The perfect senior dog combo is Ortho-Flex and Golden Years! We just ordered another set because it seems to be helping all of our dogs, but especially Pixie! She’s been struggling to get up the stairs so I have her on a good joint supplement along with these supplements, and she seems to be doing better. Buttercup also gets both supplements and Hops gets the ortho-flex because all three dogs have patella problems aka ✨just chihuahua things ✨.

It seems wild to me that Ruthie has been gone for 4 years. Her legacy lives on and I think about her every day, especially when Pixie yells for dinner, because they have similar appetites and love eating. Ruthie was the dog that made me fall in love with senior dogs. She was found in Abilene as a stray, in terrible shape. She was a hospice adoption and was only expected to live 6 months but anyone who met her can attest that she was full of life and her rage kept her going…she just refused to die. She had scarred lungs from chronic bronchitis, no teeth but refused to let her tongue hang out because she was a proper southern lady, she went into heart failure and backed herself out of it, and didn’t let her lack of teeth keep her from enjoying all life had to offer, especially chews. She loved a good turkey wing 😂. Her life wasn’t good before we got her, but we spent the next 3 years making every day her best day, and she lived like a queen in her retirement years. She was weird, quirky, angry, and expensive, but I wouldn’t change a thing and I wish she was still here. We love you, Roofer 🩷

Holiday break is over and Buttercup is back to work! Her first therapy dog visit of 2025 was at , her usual spot on the first and third Saturday of every month and one of her favorites! She loves going to see the kids, the great rug (perfect for splooting) and getting treats.

Despite being her favorite place, and being a trained therapy dog, I still have to advocate for her because while SHE is trained, a) she is still a dog and b) humans usually aren’t, and we had that experience today. A grown man came in and used pretty threatening body language (he wasn’t threatening her but it was a weird move on his part): he kind of crouched over her and had his arms out wide like an eagle? It was weirdly aggressive and she was terrified, but I was able to lure her back in and get her back on track with a treat. I don’t really understand why he did it but I’m always stunned by how many people don’t respect a dog’s space or just don’t think before approaching one. Like, imagine being 9ish pounds, a few inches off the ground, and this random man, easily 20 times your size, just closes in on you? Why? Either way, it was a good reminder for me to always be watching and still a good experience for Buttercup because she was able to disengage from the weird situation quickly. Things like this are why she likes the kids better than adults 😂 but she still loves her job and was getting belly rubs for the last 20 min or so!

We have no idea what day it is but we’re doing nature stuff! Buttercup and Hops LOVE going on hikes and walks and they have pretty significant prey drive so they get all hopped up smelling squirrels then pass out after. I’m pretty sure there was once a little critter on this felled tree because BC just hopped up on it.

Dog mom note…BC has two collars on: a .dogs collar and a .pet collar! We’re trying out the Maven collar because it monitors respiratory rates and she has degenerative valve disease plus a heart murmur. Neither collar is an e collar! We don’t do that over here 🩷

All Buttercup wants for Christmas is MORE TREATS! And to eat all those tiny candy canes off the tree🎄

My dogs eat a very healthy diet but they love and I love that they have no rawhide. Don’t get me wrong, they’re an indulgence for the dogs, but we all should get an indulgence here and there and they love them!

The DreamBone Holiday Shapes bag contains an assortment of Christmas tree, snowman and gingerbread cookie shapes. Made with real vegetables and chicken, these rawhide-free chews are easy to digest, vitamin and mineral enriched and a healthy alternative to rawhide.

When we were in Michigan, my main priority was getting my basic 🍑 to an apple orchard because I love a cider donut (and apples) so we made a trip to , who recently acquired so it tickled me to be offered Austin East Ciders. I didn’t get any, opting for the caramel apple hard cider (this was pre-gallbladder removal), which was so good! Very sweet, but I’m the human equivalent of a chonky hummingbird so I was into it. If you have a more sophisticated palate, you might be offended, but I was delighted. They were kind enough to let us bring the dogs inside (it was a very slow monday) with us to eat, which was amazing since it was chilly and these are Texas chihuahuas, not accustomed to the chill in the air. Blake’s is definitely a fun stop if you’re ever in the area!

A gift I’d love to receive this year is the smell of clean toofers! has new dental chews out and the bag is MASSIVE! I break the chews in half so this bag will last awhile for my dogs. You can use our code DUMPTRUCKS24 to try them out! Buttercup and Hops love them and Pixie wishes she had more teeth to try them out 😂

In honor of thanksgiving, here’s an iconic photo of the OG senior of the Dumptruck house, Ruthie, who never met a food she didn’t love. Here she is, trying to eat a whole roll with no teeth (and I’m pretty sure she succeeded). She was the best and worst dog we’ve ever had: super selfish, spiteful, and yet, a feminist icon and a fierce ambassador for self care. We miss her every day 🩷

If you’re wondering how big the new bulk size of The Daily from is, here’s a size comparison: Pixie fits in the box 😂.

