic gear from Bowtie Atticus ! Yes, they wear bow ties every day — but of course we had to switch things up for the holiday. And seriously… don’t they look just freaking adorable in them? 😍

We first discovered bowtie Atticus about four and a half years ago thanks to our friend Sara , who gifted us our very first set — one for Joy and one for our foster girl at the time, Lucy Liu. We instantly fell in love with the quality, the cuteness, and the charm. Then we got to know Naomi, the woman behind the bow ties — and we fell in love with her too.

The shop is named after Atticus, a foster dog who ended up right where he belonged — staying forever with Naomi . That’s the heart behind every bow tie she makes: compassion, second chances, and love that sticks.

In this crazy world, it’s such a gift to meet people like Naomi — people who give their time, talents, and whole heart to helping animals and the people who love them. She’s not just crafting bow ties — she’s out there trapping and caring for cats, helping families in need keep their pets, finding rehomes when needed, and donating a portion of her profits each month to a different rescue or shelter.

Every bow tie even has a name and a story — inspired by a real pet and their journey, whether through rescue, rehoming, or simply being found by the right person at the right time. Each one is a beautiful reminder of the lives touched by love, second chances, and the people who care enough to make a difference.

So yes, we’re proud to be supporting a friend. But even more than that, we’re proud to be part of something that celebrates compassion, community, and connection — one bow tie at a time. 💖

Thank you, Naomi, for everything you do — and for making Joy and Beefy look even more charming than they already are!

🎉 Guess who just strutted through the door like she owns the place? That’s right — Iggy’s in the house!! 🐾✨

She arrived a little while ago and is already settling in like a total pro. This sweet girl will be hanging out with us through the holiday, and we couldn’t be happier to have her company. With her perfect posture, soulful eyes, and that adorable face, she’s got everyone swooning already. 😍

Welcome, Iggy — let the tail wags, playtime, and snuggles begin! 💕

Lily and Pepper are taking their sweet time on our afternoon stroll—smart girls, sticking to the shade and soaking in all the sniffs! 🌿☀️ They may be moving slow, but they’re savoring every step and every blade of grass along the way.

We might have Maria and Rocco join us at some point—Rocco's a bit more built for this weather and tends to pick up the pace—but either way, we’re enjoying this peaceful little adventure.

Just a couple of clever pups pacing themselves and making the most of a sunny afternoon. 🐾💚

Time for Darling’s second stroll of the day, and we had one tiny request for Mother Nature—maybe cool it just a smidge? ☀️😅

It’s not as sweltering as last week, but whew… the humidity definitely showed up. Darling and I agreed: this one’s going to be short and sweet. No need to rush when you’ve got paws and a nose to the ground—we’re taking it slow, soaking in the sniffs, and making the most of our little outing. 💕🐾

Sometimes the best walks are the simple ones.

Daisy was all smiles on our morning walk today!
The sun’s warming up, but it hasn’t phased her one bit. With lots of folks out and about, she was in her element—stopping to greet everyone with her tail wagging and heart wide open. 🌞🐾

And of course, no walk would be complete without some of her signature grass rolls—pure joy in motion! Watching her soak in life’s simple pleasures is the best reminder to slow down and smile.

This sweet girl could easily be a therapy dog. She brings joy to every person she meets—and to me, every single walk. 💛

Someone was up and ready for her morning walk—this little sweetheart right here! 💛 Darling doesn’t let much bother her. She happily trots along, soaking in all the sniffs, greeting anyone willing to say hello… and even a few who don’t. Honestly, how could anyone not want to acknowledge this doll baby?

She sits so politely at crosswalks—sure, sometimes that sit doesn’t last quite as long as we’d like, but let’s be real… she’s not even a year old yet! And in her mind, when someone’s walking toward her, it probably feels like it takes them an hour to cross the street.

