And just like that, Charlie has lost interest in the salmon, rice, and veggie mix he'd been devouring instead of the kibble he's been off and on about for months. Time to find a new dog food recipe. Again.

@bjeel51 what a cutie! Thank you for giving him a home. ❤️ This is my #RescueDog, Roxie. She’s an #OlderDog. Before we adopted her in 2021, she was adopted out and returned to the shelter at least twice because of her seizures and severe environmental allergies. (Her allergies and seizures have been under control for almost a year now.)

Put a bunch of old towels down. Took Shila out for her morning bathroom break & quick run in backyard. She got all wet from the snow & freezing rain. Drying off. Tea & coffee are brewed. I'm getting a cup of hot tea.

Was not expecting this. Was enjoying Ben enjoying his excellent day & was feeling really up

I hate having my picture taken. It's why I always have a camera to hide behind

On whim, I passed the phone to a friend and told him to just take lots of shots while we interact. Try to keep the interaction in the middle if you can. Then just hit that shutter button fast as phone will take it

Got this

This is Ben!
This is also Kris!
In one picture!

Halfway through Ben's Most Excellent Day (Yet)

I'm not sure he's going to be awake for the second half!

But it's going to blow his mind!

👍🥳👍🥳👍🎉👍🥳👍🥳

I would like to really express my appreciation all of you are showing for the recent/old Ben pics! Really, really thank you!

Ben is an #OlderDog who has been #TriPawd all his life. He's my wingman

But it's going to be tomorrow, next week, next month 🤷

It's all about quality of life, and I'm spending mine making his the best

I also have to update this page. At some point when I can

You're helping me gather the material

Esp. @dogsofmastodon with the Boosts!

Ben finally got to meet Nico!

Ben has been so eager for this. Nico has been in isolation because he was still getting shots but Ben *knew* he was over there.

Dog 😘s

The fact that my father and I were estranged for *many* years should give you an idea of how rare a statement like that is

When my father passed, i re-rescured Ben at the age of 6. He's now 14

If you read it, *I* think you'll enjoy it

I was going to toot something about Ben and his back story. I was doing something and came across this link

I had another link to a news article but it was possibly disturbing to some. But I really wanted to tell the story

Originally had a CW but I took it off. It's a delightful sequence detailing the early days of Ben's adoption by my father and how Ben was growing and adjusting

Ben breakdancing in the snow...

Not bad for 14YO!

The only problem is I can't tell the difference between the Dog Worm and him not being able to get up by himself. 😄
