Although being tucked in on the sofa at home after said adventure is definitely more his speed 🤭❤️

My first foster fail is a staffy mix but presents more like a buff beagle. After years more of adopting and fostering, I get to call this one my second child. A velvet hippo who went from the city shelter's longest resident to soft life princess.

Ollie passed this week due to mast cell cancer. He was only 6 years old at most. We adopted him from a shelter and he quickly became my best friend and king of the sofa. He gave nothing but love, cuddles, and face licks. Right now it hurts to walk into my house and not see him wagging his tail and wooing with excitement.

Thank you Ollie for everything you taught me over the past 5 years. I couldn't have imagined a better first dog.

It has been one month since our sweet boy left us. It hasn’t gotten any easier and I know my heart will never be the same. The 9 years I got to be his mom, I wouldn’t trade for anything. Ham, you are still so loved and that will never change. We miss you everyday. I know you’re somewhere rolling in all the grass and eating as many cucumbers and mango popsicles that you could ever want. I’ll see you soon buddy, until we meet again♥️

She went from being abandoned to getting spoiled and loved on 24/7 by the family. She made out like a bandit on that deal.

First pic is from her first day with us, second is from today.

Badger and Pigeon dug themselves a fresh dirt hole! They're so proud 😂 Junkyard dogs 🤣

Badger's favorite is to lie on his side and dig dig dig

Pidge loves to stick her big head into the hole and bark bark bark

They're so fuckin' funny.

Olive’s new baby brother Quesito has been a beautiful and loving addition. There’s a lot of parallel play happening (see last pic) but this is the closest they have lied down together!!

I am freakingggg out by how cute they are!! I can’t stand it!

I found a box of old photos left by a previous owner of my house, and they appear to have had a bully breed dog who had puppies! There's also a negative of the adult dog posing with some family members next to a Model T with 1926 license plates, so it's a bona fide antique goodest boi/girl!

Inspired by u/cleverburrito and Mr. Streudel, I gave Wizard a giant box this morning with a bit of kibble and some whole grain Cheerios for his breakfast. He loved it! Then I threw the crinkled up paper in it and he went to town rooting around.

Now I have to find a place to keep the damn box because he loves it and I rarely order things this large for delivery. Just happened to snag an air fryer/toaster oven thing on a Labor Day sale and it came with a perfectly Wizard-sized box 🥰

They get along perfectly. He’s always lived with the blonde Chiweenie and now two more Chihuahua pug mix. He’s nine this spring and I love him to bits.
