One thing’s for sure, two things for certain: Lyric has a snoot, there are sniffs to be had, and she WILL find them.

Happy Howl-ween! 🐾 🧡🖤🧡🖤 🎃

This year we passed out candy and practiced being settled while kids came to the door.
My wil doggo has a great fear of kids, likely due to a lack of enforced boundaries in his past.

He has been doing SO wonderful lately and we’ve been working so hard. I am always delighted to see his progress and this was a big milestone.

He was able to lay on his bed the ENTIRE TIME we welcomed trick or treaters. Even though I could tell he was very stimulated and nervous, he was able to focus on me and treats and didn’t even bark once!!!

We only did this for an hour, and that choice was based on his current temperament, recent evidence of his level of restraint and progress around triggers.
(This may be a long time for some dogs. We have been working on specific things that made this possible along with his own energy).

I will forever boast my boy’s progress. He is so strong and determined. And I am so grateful to be apart of this journey with him🥰🥰🥰

👻 P.S last pic is Koda’s ghosty costume we forgot to finish..

Stella said she’d help do observations. I’m not sure Touille needs this close of an eye kept on her but perhaps she’s thankful for the extra company..

Hi friends!

I will be out of the country working in the rainforest for a few weeks with long days and spotty wifi. I appreciate your patience as I dedicate my time to my students and our journey. I am excited to be working in different conservation settings, and I will also be happy to be home with familiar animal friends when I get back

Happy Earth Day 🌱 🥰 🌍 💚 🌟

I hope you’re able to spend some time outside today!

If your dog uses benebones, don’t forget about their recycling program!

Good dogs do good things. 🌎

This Earth Day, we’re excited to announce our dog chew toy recycling program with TerraCycle®️, a global leader that collects and recycles the unrecyclable. ♻️

When it’s time for a refresh, have your dog fetch their worn bones and recycle them with TerraCycle®️! There’s no need to throw away your retired Benebones. Instead, you’ll be giving them a second life when you .

Sign up and get started: www.benebone.com/greener. Grab a box and collect five worn bones to send back to reduce your carbon pawprint. 📦 (Benebone-branded nylon chew toys only.)

Hey friends! I have received a couple inquiries about grooming services in NC. I am not personally familiar with any groomers in the area and many of my clients do their own work.

Do y’all have any groomers in NC you’d recommend? If so, please drop their name/info down below so others can find a good match for their babies as well! 😊

Happy Holidays to all of the friends I have made, both human and non, through love and care❤️

I am genuinely SO thankful to have the opportunity to spend time with the amazing creatures I have met and have yet to meet. Coexisting with animals and sharing the joy I experience with them is a huge part of what makes life rich and full for me. I am blessed to be able to learn and grow alongside such beautiful, funny, present creatures💚

I appreciate you all for trusting me with your family. And I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season spending time with them.

Spreading love and light,

Shalonda
