Brooke's Journey This is Brooke. Brooke, along with at least 50 other dogs was a victim of neglect from a large scale breeder. She was adopted by her foster family.

11 years ago today, I met Brooke as her foster. She is still pretty sprightly, still steals the mail, still makes weird haunted house noises when she would like attention. She’s been on pimobendan now for about six months as she has a mitrial valve issue thst appears to be hereditary. She also has decided only eat her kibbles with the finest lean ground beef tossed with jasmine rice (IDK, it’s Brooke, what can I say). I love her endlessly.

Brooke would like to remind everyone that it was ten years ago that she and her family were rescued in New York. She has spent ten years as part of a family. She’s had four different couch corners, and recently upgraded to an orthopedic bed in the bedroom. She’s kind of getting to be a bit of an older lady, with a heart murmur and some thyroid medicine. She follows her mom around the house since one of her adopted brothers passed, and is now the designated Waiter Outside The Bathroom. She DOES NOT LIKE the winter weather, at all, and prefers an instant snuggle under the blankets after going out to do her business.

She is a poster child, in a way, for “see something, say something”, and for all of the rescuers, “don’t take no for an answer.” Thank you to all who keep fighting the good fight for all the Brookes of the world.

When Brooke wants attention, she makes noises like a haunted house. Moaning, creaking loudly like an ancient door, howling, whines that make your hair stand on end… the repertoire is endless. Will she do it if she hasn’t had attention in hours? Yes. Will she do it if you just stopped giving her attention a nanosecond ago? Also yes. Conference calls? Yes. During dinner? Absolutely. Have company? She will bring you a leaf and serenade you with her best grating door hinge sounds. Haunted house. All. The. Time.

Happy LEAP Day! (This is an old photo of Brooke from 2016, but it’s very apt for today!)

10 years ago today, the photos of Brooke and her family living in blue barrels in New York were big news in the border collie rescue world and we were in the midst of some of the coldest weather we’d seen in awhile.

Hard to believe it’s 10 years. That means that 9.85 of those, Brooke has been in her forever home. She’s made new friends, always been the first to greet new foster dogs, gone on trips and howled at least once a month for no reason at all (or because she would like whatever you are eating). She rolls in the grass or leaves (or dirt sometimes) at least once a day, then comes inside for a snack. She has been a beloved and treasured member of our family for nearly a whole decade. She’s still sometimes skittish but after she hit around age 8-9, she decided she’s not going to be that girl anymore and will investigate new things and strange noises with the best of them. She is our perfect girl and we couldn’t love her more.

Brooke would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year full of delicious snacks and good things ❤️

Brooke is mad because I gave her a bath. She needs baths because she rolls in the grass/dirt/interesting smelling “things”. I’ve tried explaining to her: if you don’t roll in everything your nose comes across, you wouldn’t need baths. She doesn’t listen. And is still mad because I gave her a bath.
