Davey needed a temp foster from my friend/his foster mom Carrie. So here he is! Davey is available to adopt through Grateful Dogs Rescue He’s 7 yrs & 7 lbs.

our friend Augie is welcomed by many of his small club friends on the other side... Danny is mixing him an old-fashioned at the Pot O Gold Bar at the end of the rainbow, and they are all raising a glass together. To Augie!! Love is forever.

Yes, it is harder (at first). No, it’s not excusing behavior. Remove negative labels from your dog, it’s worth it! #compassion #understanding #humananimalbond #dogsarepeopletoo This is because when we label something, we close a door of understanding. We are telling the animal that we don't care what their reason is for their behavior. We stop listening. We give ourselves a false sense of explanation when really we have no understanding of why.... We as humans, do this when we run out of information. Our dog doesn't do the behavior we ask and we call them stubborn. A dog lunges at another dog and we label them aggressive. We call our dog and when they run the other way, we call them willful, or stupid. But a dog is none of these things. A dog is a living, breathing, thinking and feeling creature. Deeply connected to it's own perspectives and experiences. To quote Dr. Susan Friedman "Behavior is not who you are - it is what you do."

i’m told you were the best for everyone who’s had the honor of saying goodbye to the best dog ever... xo art by See Bang
