Exhaustion level: just tried to plug in my diet coke and drink my phone.
24 hours driving transport + 10 miles of walking in 3 days’ time. The things I do for dogs. 😂😭

Soleil checks a lot of boxes for my “perfect dog.”
- Good with kids
- High drive
- Food & toy motivated
- Solid off switch
- Good house manners
- Good with other dogs
- Fairly aloof
But she’s not our dog. I don’t know how to explain it - I can just feel it. But I’m so impossibly glad she’s alive.

I’m convinced Soleil may be one of the most photogenic dogs in existence.

Struggling to get into BlueSky not because it’s drastically different from Threads, but because my feed and my followers really aren’t at all curated yet.
Threads is always relevant, while BlueSky feels random. Help me out - drop your favorite dog accounts below! 🐕❤️

Lilli is making great progress with her muzzle work, and even showed her new skill off for a minor medical procedure last week. I’m so proud of her! 🥰

Tatiana helping me record a fantastic example of ‘fading the lure,’ which is how I move our dogs to total vocal control with new behaviors and commands!

It’s happening! My application and professional logged hours have been accepted, and I’ll be sitting for my certified professional dog training assessment later this year! 🥰

Relaxation free shaping session exercise The initial down she’s being rewarded for is called a “temporary criteria,” with full body relaxation being our goal. Once her head touches the ground, the exercise is over. She gets a jackpot reward and gentle release cue to do whatever she likes! 🥰

BlueSky, I brought home another foster. Meet Rosalind, an LA fire survivor (surrendered before the fires began). She’s the best girl and I know she’s going to make somebody very happy! ❤️🩹

“Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.”
As many of you know, Briar suffered from a massive seizure over the weekend that significantly impacted her cognitive function. Today she began having repeat breakthrough seizures even with medication.
(She’s asleep after a seizure here)

Briar says that, even though it was a rough day, it wasn’t all bad because someone sent her yak chews and new squeaky toys from our Amazon list! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

Briar tried her best, but could not be handled for an exam and blood draw today even with her meds. She’ll have to come back tomorrow under full sedation to hopefully get some answers. ❤️🩹 She and I have had a rough day, but we’re hanging in there.

Y’all, I’m tired. This is 3-4 times per day every day. I usually share warm, fuzzy, positive things about life with Briar, but today, I’m tired. I hope we get some answers this week. ❤️🩹

My husband just chastised me very thoroughly when he found out I’ve only been giving Piper ONE pill pocket for both of her pills. Apparently they’re her favorite & I’m a monster for holding out on an old lady like that. 😂 I love this man and his heart for all the animals who come through our doors 🥰

It is extremely unlikely that she has epilepsy. With her neuro symptoms, the top contenders are a brain lesion, liver shunt, or (the most likely) brain damage from surviving a serious infection like distemper. Regardless, she’s doing much better on her adjusted meds!

I wanted to give a more thorough Briar update. Following her seizures, we started her on Keppra every 8 hours and tripled her anxiety meds. At the vet, she was too worked up to allow an exam of any kind, so she’s going to get more thorough testing under sedation this week.