The Daily is the most used supplement from that we use, besides the allergy chews! The dogs love it in their food and I use it to entice picky boarders to eat as well. You can use the code DUMPTRUCKPUPS to save 20% on your first order!

Just a quick drop in to let everyone know that we’re alive and good, but dog mom is recovering from a very unplanned and unexpected gallbladder removal surgery. I thought I had really bad food poisoning at a wedding the night before we were supposed to leave Michigan, and went to the closest ER. After an ultrasound and CT, I found out it wasn’t food poisoning and instead was pancreatitis (very painful) and what ended up being a necrotic gallbladder. After 8 days in the hospital and 1.5 weeks of recovery and restrictions, I’m feeling a lot better, and the dogs have been excellent little nurses. Buttercup even had the courage to lose .2 pounds so that she was under my 10 pound lifting limit, so kudos to her on that one. I’m slowly getting more active and my laparoscopic incisions are healing nicely, so we hope to be a little more present going forward!

I left the therapy dog bag on the floor and Buttercup’s treats were in there. How do I know the artist was Buttercup? Buttercup is a sneaky thief and she bites under the zip thing. Hops is nuts and he busts into a bag from the center like a monster. Pixie was in her crate so she’s innocent. In any case, Buttercup regrets nothing and she will absolutely do it again if the opportunity presents itself.

You have 3 seconds to give her a treat before she loses it…she doesn’t work for free!!!

She does give out kisses for free though, as long as you just ate breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and left some on your face 😋

We’re a little behind over here because Pixie has a skin infection and now I’m busy giving her baths and medicating mousse on her undercarriage 😂. We went in for her annual vet appointment and while she’s always had a little hyperpigmentation inside her back legs, that spread and ended up being a skin infection. She’s so fuzzy that I didn’t really know although she was definitely scratching more and it was something I was going to bring up at her appointment. She also has two tiny mammary cysts that we have to keep an eye on, most likely because she was spayed as a senior. Anyway, she’s on an antibiotic, an oral antifungal, a Chinese herb for the cysts, plus 2-3 medicated baths a week and the medicated mousse on non bath days. Here’s a cute picture of our wet little fur goblin pretending that she isn’t miserable in the bath 😂 and hopefully she’s looking and feeling better in a couple weeks!

It is Festivus, and as is tradition, Pixie’s grievances are: -dinner is always late -dinner is only once a day -there’s never enough dinner -clothing -food that can’t be eaten with only one tooth -the doorbell -not getting attention immediately -not getting enough attention -a dry tongue -stairs -blankie sharks -wearing a bell on her collar (she makes no noise when she walks so she has to wear a bell. If she doesn’t wear a bell, she likes to go adventuring in the house and is very mischievous) What are your grievances this year? #festivus #airingofgrievances #merrychristmas #dogsofinstagram #dogsofaustin #weeklyfluff #weratedogs #dogblessjerrystiller #seinfeld #festivusfortherestofus #happyfestivus #chihuahua #chihuahualife #seniordog #adoptaseniordog

Pixie likes to give it her all to get off the couch stairs but she overshot and got stuck between the couch and the ottoman 😂. Have you ever seen a dog happier to be stuck than Pixie? Her temperament surprises me daily. She’s the happiest little former shelter pup on the planet! #ohno #weratedogs #stuck #help #adoptaseniordog #adoptashelterpet #chihuahua #chihuahuasofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #weeklyfluff #cutedog #tinydog #seniordog #fuzzy #dogsofaustin

Being on a road trip is hard, so we brought our Halloween toys from @woofandwhiskerspet (exclusively at @heb and developed in San Antonio) up to Michigan with us! We knew the pups would need an outlet to get out energy after our long car ride so we busted out the new toys and they had a blast. Head on over to H-E-B and grab yours before Halloween! #woofandwhiskerspet #exclusivelyatheb #ad #dogsofaustin #dogsoftexas #chihuahuas #playtime #halloween #trickortreat #cuties #dogsofinstagram #dog #tinydog #smol #weeklyfluff #chihuahuamix #play

There’s nothing like watching your little therapy dog help kiddos feel better about reading. Buttercup mostly goes to elementary schools to help the English as a second language kids get more practice with reading, and the kids love her. She’s patient when the kids need it and she’s so good at figuring out who needs a softer approach. If they’re nervous about dogs and need space, she keeps her distance until they’re ready to pet her. I’m not saying she’s the perfect dog (although she’d disagree) but she’s My best girl and I’m so proud of how hard she works each week 🩷. #therapydog @divinecaninestexas #reading #readingtime #therapydogs #goodgirl #workingdog #englishasasecondlanguage #austinisd @austinisd @ciscentraltx #supportyourlocallibrary @austinpubliclibrary #library #readingisfun #dogsofaustin #weratedogs #weeklyfluff #dogsofinstagram #rescuedog #chiweenie #chihuahuamix #gooddog #chihuahua
