Enjoying their pre-spring day 🫶❤️

Happy St. Patricks Day from our home to yours! Creed and his crew and having a lazy Sunday.

Thank you for the donations and of food and treats, that are needed and appreciated! 🫶

Thank you to the person that sent another bag of food! Creed and Honey have enough hard food for another week! There was no name on the paper. We appreciate it! As you can see, he loves food and comes running for it. One of his knees has been a little sore so I have been having to limit the time the others are outside with him so they don’t rough house and make it worse, but he’s starting to put weight on it again so soon they can go back to playing around!

Honeybee showing that she is Cat Friendly 🫶❤️😍!!

Prairie Austin is my three legged tuxedo that I rescued while working during COVID, May 2020. She was rolling around in the middle Prairie St/Austin St in Downtown Houston. Only one week old, eyes/ears still closed, one mangled rear leg (we are guessing a bird of prey grabbed and dropped her). She didn’t get run over and was supposed to be rehomed after the bottle feeding stage. Hubs got attached, and she grew up in our pack of German Shepherds to believe she was the head German Shepherd. Prairie introduces herself with growls and hisses, clawless slaps- Creed ain’t having it so they have never been able to interact but Honeybee is bound and determined to win her over!
** ignore SWAT playing on the TV, moving to mute the TV would have caught Honey’s attention. Also ignore the stuffing on the floor that has since been picked up, Atlas and Honey believe they work for the morgue like the hubs and like to remove the insides of their toys 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just in case you’re wondering what happens when you have a full tummy and a comfy cloud… you sleep like a dead cockroach 😂 …that is until mom sneaks over to take a picture and you open your eye because even though mom is a super ninja, you know when she’s close.

Mighty little Macie is ready for adoption y’all!!!

07/03/2024

Creed, oh Creed. I’ve never met a better snuggler in my life (with the exception of Prairie!) Almost 9 months together and you still surprise me with your amazing personality.

Thank you for the pack of can food (Creed/Honey gets to free eat and I use can food for dinner to give Creed his supplements!) Also, the treats are always a hit- Creed LOVES treats and Honey does too. Honey still will not take from my hand, and that’s okay, but as soon as I lay them down- they disappear! I want to say thank you because Hubs and I are still paying down medical bills from our own babies passing (3/2 made 1yr since I lost my 16yr pup.) and sometimes we are down to what we have on hand and $10 in the bank- so everything you all send goes so far for us, no matter how big or small! The babies are our number one priority, always!

Honeybee has blossomed tons just in the last month and it’s all thanks to “little” Atlas here. He’s growing like a w**d and so is her personality. She sleeps in her crate less and less, she always has a choice and now she exercises that. She has such a fun personality and is remarkably good with everyone! She will make a great family member to a family with pets!

We recently received a bag of food and that will get her and Creed through another week and a half, thank you for that and the treats!

I’ve posted her wish list below in case anyone is able to send more food, treats, or chew toys (she’s a heavy chewer!)

Oh Creed and Honeybee 😍🥰❤️
*sound up to hear him talking to her!*

Also, anyone that would like to donate, Creed and Honey have about a week and a half of food left, dry and wet! He has about a week left of his Dasaquin (he’s currently good on Wellactin) She’s a chewer and could def use some treats to chew on! Thank you all of the support! I’m so glad these two get along so well and have the best time!

This Honeybee is still with us till the end of April when she transports! She has blossomed, thanks to Atlas, for sure! We now know she is cat friendly too (Creed and Prairie are not friends and that’s why Prairie has a barrier- Prairie introduces herself with hisses and slaps and Creed with grumbly growls and protest, so they just can’t seem to get on the same page.)

Honeybee comes when called, knows the “house” command (which means get in your crate), and understands “No”… She loves everything she comes in contact with so far; other dogs, puppies, cats, people… (she is highly interested in the chickens but I can’t gauge the kind of interest it is.)

She’s a lazy eater/drinker and prefers to lay down while doing both. She gets full on zoomies when both Baylee AND Atlas play with her, she’s about wiggles her entire body off the floor. She now enjoys laying out on the clouds or floor with the other babies to relax. The swimming pool is her favorite place to be, and she likes to submerge her entire body like an alligator with just her head above the water. She prances and dances and stretches like a cat. She has a thing for toes and loves to lick them, unless they’re covered by a blanket then she likes to soft mouth them. She’s a character for sure!

Yall look at our Mighty Macie 😍

22/02/2024

Just a reminder… Creed is a cuddle bug and a momma’s boy. He likes to remind me that while Atlas may be “a baby” that Creed is “THE baby”.

Thank you for the food donations for Creed and Honey! We received a bag today but the box was tore and there was no slip in it! The food is appreciated, they both love to eat!

Help him they said, he’s aggressive they said…an aggressive, space invading, CUDDLE BUG!

