This is Ellen. She’s really shutdown and anxious. Yesterday my win was getting her to engage with a Kong.

I’m discouraged by my shelters lack of enrichment program. Someday I hope to run an enrichment program at a shelter, but for now I’m going to do what my limited time allows for the Ellens ❤️

Enrichment doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Nightcrawler loves shredding. This is a paper lunch bag filled with kibble crumpled up and thrown in a bigger paper bag crumpled up. He went to town shredding everything. One happy pup afterward ❤️

It’s been a hard few days. I’m grateful for my pups who bring me so much joy. They are both having so much fun in the snow this morning 💕
