'Scuse me Dougie, it's hard to see the TV this way.......

*Message me if you you'd like to enjoy relaxing evenings in front of your favorite TV show or just need to be kept warm with winter on its way. Double chin not required but resembled.

Sometimes, when I have nearly my entire body in a dog crate cleaning it, I wonder if one of the dogs is standing behind me wanting to push me in and latch the door?

Then I look at the dog behind me......

🤍 Just a post to say, I Appreciate Y'all 🤍

I want to thank everyone who has ever purchased anything from our wishlist, donated towels, blankets, sheets, crates, dog beds, food, treats, toys, money, time volunteering, fostering, sharing posts, coming out to fundraisers and giving moral support!

I couldn't have done this much without all of you who have helped. And I'm hoping to have everyone's support in the future.

So --

THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE SO APPRECIATED!!

You all are the (see photo). 😂😂😂

We Need Help! Remember this baby from a month ago?! Her name is officially Ruby! And Ruby is the sweetest girl.

It's puppy watch time for this sweet baby girl that had been living on her own for at least 5 months.

After finally being caught it was clear that she was pregnant. We are barely equipped to take in another dog, much less one who was going to become more dogs.

Everyone who knows me, knows I don't do puppies. They are a lot of work and my hands have always been full already. So, this will be a new challenge for me, but I'm dedicated to this girl and getting her through it.

With that being said, we need some things to make this go as smoothly as possible. I've contacted a rescue friend down south for pointers on how to deliver puppies and what to watch for, before, during and after they are born. She's available 24/7 for my questions.

We also need to get in to the vet for an xray this weekend/Monday to see how many pups are expected to come out and to make sure she can do this without assistance.

If you're able to make a donation towards her pre-pup care, I really really need my village to help with this.

Headed home from going to see Uncle Joey at Smart Paws Obedience so this guy will be ready to find his new forever home soon.

He's the best car rider...... except when he wanted up front and I told him to get back and he slapped me in the back of the head a couple of times.

His face in this picture says I'm lyin'! Not this sweet boy!?

Happy national dog day to alllllll the dogs. My wish is one day they all have a safe place to lay, food in their belly and a family who will never give up on them.

Until then, I'll provide those things for as many as I am able with all of your help!

Comment a photo of your dogs!

If I do it we'll be here all night. 🤣🤣🤣
