(the post..the words all just disappeared. It won't be as a good as the first time)

I have been putting off making this post because it's hard to put into words how much these dogs meant to us, and how grateful we are that we got to be a part of their lives.

We lost not one but two clients this month, to the same cancer. Different dogs, different circumstances. Both absolutely unfair.

Gris Gris was a force. He was far too young. We got to watch him grow up into this amazing, intense and sweet unforgettable boy. We were lucky enough not only to be his walkers but also experience him inside our facility.

Gus was an absolute joy. He was a goofy boy always ready to bring a smile to your face. He had lived a full life and it was still too soon.

💜 We are forever grateful for the opportunity to get to know these amazing dogs and be a part of their lives. And our deepest condolences to their family.

Hazel is currently looking for her new, forever home. She is a 12 year old plott hound with some anxiety that made the changes in her home life that have made her unhappy and unfortunately have her looking for her new home.

Her ideal home would be a home where she gets plenty of attention, doesn't have to contend with kids, and doesn't have to worry as much about noise. She is generally okay with kids, thanks to the training she received when she was younger. However, given her anxiety and random acts of jumping out of her bed and barking while running toward the door, we feel probably not a home with children just becoming mobile. As for the noise, it's Tacoma, so we're emphasizing the "relatively" very strongly here.

Having a backyard would be preferable, since she has been trained to go outside to go potty and then come back. Historically, she hasn't done well in apartments, but we can leave that to the potential owner if they feel confident in their ability to make sure she gets outside time.

we are hoping to find a home understanding of her anxieties and has the space to give Hazel attention and patience. That transition period is likely going to be rough but as she settles, Hazel is a sweet, loving girl. She will need to be an only dog.

We have some senior boys looking for their forever homes.

First is Bane. He is a 12 year old Boston terrier. We actually took this boy on thinking he was a hospice case, however, as he settled and started feeling better, it became apparent really quick the only thing that slows him down a little bit is his eyes. He can see shadows and shapes. He loves to play with toys, is a huge fan of food and enjoys butt scratches and cuddles. He is VERY affectionate and playful.

Next we have Blitz- a 12 year old terrier mix. He is a very sweet boy. Right now, he's a little sad and confused, as his loving situation has obviously changed. Through no fault of his own, as he has been loved and spoiled his whole life. He's just looking for somewhere soft to land. He's a gentle sweetheart who just wants someone to lay on the couch with.

They will be posted on Petfinder and adopt a pet shortly, but if you are interested, you can fill out our adoption application to come meet one of these boys!

Several years ago we had a Corgi puppy in our puppy group. She's almost six now. We did all of our normal puppies start things. We worked really hard on several behaviors. She was not an easy puppy. But she was mostly sweet. One of the things we do with our babies is we teach them how to be groomed. Some dogs took a lot more work than others. Lucy was one of the ones that took a lot of extra training. Fast forward, Lucy's been going to the owners original groomer for several years. Unfortunate circumstances caused a bad experience which left Lucy no longer able to be groomed by said groomer. So is the last ditch effort, her owner brought her back to us. We were prepared with all of the tools for things to be difficult. But that wasn't the case. Apparently Lucy remembered all the things we taught her. And remembered her first groomer. And handled it like a pro. ❤️

Ever have the urge to have your dog out with you in public? Whether it be as a service dog, an emotional support dog or just a dog you want to be able to take out into public without worrying? I will be opening up days and times in the upcoming months to do Public Access work with anyone who is interested.

They should be up to date on shots and have the basics down. Both dogs in these photos are at different levels of training. For full public access for a service dog, it takes a minimum of two years. It's a full time commitment. Message me for more information.

Also, I know these pictures aren't of them inside working, but those pictures were boring and these were beautiful. Lol Crichton & Calcifer.
