Things are brutal everywhere, so we wanted to give you another reminder of the good you do every day. Our Brazilian shelter is helping save puppies daily, and our Tanzanian shelter is bringing hope and happiness to people and animals alike!

Is she summoning something or did she just read the news.

[video: Mildred the cow cat turns and looks at us like we should hear the baleful Latin she hears]

Definitely not caught doing something suspicious. 🙄

[video: Murray the Aussie puppy stands rock still with his head down and eyes looking up, looking very guilty about something, but won’t tell us what about]

Chicken, run. Murray asks “why you running?” while tying on a bib.

[video: Murray the Aussie looks on as nonchalantly as he can, while chickens are not fooled and literally run for the hills]

I was eventually able to get it and end its suffering (he can only catch them because they’re on the ground buzzing as they’re dying), but the fact that he pretended nothing was happening while walking casually and whistling… 🤦🏽‍♀️

It’s becoming that time of year again’ while everything is on fire, let’s always take a moment to appreciate the little things like tiny dogs in tiny hats, and how much they want to trick-or-treat!

Murray is a wildlife enthusiast. Albeit a sus one.

[video: a deer munching on greenery around a fig tree, then close up on Murray the aussie’s face, obsessed with the deer. To the Cars on the Road “we can put him in the truck” lyrics]

More lives you’ve saved in Brazil! Thanks to you, they have a chance! We know it’s been a rough month, so a reminder that you’re saving lives every day!

Sneak your way through the week intact!

[video: Murray the Aussie looks around for a deer he can sense, but the deer is hiding in the bushes asking me with a look saying “don’t tell him I’m here”]

You made it to Friday on another month-long week! Celebrate with a Jurassic pup cup!

[video: Murray the Aussie standing on his hind legs like a t-Rex as he eats a pup cup that I just didn’t lower to give him yet. To the Jurassic Park theme]

Murray and Jean-Luc say congratulations, you made it to Friday! Celebrate by getting out there to remind yourself there’s a whole sane-making natural world to counteract not-so-much times!

[video: The two pups stare at a box turtle on a front yard, who seems quite over them]

I caught a fish! The elusive border collie mix, known for flapping about when on land (can’t take credit for the idea, as I got it from @dykanite!).

[video: Murray the border mix, biting and hanging from a plush toy. I point to him the way guys hold a fish, to the Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club”]

Here are more animals you saved! Our Brazilian rescue Protetores sem Fronteiras tells us about each little one who are only safe and thriving now thanks to you!

But which is the goblin and which is its prey?

Ewok Miss Pearl is marching to her celebrational meal eating stormtroopers! The littlest bear has the power to change the galaxy!

Despite how horrible things may be in so many places, you’re still saving lives, every day, like this stray found sad and needing medical care outside our Tanzanian shelter. Thanks to you, now a happy, cared for dog, vaccinated and dewormed! Remember that saving one life changes the world!

Miss Pearl made the mistake of reading the news. Friends don’t let friends’ pugs access the internet.

[video: Miss Pearl pekapug looks depressed laying down with the thousand yard stare in two opposite directions, under the canopy of bamboo trees, to the music of Mozart’s Requiem]

More puppies you’ve saved at our Brazilian shelter! They’ll be vaccinated, and they have guaranteed food this month, thanks to you all. ❤️

[video: montage of little puppies with sassy faces, held in our rescuer’s arms, along with bags of food and other dogs that will be fed and cared for this month]

Murray is mostly black and white, he’s grown up among bamboo trees, and his sister Miss Pearl the pekapug is from China. So why wouldn’t he assume he’s a panda? 🐼 Or that he’ll regenerate into a panda after eating enough bamboo!

We always loved Loretta Swit, the legend from M.A.S.H., who also loved Piggy. Always a supporter of the animals. ❤️ Rest in peace with all the pups who will greet you with wiggly butts. ❤️

Another rough week for everyone, deserves another reminder that you’re saving lives around the world every day!

Mildred is channeling all of us at the moment.

[video: Mildred on her back with a thousand yard stare, to the inner voices of a hundred “I’m fine” sound bites]

More babies you’ve saved at our Brazilian shelter to remind you, you are the heroes the world needs! Mom was rescued, and gave birth prematurely. Now, they’re all plump and happy! Thank you for helping our puppy plumping services!

When there are cookies around, there will be the betrayed face of dog. Because what’s yours is his, and what’s his is cookie.

[video: funfetti cookies, followed by zooming in on the utter betrayal on the face of Murray the Aussie pup, wondering why hooman has forsaken him.]

Monday morning after a candy-filled holiday, Mildred the cow-cat simulates your alarm. Now with bonus slobber.

[video: Mildred tries to wake up grumpy Jean-Juc the dachshund mix, by licking him incessantly, while he still tries to ignore her]
