My new buddy: Gus. I saw him on a rescue website and just couldn't resist that cute face! At only 15 months old, he's still very puppy and every day he shows me two or three more ways that my house isn't puppy-proof. But we're having fun and he's very sweet and cuddly. <3
Best day ever when a friend discovered four of my books on a library shelf and texted a photo to me! <3
My boy, Dexter. I found him at a Rescue in September, 2023. He'd lost all his humans to car accidents, prison, and cancer. And then his Chihuahua buddy was adopted away from him, too! As soon as I learned his story, I HAD TO bring him home. He gets spoiled daily! <3
