If you’re having the Sunday scaries, just remember that Pixie never has them because every day is the best day she’s ever had, even if she’s wearing boots 👀. She hopes to be an inspiration to you all! Happy Sunday!

What are y’all doing to beat this heat 🥵

We’re changing walking routines, and adding more enrichment! The dogs current obsession is pupsicles (you can use code DUMPTRUCKS10 for a discount), and I use the reusable trays to make my own recipes that are lower in calories. The recipe I’m using here is canned chicken recipe, water, and a few scoops of The Daily for a little extra nutrition.

Buttercup and Pixie LOVE their daily pupsicle time. Hops will indulge if I smear peanut butter on top 😂. Stay cool yall! It might be starting to get cooler in other places but not in Texas!

The most handsome and brave boy in the world graduated from his class at ! I covered my face with a cheeseburger because cheeseburgers did a lot of the heavy lifting here. Is Hops still fearful? Yes. But is he a lot more brave? Also yes. He learned a ton of ways to make the world a less scary place and I couldn’t be more proud. Baby steps is the way to go for Hops, and patience + training + big rewards is paying off for him. Happy graduation day Hoppies 🎓

Guess who’s been with us for almost a year? PIXIE! We got her fur super plush and soft by feeding her the best diet I could think of: frozen raw. She has a ton of energy for a senior, her eyes look great, and her bloodwork is 💯. She gets one mini patty per day (that stack of 3 is fake news, Pixie says) along with supplements. The thawed patty is perfect for her lack of teeth and spreading it on a lickimat or stuffing it into a toppl helps keep her brain working.

We got our patties at , where you can also find their treats, goat milk, goat whip, bone broth, and bark boost! We’ve tried it all and loved it all. is minimally processed, low carb, and most importantly: my dogs are healthier for eating it.

P.S. the 3 pound bag is almost as big as Pixie, who weighs in around 3.5 pounds.

More evidence of Mercury being in the microwave: now charges 10 cents for a pup cup with a purchase. Buttercup requests a roll of dimes for future gifts. (Don’t worry, luckily I had a dime after paying in the app. She still got her pup cup).

Very demure, very mindful

Definitely wouldn’t scream for green beans. Never.

Our secret weapon for training and posed pics is always TREATS! Training is an ongoing thing at the Dumptruck house. We use a variety of high value treats because we have picky eaters, and using a complete recipe like air dried chicken means we aren’t throwing their diet off too much. Treats should account for no more than 10% of your dog’s diet, but we use high value, balanced recipes to keep the dogs as healthy and balanced as possible. Instead of “say cheese” we’re all like “say CHICKEN” and everyone is happy.

Use our code DUMPTRUCKS at ’s website for 20% off your order all the time BUT they’re having a 25% off sale for first time customers (use code FIRST25 ) on the website right now which is the best deal 🩷.

This is the face of a sleepy little boy who got up at 4am to go to HIS FOREVER HOME 🥹. We had a truly disappointing Monday after his adopter backed out because his condition (aka his occasional spinning from hydrocephalus) was too upsetting for her in person. In a way, I don’t blame her, and the last thing we want is for him to go to a home that isn’t completely ready to embrace him as he is. I’m sure that was a hard decision for her to make and it ended up being for the best.

On Sunday, we received an email from someone who saw Winston on petfinder, and we had to tell her that he was pending, but after his first adopter bailed, we went through the vetting process and she was absolutely perfect. You can scroll to the last pic to see him with his new mama, although I blocked her face out for privacy.

It’s been a wild 8 months. I picked Winston up on December 1st, and while my house hasn’t been clean since he arrived, and I’ve done more laundry than I thought possible, we put our whole selves into helping this little dude feel better. I’ve never been so tired and I am SUPER pumped to deep clean and organize, but the work was worth it and I will continue to watch him and love him from here. He’s in the best possible home and his new mama is so happy to have him. That’s what he’s deserved this whole time. So many thanks to for helping us find supplements to make him feel as good as he feels now, to all the people who donated items to him off his wish list, and major props to for being an incredible organization to volunteer for.