Such a good girl, full of heart and happiness. Morning walks with her are always a joy. 🐾💕

What started as two quick 15-minute potty breaks for Aspen and Adley turned into a five-dog social club—and we’re always here for that kind of upgrade! Since I was dropping Olive off at her house today, I figured, why not turn it into a little hangout before the heat really kicked in? Aspen hadn’t seen her buddy Olive all week, and neither had Adley—so a quick catch-up was definitely in order. And of course, we invited Ringo and Rocco to join the fun.

This one was more social club than full-on playdate. Landscapers were working on both sides of Olive’s house just as we arrived, which startled sweet Adley. He’s never shown fear around landscaping equipment before—but at home, we’re all electric powered and definitely not doing yard work in stereo!

He stuck close to the humans but still got in some light play, and just as important, that valuable social time. Mental stimulation matters just as much as physical exercise—especially when the temps are already on the rise. Thanks, Mother Nature…

We love when a regular visit turns into a group hang. It's not always about miles walked—sometimes it's about moments shared. 🐾💛

The Three Amigos weren’t looking to spend much time outside today. They ran out, handled their business, and turned right back around to come inside—Olive choosing the scenic (read: acrobatic) route. 😄

In a surprise burst of energy, she leapt right over Joy, Beefy Seal, and part of the tunnel all in one go! I had just pulled out my phone, casually walking around to see what kind of pictures I could get. I wasn’t expecting any Olympic-level stunts, but Olive had other plans. 🐶💨

The shots I got aren’t exactly action-movie quality, but if you know what’s happening, you can totally see it. Honestly, I knew Ridgebacks were athletic—but holy cow, Olive! That was next-level impressive.

Now we’re all back inside, settled down for the evening. Olive’s currently in full-on foot-licking mode—yes, mine. And even though it tickles like crazy, I let her do it for a little while because she was clearly enjoying herself. 🐾😂

Here’s to a calm, storm-free evening ahead for Olive. She’s earned it after that leap!

Most of today’s dog walks were all clouds and even a little rain—but not for Daisy! 🌧️➡️☀️

As the last pup on the mid-day lineup, she lucked out big time when the sun finally peeked through the clouds. And Daisy didn’t waste a second of it—she pranced, sniffed, and threw in a joyful drop-and-roll for good measure. 🐾💃

We love when our fur friends get those little unexpected bursts of joy in their day. Daisy’s sunny stroll was a reminder that good things really do come to those who wait! 💛

Darling cracks me up with her little decisions.
Right near her house is a tiny offshoot called Saunders Court—just three houses in a little loop. Some days she walks straight across without a second thought… but other days, like today, she insists on taking the full loop before we continue on with our walk. 🐾🌳

Today she was completely absorbed in sniffing around Saunders Court—so much so that she almost didn’t notice a mom, her kids, and their dog walking past on the main road. She gave them a quick glance, then went right back to following her nose like the little scent detective she is. 🐶👃

Every walk with Darling is its own little adventure, full of quiet moments and sweet choices—and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Whew—today's neighborhood was an absolute cacophony!
There was a full-blown tree removal crew out—chainsaws buzzing, huge limbs crashing down, and then the roar of the industrial chipper parked at the curb, grinding everything to mulch. Add in the background hum of highway traffic, helicopters overhead, and a few landscaping crews doing their thing, and you’ve got one seriously noisy environment.

Sweet Princess Aspen was not having it. We started out on our usual walk, but only made it about a block before the overwhelm kicked in. She pancaked on the sidewalk, clearly asking to go home—and we listened.

Instead of pushing her comfort zone, we turned the outing into a backyard playdate with her buddy Adley. Aspen explored quietly, found a little bushy nook to run and sniff, and got her wiggles out on her own terms. 💛

Adley, of course, was completely unfazed. That boy couldn’t care less about the noise—he was just happy to be included in whatever we were doing!

Every dog is different.
Some are sound-sensitive, others are bulletproof, and most fall somewhere in between. That’s why we stay flexible, read the dogs, and follow their lead. Whether it’s a full walk or a quiet yard adventure, the goal remains the same: a potty break, a little energy release, and a whole lot of smiles. 🐾
