Good Morning Friends 😊

Who's ready to play?

It's been another chaotic week and us doggos want to remind you to take time to have fun!

Get outside and let go of all the stress.

Don't let the mean people crush your joy!

You deserve to have some fun!

Peace, Love, Play ~ Hope 💙🐾

Who's ready for the weekend?

One of the greatest lessons our pups teach us how to PLAY

I tried to capture that feeling in this little piece based on a pic of @dazwhitehead1.bsky.social (Luna the Looney) as she exemplifies the playful Lab spirit and is always up for fun with her dad 💙🐾

I often wonder why it is that watching our precious pups sleep fills us with such a feeling of inner peace

Perhaps its because for that one moment, everything feels right with the world

All of our fears melt away and all we feel is love and gratitude - that is living in the moment 🐾💙

Today choose hope ~ live this day like an old country dog who was on death row but never gave up hope.

Once rescued, his foster dad took him to the beach and he ran like the wind with pure joy!

I hope Bixby will inspire you to keep going no matter the burdens you carry 💙🐾

During these chaotic times, it's vital to slow our breathing and quiet our minds

Our dogs feel the stress perhaps even more than we do

They need to feel our inner peace so that they can relax

Just 20 minutes of daily meditation ~ or napping ~ with your pup will benefit you both 💙🐾

Happy Monday!

I hope that today brings you the inner peace felt by a beloved pup dreaming of romping through the sunflowers

Our pups are spiritual masters

Sent to teach us to live in the moment, savor the joy of each day and to love with an open heart 💙🐾

I missed Kukur Tihar on October 20th, part of the Tihar Festival in Nepal!

Kukur Tihar celebrates the bond between humans and dogs and pays tribute to their loyalty and companionship.

It's not too late to give your pup a special treat and thank them for all they bring to your life 💙🐾

As another week begins, let us look to our precious pups for inspiration and guidance.

Let them remind us to stop and smell the flowers, cherish the ordinary moments and be grateful for each day.

Even in the midst of chaos and cruelty, there is joy to be found and good in our world 💙🐾

In a world full of cruelty, be kind.

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, is one of the most beautiful books that will make your heart smile.

Author Charles Mackesy has a new book coming out this month and I can't wait!

Have a beautiful and blessed weekend my friends 💙

I spent the last week visiting my Dad who's battling cancer. It's heartbreaking to watch your hero and the first love of your life slipping away 😢

'A Moment in Time' - my Dad at his favorite lake, playing fetch with his precious Lab.

Cherish the simple moments with those you love 💙🐾

Give thanks today for all the blessings in your life ~ most especially the precious pup(s) who wait for you at home!

Even if you work long hours, any pup would be happy to wait for your return home as opposed to being caged at a shelter. Please adopt a homeless pup 💙🐾

It's #elephantappreciationday 🐘💙

Sadly, due mainly to poaching and habitat loss, these magnificent creatures are in danger of disappearing from our world.

This week, 20% of the proceeds from my Ellie paintings will be donated to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Smooshing paint around, trying to capture the essence of this gentle soul

Dumped on death row, Daisy was terrified and shutdown

With love and patience, she blossomed into the most loving dog and loyal companion

Don't overlook the shy scared dogs, their love is a special gift 💙🐾

Today's lunch palette was a study of reds and yellows.

Curry chicken rice salad with dried cranberries (and scallions) along with fresh mango, grapes and pomegranate seeds.

Pomegranate seeds make me think of sparkling little gems!

During these chaotic times it's important to seek beauty 💛🧡

Tied to a chain for the first 8 years of his life, Otis was found with an embedded collar

He suffered cruel neglect and yet was the sweetest dog

After being rescued, Otis found his forever family who loved and cherished him

Otis was the epitome of resilience ~ he never lost hope 💙🐾

Our volunteer arrived from the shelter after picking up 2 senior dogs on death row and bringing them to Charleston

When this pup popped out of the car, my rescue cohort and I both said "who's that???"

She was not the senior black Lab we had agreed to save

See more in comments ... 💙🐾