In case you’re wondering, the title of Buttercup’s memoir is “I never asked for a sister” which is an improvement over her previous choice “the audacity of this bitch”

It’s been one week with Pixie the Goblin Princess™️ and she’s adjusting super well! We’ve never had such an easy transition before and she’s made herself right at home. She’s *almost* playing and is super spunky at mealtime, as eating is her favorite thing. She enjoys sunning herself on the chaise lounge and soft beds, wild weenies, steamed broccoli, running up the steps, jerky sticks, and taking amazing naps. She also loves going on sniffaris and she fits perfectly into Rosie’s old clothes. I guess we’ll keep her 🥹🩷

Pixie is a jet setter and already my baby 🩷 welcome to the dumptruck life, Pixie girl! And thanks to for being the most impeccable chi foster mama to exist on this planet 🌎

20/08/2023

My tiny Rosie was the perfect little dog and now she’s a work of art 🖼️

Thank you to for this amazing gift and to for the talent 🩷 it’s hard to lose one of your heart dogs but the support we’ve gotten along the way has helped so much.

On saturdays, we meet our adoring fans 💁🏼‍♀️

Buttercup goes to work on the first and third Saturday of every month with her friend .thedood at while the kids read. Despite her resting chi face, she’s having a good time! I swear 😂

This event is open to the public, so if you have a kiddo who wants to practice their reading while petting some dogs, this is a great way to do it!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Hops because he reminds me of a stunning muppet. Idk how one dog can be so handsome but he manages it so well 🥹

09/08/2023

Happy international cat day to our friend ! Buttercup likes Calvin except when he’s at her house and on top of cupboards where she can’t reach him 😂. Calvin…tolerates Buttercup but enjoys her snacks. Hops is scared sh*tless of him which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who knows him 😅. Happy cat day, buddy! Sorry your mom didn’t feed you today 😂

Patio Princess™️ for life 💁🏼‍♀️

Mr. Dumptruck finally had a weekend off after working nearly a month straight so we hauled him down to for ! The frito burrito is pretty great and the patio was in some nice shade at 11:30am. Would definitely recommend even though Mr. & Mrs. Dumptruck are far beyond their Rainey Street era 😅

The world might see an ankle biter (btw, she’s never bitten an ankle), but I see the most perfect chihuahua mix to exist on this planet. Maybe I’m irritated from this heat, but I find it incredibly annoying that my well trained, canine good citizen, certified therapy dog, RESCUE, is more well behaved than most purebred dogs yet is harshly judged by most people who meet her. She can literally be sitting quietly and someone will walk up to us and ask us if she’s going to bite them. This just happened to us last month while we were in line for dinner at JewBoy burgers, and I just wasn’t in the mood to deal with it because we had recently lost Rosie. I told them that I wished she could bite on command and they asked “Why? Why would you want the lawsuit?” So I responded that I wished she could bite on command when people asked stupid questions like that. To be fair, they could take it as well as they dished it out so it was actually a pleasant wait in line, but it’s ridiculous that a calm dog who isn’t doing anything is judged for that. I know…it’s a joke, but it’s a tired one. Find a new one. Do better. Be better.

Swipe to see how Buttercup felt about wearing her booties inside 👀 (spoiler: she was outraged…booties are for outside only)

Buttercup got her first dental in years because she had a broken tooth that was causing her pain and needed to come out. I took her in to after noticing that she was shaking at therapy dog visits and while she’s a chihuahua mix, she isn’t a dog that just shakes. We ended up figuring out that her broken tooth had an exposed root so that was most likely the issue.

This dental was slightly complicated because while she is only 8, she also has a heart murmur, so she needed to go get an echocardiogram done to be cleared for surgery. While we were at the heart specialist, we found out that she has mild degenerative valve disease which is common in middle aged chihuahuas. However, at the moment she’s in good shape and we’ll revisit the cardiologist in a year to see how things have progressed.

