Yesterday afternoon with Miss Daisy & Miss Gretchen 🐾💕 Two separate houses, two nice walks, and two very happy girls relaxing afterward.

I’d say they understood the
assignment. 😌🩷

Puppy day at H.A.N.S. = absolutely zero personal space. 😂🐶❤️

These little ones are getting bigger by the minute, and apparently I’ve officially become part jungle gym, part snack lady, and part favorite climbing post. 😂

After some outside time, lots of puppy kisses and plenty of chaos, everyone was tucked back in looking pretty darn innocent. Don’t let those sweet faces fool you. 😉

Seriously though… how is this my job?! 🥹🐾

Meet Daisy! 🩶🐾

Please help me welcome beautiful Daisy, the newest member of the H.A.N.S. family! Daisy is a gorgeous silver Lab with the sweetest personality. We had a lovely first walk together, and afterward she was very excited to give me the grand tour of her basement. 😂

Safe to say, Daisy and I are already becoming fast friends. Welcome to H.A.N.S., sweet girl! 🩶🐶

Little Red Riding Hood… or is it Willow? ❤️🐾 Either way, it’s a whole lot of cute.

She was SO happy to put on her little red raincoat and head out for a rainy-day walk. ☔️ We were doing just fine… until the thunder and lightning started. ⚡️🌩️ Willow decided right then and there that the walk was officially OVER.

And honestly? I was a little grateful she made that decision for both of us. 😂 We headed back inside where Little Red Riding Willow was much happier — and much safer. ❤️

🐾☔️❤️

Mavis is officially in the homestretch of wearing her cone after being spayed, and let me tell you… this little girl is PENT UP. 😂 They had to get her a special cone because she managed to chew through the others, and she is more than ready to run and play again.

And River? River is OVER it. 😂 This picture says it all. He has been such a patient big brother through Mavis’s recovery, but I’m pretty sure he’s counting down the days right along with her.

Then it was off to see sweet Gracie for a nice, calm little walk. She had just been groomed and was looking extra pretty in her fresh bandanna. 🖤

A little chaos, a little calm, and three very sweet dogs. Pretty perfect day. 🐶💕

Today is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day… and wow, has the H.A.N.S. ginger crew grown! 🧡🐈

These five sweet orange babies — Baggins, Mango, Miles, Charlie, and Miss Lucy are all from different H.A.N.S. families, which somehow makes this little collection of ginger goodness even more fun. 🥹🧡

Each one has their own personality, their own quirks, and their own special way of making me smile. And yes, Charlie gets two photos because he was my very first H.A.N.S. kid , so he gets a little extra spotlight. 🐾

Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day to this handsome and beautiful crew! 🧡

Between Monday and Saturday last week, I cared for 39 dogs! Now granted, 20 of them were all at one home, the foster puppies and their resident crew, but 39 dogs are still 39 dogs! 😂🐾

So when Sunday brought me only two visits, both with sweet Miss JLo, it honestly felt like a day off. After such a busy week, spending a quiet, relaxing day with this gentle, loving girl was exactly what I needed.

Miss JLo is perfectly happy relaxing together and watching Home Improvement or Leave It to Beaver and I had forgotten just how cute Leave It to Beaver was! 📺💕

Sometimes the dogs take care of us, too and yesterday, Miss JLo certainly took care of me. 🥰🐶

Apparently my dogs came color-coded yesterday! 😂💛🖤

Three blonde cuties and three black beauties: Lily, Leo, JLo, Pepper, Cola and Gracie. Lily & Leo are one family, while Pepper & Cola are another. JLo & Gracie aren’t related, but I’m sure they’re perfectly happy to share their side of the collage! 😂🐾💕

Yesterday in a nutshell! 🐾 Duke the sweet senior, Willow the long-legged supermodel, the Frenchie Four, gentle JLo…and, of course, who could forget the piranhas, I mean puppies! 😂🐶

Those little piranhas even ripped my shorts and nearly pulled them down! 😂 I mean, just look at all that cuteness—and mischief in one collage! My heart is so full. 💕🐾

Look who made the news! 🎥🐶💕

These are the same sweet puppies I’ve had the privilege of caring for, and seeing them featured for Puppy Yoga made my heart so happy! Sadly, I couldn’t make it because duty called with Luna, Birdie Bea and JLo…but I’m so proud of these precious pups and everyone working so hard to help them find their forever homes. 🐾🏡

Twenty puppies ran around the yoga mats, stretching and snuggling with guests.
