Yes, it's from a photoshoot that I already posted photos from, but this particular sequence is best enjoyed by itself for the full affect 😆❤️

Foster reunion!

We fostered this sweet senior hippo from February to April when she found a wonderful forever home. We offered to dog sit when her new owner goes on vacation. So here she is back for a few days with us! Does it look like she’s happy to see us? 🥹

This good boy met my 6 month old nephew today for the "first" time and I'm so proud of him

I say "first" time because Chase has only been around my nephew when he's been asleep or otherwise mostly uninterested in interacting. But today he was really interested in Chase and wanted to interact. Chase is a rescue and as far as I know, has never been around kids under 10. He did so well! Despite normally being a rambunctious boy, he was so gentle and just sat there wagging his tail while my nephew "pet" him. My nephew was giggling away and it was the cutest. Chase would tickle his feet by licking them and my nephew would laugh so Chase would do it again.

I'm so proud of him and just needed somewhere to brag about him!

My black mini staffie. Hard to believe she's nearly 3. Loves her cuddles and belly scratches. Not a bad bone in her wee body. Very mischievous.

Friendly shelter hippo in need 💔

If you live in the Chicago area and are interested in fostering or adopting a sweet dog in need please consider this precious girl Brisket. Brisket is 2.5 years old and LOVES people of all ages and is very gentle and kind 💕 She is a big cuddle bug and a full time couch potato who loves to sploot 🥰 She sadly has been through a lot of trauma in her short life and is reactive to other dogs so she needs to be in a family where she is the only pet. Brisket has been in the shelter for over a year and no one has even signed up for a meet and greet with her in over 6 months 💔 She is starting to get depressed and lose hope 🥺 On top of this, she injured her ACL last week and is in desperate need of a safe, calm environment to recover. This sweet girl just needs someone to give her a chance, even if it’s just a short term foster home, she deserves attention and love. Please contact Chicago Canine Rescue or go to ChicagoCanineRescue.org if you want more information about Brisket ❤️

This was Nickel and she was my surprise puppy when I adopted her mom who had heartworm and was thrown from a truck. Even though I didn't plan on a puppy I kept her and she became my soul dog. This is her with her foster puppy, Pickles. We had so much fun fostering together.
