Rearranging things so they can be in the spare room and thought we'd go live for a bit while I keep moving the furniture around!

I had to get a new water bowl and Honey is a little unsure about it but she’s willing to be brave

For those who want to know how the story ended.

(there’s a pattern emerging — that’s Agate always on the outside with his ears flipped up)

Yes everyone is fine about there being adorable new puppies in the house, why do you ask?

Adding one last live because they knocked the camera over last time!
And in the end Lia did steal a treat 😏

This is the exact moment Noel went from a dog who runs in the kitchen for a treat, to a dog who knows I’ll close that gate behind her if she does.

“Oh, I can have a treat? How about you just pass it to me here then?”

It’s like two toddlers playing chess — neither of us know what the rules are and we both think we’re winning.

(also shoutout to Jesse and Brutus, the old-timers who know that the young ones have to just learn for themselves)

You all might need to sit down because there’s a lot of cuteness incoming!

Meet the gemstone litter! These 6.5 week old babies are yorkie/chi mix on their mother’s side and a mystery dog on dad’s (we just know he’s not big either). Small on size, big on personality!

They arrived late last night and are still getting settled, so many more photos and videos to come!

Thank you Emily for reminding me today that Leah Units of Dog Measurement have been a thing for almost 20 years (and, as a fellow researcher, letting this metric slide on both validity and reliability).

Here’s our favorite vet tech student with her first rescue dog.

We’re gonna post this as if Eve is part of the Siberian special forces and not the delicate southerner she really is…

You either are the friend at the Super Bowl party who keeps kicking the food bucket until someone lets you stick your head in there even though the bowl is already full, or you’re the friend who’s driving her home. I salute you both.

Just Bear being absolutely casual somewhere he’s not supposed to be 🙄

The police came to temporarily block our street and she spent the whole time screaming out the window to them that I’m not sharing my french fries.

When you’re going through the family photo albums and realize your parents used to be cool AF before you came along.

According to family legend, in high school my dad would eat his own lunch and then go hang out by the big trash can and “oh, are you not gonna eat that…?” himself into a whole second or third lunch by grabbing unopened food off people’s trays.* That approach to life is Eve’s whole vibe.

*to this day he will do this at restaurants to things like French fries on someone else’s plate even if that someone was, in fact, going to eat that

Oh hallo!!

Meet my new friend Holly, so named because I found her eating trash this morning on Holland Rd.

She’s a super sweet girl who’s in sort of rough shape. It’s possible she was well cared for but has been on the run for a while, but I was able to call her to me, grab her collar, and put her in the car with no issues so probably not. She has a collar but no tag or chip, and we’ve gotten no response to multiple posts on local groups.

She’s an easygoing, gentle girl who had no problems with me handling her to put a harness on and hasn’t shown any resource guarding of her food or this big ol’ beef bone she’s been gnawing on for the past 2 hours.

Even though I already love this gentle blockhead to death, unfortunately we don’t have space for her to stay longterm. Later today she’ll go to another rescuer for short term foster while we coordinate with a local rescue on longer term placement. Lucky girl is likely on her way to a whole new life!