We’ve always taken great care of our pets and their teeth, and Buttercup’s teeth looked amazing to the naked eye. No plaque or tartar, just the broken teeth that needed to be removed. This is your sign to start saving for a dental for your pet, because some things can’t be seen with a basic exam. She ended up having 8 teeth removed! IIRC, she had three broken teeth total, with one that had an abscess and was showing an infection, 4 baby teeth that were dead, and one tooth removed due to overcrowding. She’s home and resting comfortably (real comfortably, thanks to gabapentin 😂) and she should be feeling way better soon. I’m honestly impressed by her temperament and training because she had to be in pain and she didn’t even act like it. Anyway, get your dogs a dental and brush their dang teeth. Thanks and good night 💤

It’s been one week 🌈

13/06/2023

Rosie is home and resting comfortably. Unfortunately, her numbers went up on her third day of fluids so we brought her home. She’s eating a bit but she’s very weak and tired and can barely hold herself up. We have Lap of Love coming tomorrow evening so she can pass peacefully at home, and in the meantime, she will be spoiled with all the cuddles and kisses and rides to the drive thru, even some chocolate ice cream if she’ll eat it.

She really did her best…she’s fought hard and she had the best life in the nearly 2 years we’ve had her. I’ve loved every minute of her existence and will continue to love her even when she’s gone. Thank you all for loving her along with us 🌹

It’s June 3rd in Texas and it’s already too hot. Send swimming pools and frozen drinks asap 🙏

Happy from Buttercup, who wants to remind you that is all month long! For $30, you get one free pour at 30 local breweries. Proceeds go to keeping our therapy dog services free and it’s also a great way to experience breweries you’ve never been to before! Now a drinker? Totally fine! Almost every brewery has non alcoholic options like sparkling water and/or a food truck, so you can always tag along and enjoy a day out with friends. If you’re not a drinker or not in Austin, check out my bio for a link to donate to the Divine Canines. We hope to see y’all out and about and will be sharing our Barks for Beers schedules in stories!

It’s the Thursday before Barks for Beers kicks off and we need to hydrate! Goat Milk makes an excellent topper for any diet, but we use ours in addition to a raw diet.

What are the benefits of goat milk?
🐐 improved digestion (goat milk is easier to digest than cow milk)
🐐 good source of probiotics which can help strengthen immune system
🐐 can help reduce inflammation due to a combo of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals
🐐 natural hydration (contains electrolytes)

We use raw beef patties along with goat milk to keep Buttercup and Hops shiny and happy. Stop by your local to grab your own!

Pro tip: if you’re a tiny, sleepy, senior dog, Kidney Health doubles as a head rest. Who doesn’t love a multi-tasker?

Rosie has kidney disease and one of the things recommended to us was Dr. Harvey’s Kidney Health supplement. We recently did blood work and while her kidney disease hasn’t slowed, it hasn’t progressed much either. There’s not much you can do with kidney disease besides slowing it down, and we’ve found this to be a good tool to have in our arsenal in addition to a low phosphorus diet and sub cutaneous fluids 3 times a week.

We’re kicking off on April 29 at from 3pm to 7pm and we’d love to see y’all!

Barks for Beers is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Divine Canines, and helps keep our services free. Purchase your pawsport 🥁 for $30 plus tax and get 30 pours at 30 Austin area breweries from April 28 through the month of May.

We’ll have a pup cup bar with coconut whipped cream and toppings for the pets plus unseasoned sliders with sweet potato “fries” available for purchase at the food truck. If you know me, I like a good dog party 🎉 and your pet will go home happy ♥️

If you’re not in Austin, or you’re in Austin but don’t drink, please consider a donation to this truly heartwarming organization. The connection between people and the therapy dogs is so sweet and we love working with the Divine Canines!
