Henny’s ears remind me of Belly’s ears 🤍

✨ Honey girl is all about girl power 🌸 Me too.
I agree with her, boys suck and they have cooties.
It is fun to mess with them though.

We saw lots of burnt paw pads on weeks like this when I worked at the vet. 🐾🐾🐾

Vinnie has a special message for you about the heat.

Be careful when walking your dog around. Surface temperatures can exceed the danger zone very easily, burning a dog's paws with a few seconds of exposure.

Walks in the early morning or late evening are best and if you must go outside during the day, spend that time in the grass.

The first photo is of Melbourne but the rest of this post is in tribute to Scotty (in the rest of the photos.)

Scotty passed over the rainbow bridge a couple of years ago. 🌈 Melbourne reminds me a lot of Scotty. They are the protectors of their houses but they are big babies deep down. They have calm temperaments compared to other bully boys I’ve been around. Melbourne snuggles with me and deadweights himself just like Scotty did.

Scotty was my first dog & his parents were my first clients in Chattanooga 7 years ago. He was able to just be toted around with me most places & socialize. Scotty and I have a lot of memories together.

Scotty’s parents now have Tonka. I see Tonka often too. Tonka was the first dog I trained last year in Chattanooga. It’s funny how some things in life come full circle. Their parents have been a God send to me and my work - from regularly using and utilizing all of my services to spreading my information out to their friend group. One of the best things about my work is how family oriented it is. I will forever be grateful for that.

Fun fact: I save all of my clients names as “Client Name (Dog’s Name)” and for any dog that passes away, I don’t take their name out of the contact card. Tonka’s mom & dad names in my phone are still “Client Name (Scotty)” and I will never change it. It’s like a little hi from Scotty every time I hear from one of them. It’s my favorite way to keep his Spirit alive.

Belly’s ears are wide open and she is a really good eater. I met her friend Cooper today. He likes to tell Belly what to do - but he is giving gentleman vibes with his tuxedo suit.

Apollo is a good walker. He’s not a puller but he does like to lead me. It’s not that bad but he does zig zag right in front of my feet. Eventually he walks beside me so no complaints here.🦮🚶‍♀️

Tonka & I feel the most free in the woods 🌲

We all went for a long walk in the dark together. Luca is still getting used to his gentle lead. We’re working on it.
