☀️ Meri Update ☀️ We cant even begin to think about how many hours @dynamitedogtraining has dedicated to Meri since she has been receiving one on one and group training but they are slowly helping her come out of her shell 💛
I have watched this video more times than I almost care to admit and it brings a tear to my eye every time.
Meri is the last of our hoarding dogs that have been in @drsfdoxies care for coming up on two years. I’m so many ways emotional wounds can be harder to fix than physical ones and I am so grateful to DRSF and everyone at Dynamite who has given their time, love and patience to Meri to help her learn to find some joy in life and learn how to be a dog 🐶🐾🐶

🦋 Meet Meri 🦋We have welcomed another hoarding survivor, and this afternoon, Meri came to be with us and use the spot opened after Beryl was adopted.
Meri has been fostered and loved on by A, J and the Weenies (another of our amazing Boutique foster homes💛) and had been struggling in all the same ways that Bobbi has. We got the thought to reunite them, and see if they could be any help and support to each other (or conversely, if this was the worst idea ever which is also a possibility..)
Meri lost her mind when we got home, racing round the house, panting, and jumping on anything and everything trying to find a way out (she was so scared she left a trail of poo and pee everywhere she went including in between weaving on my patio furniture, but that is just a good excuse to give everything a wipe down)
She took up residence under my beside table, and I managed to get a bed and blanket under there for her and let her be. I returned from dinner and she is still in the same place, with big, sad, worried eyes.
I have no idea if she and Bobbi even know each other are there (and that Bobbi is an arms length away under the bed) but it hasn’t even been a day yet, so I am gonna fill my jets and remember we are in this to run a marathon, not a sprint.
Thanks to everyone for the good vibes for Bobbi and now Meri and I have fingers and paws crossed we can help her make some progress 🦋
Multitasking.....
Ethel’s broken snout and jaw make it difficult for her to eat. Up until recently that has not slowed her down AT ALL but in the last little while, she has gone through a picky phase that has included trying bone broth in honest-kitchen food, yougurt, and various other things that have not worked.
Our latest jam seems to be working and all it takes is for me to feed her on the couch by scooping the food into tiny piles that she can get into her mouth.
This is process is made even more enjoyable by a glass of wine and podcast...tonight is a rose and The French Kiss Life podcast 🍷
⛈⛈ After nearly a week of waiting, watching, gas rationing, and storm tracking, Ethel is quite simply, over all of it. ⛈⛈
And 2 more makes 8..... As we shared, yesterday was a stressful day for Dachshund Rescue South Florida having to relocate and transport 16 dogs. I am pretty damn full with 6 dogs but more dogs needed space so we welcomed two more for the storm and PJ with our Doxi Taxi team delivered beautiful Bo and Luke, 14 year old bonded seniors, right to my door.
These two are beyond adorable and will make some lucky family VERY happy. They both came with meds (Luke getting a skin condition under control and Bo with heart meds) but you would never know they are 14! 💙💙💙
We hear from so many “we wish we were closer to you to be able to help”. We can GUARANTEE there is a need wherever you are. We promise there is a group who could take a breath for a minute if you opened your home to foster. What can you do to help where you are?
