The way Brisket looks at his mom > anything else 🥹

Everyone tends to have a preference of male or female for their dogs, but I love things about both!

I love working with my girls and the partnership we build along the way. Boys tend to just be happy to do whatever, as long as we're together!

Do you prefer dogs to be boys, girls, or both like me? 🐾

Okay, there's a lot that I love about and it's hard to pick a favorite. BUT I love their bags with the easy close tops!

They're especially handy for travel! Especially when the food container is accidentally broken while away from home 😅 but the food was still sealed, so we were good to go!

Packaging isn't something you really thing about it until you need it!

Once we finish a bag, we use it as a trash bag so it's not entirely single use!

What do you do with your empty food bags?

Finally sharing my favorite recent shot of Nala 😍

I printed it on a canvas for her foster mom as wedding present, and I wanted her to see it first!

I'm still learning (and always will be), but I'm proud of the difference in my photography now, from when I first started!
It's definitely Monday! 😅 did you have a good weekend? I think mine was too short!

It's been a long week and it's only Tuesday 😅😭

I, like a lot of us, rely on our dogs for mental health support. I've always said, it's impossible to watch Brisket for a minute without laughing. He's just ridiculous!

How does your dog bring you joy?

We don't typically feed canned food as part of our dogs's daily diets. We primarily feed it supplementary with enrichment! However, our canned food usage has gone up since the arrival of our newest addition!
Meet Miss Dolly Parton! She is around 5weeks old and will be available for adoption through in January!
She's currently getting an assortment of goodies including soaked puppy kibble and canned food. Mixed with either puppy milk replacement or goat milk 🥛
If you'd like to donate towards her care, we have the BARC site listed in our link tree (link in bio). Thank you for helping us help pups like Dolly and Willie!

Happy Thanksgiving!
We love including our dogs in festivities where we can. Since we're traveling this year, we added Turkey and Sweet Potato Paté 🦃
Verus patés are the perfect texture for adding to frozen enrichment, especially smearing onto lickimats!
Do you include your dogs in the holidays?
