Latest Penny Update today from her mom reads .. "She's just one of the pack now."

Safe to say that sweet baby Penny is HOME. 🥹

thanks for cheering her on, guys. 🫶🏽

Johnny is gaining confidence with every passing day.

It's been 2 months since Paris left and slowly, but surely, life is beginning to balance itself. ❤️‍🩹

When I took Penny Paris Fawn in for her shots a couple of weeks ago, we ended up fitting her in for her spay too.

Very last minute, but it made sense to get it done.

When I was putting her in a kennel in our clinic to wait her turn for surgery, our vet's tech came out and said, "Omg, who is this?!"

I told her about our fostering journey with Penny and how we were hopeful that our nervous Johnny would come around, but the jury was still out.

She said, "If you guys decide it isn't a good fit, please call me first."

And I promised I would.

Just about two weeks later, I made that call.

We finally admitted that it wasn't the right time.

I finally admitted Penny was quick decision and a bandaid for the loss I didn't want to face in losing Paris & my Aunt Janice.

And it wasn't fair to Penny.

A few days later, Penny made the leap into Lydia's home with her dogs. And it was a solid match from the start. 🥹

Penny is a baby so she has alot to learn, but bigger than that, she has so much JOY to share! We miss her terribly, but Lydia has been so generous with updates and we KNOW she is safe, loved & supported. 🥹

If hadn't squeezed her in for surgery, Lydia never would have met her .. but here we are. And sweet baby Penny is thriving with so many new big brothers. 🥰

We love you forever, Pen Pen. ❤️‍🩹🫶🏽

Hiiiiiiii 🫶🏽

Life has been .. a lot lately & I'm just now sort of catching my breath.

Miss y'all so I wanted to tell you that & give some updates 🤍

The loss of Paris has brought us immense sadness and also bittersweet moments of renewal. Friends surprising us with incredible kindness and a new love in the shape of a chiweenie who we have named Penny (well, Penny Paris Fawn .. more on that soon).

Shortly after Paris passed, my Auntie died. I spent a few weeks with both of my Aunties (one dying and one hosting her caretaking in her home). I still don't have all the words for it all, but I will say that it was beautiful & awful & full of .. everything.

As life has flipped & moved, so has some of my professional attention. I've recently accepted an offer with Humane Society of Blue Ridge to manage their organizational marketing efforts.

This felt like a logical next step within animal welfare & I'm curious how far we can cast a ripple from this sleepy mountain town of ours.

I also made a pivot late last year and started a media marketing company and Grumpy Old Men Brewing became a client.

Ambs is KILLING it in her retirement & running point on building our dream house. She's so talented and I'm continuously in awe of her. 🥹 Excited to show you guys more on this as Spring arrives more everyday here. 🌸

The Ramblin' print shop is still in progress, but fell to the back burner for all the reasons lol. Hoping to be in there pulling ink & hosting shelter dogs by summer 🤞

So, for now, we created a F**K ICE design and the timing felt right to release it .. it's in our online shop now on tees and crops. Proceeds will benefit in Minneapolis for their efforts supporting the animals left behind by those detained & deported by ICE.

If you want it printed on more stuff, say the word.

I love you guys & would love to know how you are?
