A life worth living 🤍

Good Morning from the pack 🤍

Someone should really find a groomer for these poodles though! They look ROUGH. 😉

Maybe someone can teach the white one to stop rolling in dirt 🫶🏼

I heard it’s National Dog Day, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that these dogs win. Every. Single. Time. 🩷

Through every trial, every failure, every heartbreak, every unexpected turn and every version of my life… they’ve been the constant.

I’ve loaded them into the car more times than I ever thought I would, headed toward another change they didn’t understand. And not once did they worry about where we were going, what we were leaving behind, or what came next.

To them, it was just another adventure they got to take with me.

They didn’t care what house we lived in. They didn’t care what plans fell apart. They didn’t care when life looked completely different than I thought it would.

As long as they had me, they were home.

And somewhere along the way, I realized the same was true for me. 🥹

We’ve been through a lot together. They’ve seen some of my happiest days and some of the ones I wasn’t sure how I’d get through. And through all of it, there they were, ready to hop in the car and follow me wherever life took us next.

But this time feels a little different.

This time, I got to load them up and bring them to OUR home. A place that belongs to us. A place where we can finally settle in, exhale, and stay awhile. 🏡🩷

So ignore the mess… we’re still getting settled. But I don’t think any of us have ever been happier to make one. 😂

Happy National Dog Day to the ones who have followed me through every chapter without ever asking how the story ends. Aurora, Lena, Iris, Jasper, Violet, Sage, Tink, and Gunner.

These dogs win. Every time. 🩷🐾

While little Violet has found a home, Sage and Lena are still searching!

For clarification, and because sometimes I forget people don’t know all my dogs like I do, Sage is the Dalmatian, Lena is the poodle! 🩷

Lots of life changes (again) lately, and unfortunately, that means making some decisions I really don’t want to make. 💔

I have three girls who will be looking for the right homes. I’m in absolutely no rush, and finding the right fit for each of them matters more to me than anything.

🐾 Little Violet
Violet is 14 weeks old and still looking for her family! She is a Sancho x Sage baby and such a sweet little girl. If you’ve reached out about her in the past, please don’t hesitate to message me again!

🐾 Sage
My sweet Sagey girl. This one hurts.

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided it’s time for me to significantly cut back on my Dalmatians. If I ever decide to have another Dalmatian litter, Violet will be my only mama.

I love this breed dearly, but the last 14 months have brought more drama, heartbreak, stress, and misery than I have ever experienced with any other breed. At this point in my life, I simply don’t have the mental capacity to keep doing it.

Sage just turned 3 and is an IABCA International Champion, APRI Champion, and APRI Prominent Champion. She is my quiet girl who is perfectly content being left alone to do her own thing. She’s wonderful with kids, LOVES her squeaky ball, and genuinely enjoys curling up in her kennel.

She is kennel trained and potty trained. Sage will be spayed before leaving me.

🐾 Lena
And then there’s Lena. ❤️

Lena turns 5 at the end of this month and has actually been retired for almost two and a half years. She was placed in what I thought would be her forever home, but eventually came back to me after I received a call that she was sitting in a shelter in Kansas City.

So this time, I want to make absolutely certain her next home really is forever.

Lena is a BIG lover. She loves being outside, loves attention, and is wonderful with kids. She is already spayed, kennel trained, potty trained, and I truly believe she could fit beautifully into just about any home.

If one of these ladies sounds like she may belong with you, please send me a message. I’m happy to have conversations, answer questions, and get to know potential families before making any decisions about where they go.

These girls mean far too much to me to rush their next chapter. ❤️

This girl. 😂💜

** she is still looking for a human of her own!

She is the female version of her father. The sweetest, goofiest girl!

I’m still at a loss on why nobody has snatched her up! 💜

“Someone help me before this child squeezes me to death.”

Happy 3rd Birthday to my Sagey girl!! 💚

The quietest, sweetest, most gentle soul you could ever meet. There is just something so special about this girl. 🥹

I love being your favorite person, Sage, and I hope that never changes!

Now, if you could just have a little talk with all your friends and let them know that maybe—just for TODAY—they don’t have to share my lap with you… that would be great. 😂

Happy Birthday, sweet girl! I love you more than you know. 💚🐾