Creed and Honey have really hit it off! The cooler weather today had Creed full of life and frisky, couldn’t slow him down no matter how hard I tried. They ran from the front to the back of the yard, played with sticks, wiggled and danced with me… then we finished the day with being lazy.

We could really use some dog food, dasuquin and welactin (for Creed) if anyone would like to order from the wishlist I have put them both below.

I cannot explain how much consistency, with positive affirmation/confidence building during slow, safe introductions makes a difference.

Creed has finally fully introduced and allowed himself to be fully introduced with Atlas. He has been avoiding, growly, corrective and over the last few weeks I’ve just taken the time (and shown patience, which puppies do NOT have by the way) and allowed the introduction to progress naturally and supervised. I am such a proud dog mom right now, I’m glowing.

Please remember, if you take a foster or adopt a dog- it takes time! Time for them to decompress, then more time to gain trust, then a little more time to get understanding of expectations. It will happen! There may even be some regression during the progression- just go back to the basics, it will come back around faster. Honey went from no touching please to playing with everyone, coming when called, trying to snuggle, asking for attention. BUT it took me to say ok, crate rest, patience, slow introductions, positive enforcement… and here we are. She even regressed a few weeks ago, had to recapture her in my own backyard after an hour of trying- back to the basics and took way less time.

Things that make your heart full and you didn’t know they would… Honeybee choosing to lay outside of the crate. She comes out to play and to get attention but she never relaxes outside of any of the three crates. Last night she did for the first time, and then again tonight. She’s really warming up to the foster siblings and me. (She’s even snuck and licked the hubs toes) Of course, I had to throw one in of our Creed. I sit on the “cloud” on the floor with the pups and he gets to chill on the couch with Dad, buuuutttt he scoots as close to Mom as he can to snuggle.

12/02/2024

What an evening in my house looks like (the cat is on her cat tree). Also the reason unless I have a separate space, I can never truly foster. I love it, but it can be a lot at times too. Please check out Creed and Honey’s wish list- soon we will be having to spend another $150 on Creed’s supplements (monthly cost), everything helps.

Adding a Kong to Creed’s wishlist, that way Atlas can have his treat ball back.

Sound Up! Safe to say our guy is comfy!

08/02/2024

I caved and let my little guy get some yard time yesterday. I was planning to wait until he was fully vaccinated (and highly suggest this, especially if you don’t know what has been in your yard) buttttt here we are. He loves to try and take off in a full sprint after everyone, which Mom isn’t built for since I don’t have 4legs. He was so curious and incredibly happy. Baylee is such a good big sister and wrangled him up. He insist that he is going to convince Creed to love him and Creed is protesting with grumbles, so Baylee steers him clear when he takes off running for Creed.

04/02/2024

It’s not about the life they lived, it’s about the life we give 🥰 Creed has fully embraced this weekend; full of life, smiles, wiggles, naps with snuggles and asking for belly rubs please 😍🥰🫶 Look at that perfect smile and wink!

Without all of the help we have received from everyone, including Rescue Texas, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy this! The first vet he ever seen, immediately, suggested euthanasia. Several times on this journey, the vet has talked about quality of life/end of life, but he has bounced back and with the support and guidance of the Rescue and partners- we are making sure he is living his best life, not one full of pain. We will keep this route until we can’t anymore.

Honeybee is going to be the best companion; she’s dog, puppy and cat friendly! She is the sweetest thing once she realizes she’s safe. I don’t think she knew good human touch until now. I am so excited to see what the future holds for her and whomever adopts her will be the luckiest family.

02/02/2024

Everyone look at this precious soul I had the pleasure of meeting and helping today. She just wants to give all the tail wags and kisses she can. She needs ALOT of help and the local rescue has decided to help her even with them being at capacity, but how do you tell that face “I’m sorry you’ll have to starve to death bc you were failed!”. Please follow her progress and send her all the same amazing vibes y’all sent Creed, bc this sweet girl needs them. I honestly think she is more emaciated than even Creed was at just over 17lbs.

Macie Pearl 💔

Sweet Macie Pearl wants nothing but love from humans even though she has been starved by humans.
She is 17.8lbs and should be closer to 35.

She is on a prescription can food that’s costing us $87 per case.

We will be checking back in with Dr.Hall on Monday morning.

For now we have a few things we need to keep her comfortable.

If you can please donate to help this sweet baby.

Creed and Honeybee met face to face with no barrier today. I started this process about two weeks ago, I let Honey out to mingle while Creed was on crate rest. After the first or second time, she decided to”I’m gonna be friends with you” same as Baylee when she met him for the first time. Honey would pounce around his crate and talk to him and jump… he didn’t feel good though so he would just look and then lay down. Then I moved their crates side by side with a little space, they would be hanging out in crates together all day, walk by eachother, etc… Well, today Creed was so happy and bouncy I though, today is the day. Let’s just say, they’re fast friends.

Look how amazing our guy feels! I’m 100% sure the supplements and crate rest made all the difference. 🥰
