This is Rita, she is a rescue and a potpourri of breeds and resulting colours.

Rare pictures of Scrappy-Doo calling the cutie police, worried they won’t answer

She’s so emotive and I love her so much!

My beautiful Maybeline.

She's such a great girl, the best girl..

Real good girl.

Very nervous and very much can't afford it but I've been boosting our gofundme. Regardless, here's her adorable little self.

She had caught this leaf flying in the wind and she acted like it was a piece of gold and didn't want to let it go!

I know my good-fortune and having Cooper in my life is a high-water mark- he and his brother Louie (not pictured) were picked up by the local dog catcher the day before i decided my aging Dane would love some company (spoiler: he did!). The two brothers loved my Diesel, but this one wouldn’t let anyone put on a collar or a leash. I used a trainer who helped me when i adopted Diesel, he had leash and dog-reactivity issues, too. After a month at home this stripey guy would not accept a leash much less a collar. My trainer (well-regarded) finally said, “I’m afraid he’s gone feral- i hate to say it, but you should consider rescinding him back to the shelter.”

I’m tearing up now as I write this 5 years later, but I spent the night with him on the floor and told him he had to shape up or he wouldn’t be able to live here (and away from his brother- I know what they say about bonded pairs, but I have a giant soft spot for them (and an equally wide lucky streak!)). The next morning he let me put a slip lead on, and by dinner he was sporting his handsome new collar!

I’ll post an album once I get all the pictures consolidated, I just couldn’t wait to share this one!

Living his best life
