“Apey, please! Please… Apey!!!! Just throw the ball ONE MORE TIME!!!!”

People ask me if I ever get nervous meeting new dogs. Ha! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I LOVE them! ❤️ And usually, they’re just as excited to meet me as I am them. Usually… 🤣

Meet Beau! 🐶

I got to spend the last three days with this handsome boy, and let me tell you… we had a little rocky start! 😂

I went for a meet-and-greet about a month ago with his parents, and everything went great! Fast forward to Monday after work… I walk into the house, and apparently Beau decided I was his sworn enemy. He wanted to eat my face! He growled, tried to bite me, refused to eat, and there was NO WAY I was getting that harness on him for a walk. 😳

So there I was thinking, Oh, great… this is going to be a FUN three days! 🙄

BUT THEN… Tuesday morning came, and I woke up to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DOG! 😂 Suddenly, we were best friends! He wanted all the cuddles and was constantly pressing himself against me for some skin-to-skin contact. LOL! Apparently, Beau just needed a night to think about it and decided I was acceptable after all. 🤣❤️

And ever since then, he’s been such a GOOD BOY! 🥹 He’s a big talker, walks great on his leash, and is absolutely OBSESSED with Milk-Bones! 😂🍖 (Honestly, same energy as me when someone mentions snacks. 🤷‍♀️🤣)

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet new babies, earn their trust, and love on them like they’re my own. Even when they initially want to eat my face! 😂❤️🐾

Another reminder that sometimes you just have to give them a little time to decide you’re their person! 🥰

I got to spend the week with sweet Heidi, and this was our first time together since River passed. 🥹 It was a little different with just us girls, but we made the most of our time together!

Heidi is such a sweet, playful girl who LOVES her snuggles (and apparently thinks my crotch is the perfect place to stick her nose at the most unexpected moments! 😳😂🙄). Eh… What’s another week with no person space. 😂🤷‍♀️

And don't even get me started on the treats! 🍪 This girl is ON A MISSION when it comes to snacks. I could hide them in a hundred different places, and somehow she'd sniff out every single one. 😂 I think I need to step up my hiding game!

Heidi, thank you for all the love, snuggles, laughs, and sweet moments this week! 😘 You are one special girl, and I'm so grateful I get to love on you! ❤️🐶

Until next time, sweet girl! 🐾💕

Please say a prayer today for my buddy, Archie, as he goes into surgery! 🙏

You know that smile that tells you EVERYTHING?

That’s the smile of a happy girl who knows she’s loved, spoiled, and thinks Mom made the BEST decision ever by having Apey come stay!

There’s just something about seeing a happy pup that makes my heart so full. Getting to love on these babies is such a blessing, and those smiles? BEST. PAYMENT. EVER. 🥹🐾❤️

This week I got to hang out and get to know a brand-new family of dogs… a MINI PACK OF DOODLES! Y’all, imagine the chaos, the laughs, and the amount of SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR I had to chase down! lol. Apparently, we’re not just playing fetch around here… we’re playing “Aunt Apey, try to catch me with your own laundry!”
But seriously, these are some of the sweetest babies! They constantly need to be touched, loved on, snuggled, petted, and reminded every 3.5 seconds that they are, in fact, the center of my universe… lol And guess what? Aunt Apey is MORE than happy to clock in for that job! 😂
Another week of getting paid in doggy kisses, doodle snuggles, and a whole lot of laughs. I swear, I have the BEST job ever! ❤️

It’s a doodle world, and I’m just lucky enough to be in it! 🐶🥰🐾

Sometimes God gives little reminders that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. 🥹❤️

The sweetest gifts, the kindest people, and the opportunity to love on so many precious babies… my heart is full.

Thank you, Russell family, for your love, support, and for always making me feel like part of your family. Love you all so very much! 🥰🐾
