Julio

This is Julio. We adopted him 2 years ago at age 10 and he was so abused. No teeth, had no hair and weighed 4lbs. We loved him so much. He passed 02/17/24. I will never heal from this.

Mrs.

Her name was Spooner. A white mixed breed beauty with a purple tongue and black sparkling eyes. She was a shelter dog given up because the kids didn’t want her. That I will never understand, but I was so thankful. She was my first dog at 40 years old and named after a dog in […]

Mexican Stray

I found Mercedes in the hills of Baja Mexico, lying on deaths doorstep; among her deceased siblings. The only surviving puppy of the litter, only 6 weeks old. Finding her changed the entire trajectory of my life because at that instant, I became an animal rights advocate, rescuer and producer of a documentary about dogs. […]

Matilda

I wanted to share that my girl Tilly left us for the rainbow bridge this morning.

Zoro – My Little Baby

My Dear Zoro, I always wanted to have a dog, but Muma and Papa did not allow me to have one until 5th standard, so you were born exactly at the right time! We got you home when you were just a week old. Papa was initially a bit reluctant to love you, but you […]

The Life of Riley

Riley was a rescue I adopted in 2005. He was a Corgi/MinPin mix and had ears the size of radar dishes! Riley enjoyed coming to work with me, and some other great doggos in our visiting group, to visit the Veterans who were patients on my Behavioral Health ward. Riley eventually became my PTSD Service […]

My little shadow.

After losing Lulu and then Frankie Boy Sammy was our last of the 3 Musketeers. He was Frankie’s pal. He was lost without him. We became very bonded in our sadness. He truly was my shadow. We lost him at 13 from diabetes. I miss him with me every step I take. He was a […]

Hope Whispers

The day I saw Hope was the start of a beautiful love story full of adventure and healing. She fit in the palm of my hand. She was so fluffy I could hardly tell where her legs and eyes were. I was not in a good place in my life and was struggling to find […]
