Our first foster brother!

Conway has joined this clan of Texans and is fitting in like a glove!

He is the craziest, most stubborn, lovable floof and we love him…. Kind of 😒 (we totally love him)

What do you think? Should we keep him?

Miss Betty.

Betty comes from Houston, Texas (just like our Gabe!). All we know so far is that she was labeled a stray in the shelter.

Betty is the sweetest, most hyper, ball of love we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We’re so excited for all of our adventures to come 🤍🍓

My sweet Gabe has left us.

He was surrounded by me, his Pa, his brother, his grandparents, and his amazing vet. He was 1 week shy of 10 years old.

There’s no words. No words to describe my boy.

Gabe found his way to me after being in rescue in Texas. I knew immediately he was the one for me. Gabe was deaf, epileptic, had blunt force trauma to the head, spondylosis, cardiomyopathy, and a bladder condition that remained undiagnosed. He was the most special boy.

We had a rocky start (more like B had a rocky start). Adjusting to having a new brother was no easy task, but they did it. They became best friends and I know Bubba will miss his brother everyday. Bubba has known for a while what is happening and has been so kind and giving Gabe and I the space to mourn together.

Gabe overcame a lot in his years by my side. He started walking off leash, he was able to be out of his crate when I left, he became nicer to other dogs, he started to share, he began to love his face and ears being rubbed, and with each day he became more and more of a prince. Because let’s be honest, he was spoiled every day. Man could rock a sexy turtleneck okay!

The biggest gift Gabe gave to me was the experience of caring for a special needs dog. Because of him, we will have many more in the years to come. He was a gift all in himself, but he always made me feel like I was the gift. Everyday he made sure I knew that I was all he needed. He saved my life just as much as I saved his.

I really don’t know how to embark on this new phase of life. I have protected Gabe every day for the past 5 years and not being able to protect him anymore is uncomfortable and heartbreaking. Having his soul be free and not where I can make sure he is safe is absolutely horrendous. Gabe completed me in ways no person/dog has ever been able to. This feeling is all too real and I don’t know how we will be okay.

My boy. I will love you for eternity. I can’t bring myself to say goodbye, so I will see you soon. I will see you in all the places we’ve been and the places you loved. You were the greatest gift.

Gabey baby went for a car wash with his Cam Cam after chiro today ❤️

Gabe has slowed down exponentially and his frustration with life is increasing. His legs just don’t want to move how he wants them to, his anxiety is sky high, and he is getting sick of taking his medication.

Today, Gabe’s Chiropractor suggested we consider stopping his weekly sessions as he is only deteriorating and the sessions are becoming more and more painful for him.

We’ve made the decision to stop -for now- to focus on enjoying life while we can rather than focussing on prolonging it. Should we decide to revisit at a later time, we will, but for now we are embracing the time we have left.

Now our weekends will consist of exploring however we can and lots and lots of car rides. No time will ever be enough, but we have today, and I’ll take it while I can ❤️
