    I happened to see this pop up in my feed and I have to watch so I never take her for granted.
    You'll be happy to know that this week commemorates 3 months that she's been with us. It's a wild ride. She is no longer the little toughie desperate street dog. She finally got full. Lol. Now she is a lady of leisure and sophistication. She eats carefully now and will walk away from food if she's had enough. And she now understands that ladies of refinement accept food in a gentle manner. 😊 On the flipside, she looooves playing in water and is a big tomboy digging in the dirt even though mommie says that's a nono. She still prefers outside to inside, even if it's 100 degrees. Lil miss is often sunning herself eating her favorite bone. I still don't have her exact weight. The vet's scale was broken!!! I am guessing she is about 60ish pounds. She's basically double the size she is here in this video. She continues to improve on her training every day (& mom too!). She is the sweetest, intelligent, has a big sense of humor and still loves her meals even if she leaves some for later. She is quirky as all get out in the best possible way. She is afraid of the water hose even though she dunks in the pool. She is even afraid of towels. Bathtime will be real soon. And you know she will make sure I get my fair share of wet. 😂 Mel what's your secret? You're the best❤ She still works the whine. She's a bigtime daddy's girl (jealous!) And she uses that whine and he just melts. She is my shadow too. Girl power! We just love her so darn much I can't stand it. I can never thank you all enough for taking exemplary care of my sweet girl. Massive group effort I know. We've been blessed by you all. ❤❤❤

      P.S. The Dog Mom Guilt is real. She is never far from my mind. I worry over her all the time. I worry I'm not doing enough, or doing things right, how can I make sure she stays happy and healthy, and I worry that she won't gain all her confidence that she deserves to have. Once she feels 100% confident in her self and in us, there will be no stopping her. I can't wait to see that. But I worry. She gives me those sad puppy dog eyes. The girl knows how to work with what she's got! I cannot resist. Dad is no better. Lol. She's a clever, sneaky girl. ❤ does anyone else have mom dog guilt?

      What a sweet Pupdate II, the sequel! :) I do dog walking and child care, and unless there's reason to suspect maltreatment, of course, I always say to parents that that guilt isn't necessarily a sign you're doing something wrong, it's probably a sign that you're the most invested person in their life, thus, well qualified. Thanks for providing her the happy ending we all craved.

    I adopted an emancipated Pug. He was found wandering on the streets and brought to the local shelter by a Good Samaritan where a rescue picked him up. He was chipped, but when they tried to contact the owner, they found out she had passed away almost a month earlier. Her relatives didn’t want him, so I got lucky and he’s part of my family now.

Now, thanks to the Emotional Support Animal law (and 20 years in the military), I can adopt a small dog to join me in my very small, one bedroom apartment. I have just enough room for a little buddy willing to watch my six.

We were going to adopt a kitten but absolutely couldn't leave him, so we got a kitten. And him, lol. Best decision! We weren't sure how long he would live, but he had the biggest turn around out of the shelter and with the kitten that he lived and thrived for another FOURTEEN years and almost outlived the kitten lol.

    I believe that sometimes an animal fights to hold on just long enough to have a peaceful goodbye. They don’t want to die alone and starving and scared, but once they get to that safe and loving place and they know they can’t win the big fight, they peacefully let go. And as sad as it is, I think sometimes the greatest gift we can give to is tell a suffering animal *“It’s ok, we love you, you did so good. If you need to let go, it’s ok. You are safe, you are loved, and you can rest now.”*

And Valerie…I just had high hopes that she would make it out and into a loving home but you are absolutely right in saying that she did live long enough to feel loved and cared for. After our black lab of 14 years passed, we cried every day for a week before running to the rescue and we found our Chow/German Shepherd mix in a similar state. It just hit our hearts and brought her home. She was found in the desert, emaciated, with 8 puppies. Her owner was found but turns out she was no longer wanted when she got pregnant. When we love an animal, it is for life. I truly respect what you do and how big your heart is. What you do is truly a big deal. Thankful to find this channel.

    There needs to be a worldwide public education program on how to care for pets, they are a responsibility, and to turn them over if you cannot feed the or feel you will hurt them. It’s so wrong to let them go through this. ❤

But I sure can love them from afar right now until medical science meets me halfway LOL.

    What a great ending for Macy's story. And I was really pulling for Valerie, she was so sweet and gentle. She ended her life with a full belly, warm/dry, and experiencing love. That's what a dog can only hope for in life. Nice to hear Arthur got to be reunited with his humans. He's a GOOD boy. God bless you, Rocky, Kelly, and Alexa.

    My female GSD is 100 lbs. Undoubtedly a tad overweight, but to see this poor sweet girl a total skeleton turned the tear factory on full blast. What monster did this to her??? I hope she goes to a good home and that she doesn't have kidney or other organ complications from such malnourishment 🤞 She is SO sweet. Crying in your lap, telling you her heartbreaking story. They're so vocal to begin with, she definitely has a LOT to say. What a friendly sweet girl. Hope you can find her the right person to help her heal and give her a well deserved forever home💔

    I adopted a 3 yr old dog that came up from South Carolina. He was part of a police raid on a house. The owner went to jail. His THREE dogs went to a HUGE 4000 dogs a year shelter! What I learned is that they didn't know how to play with other dogs. I got one of them. He likes to run and play with me... chill around the house with people... but is quite selective with other dogs and otherwise doesn't even know how to play! He's friendly enough and indifferent. I LOVE him! My Richie! Macy/Lucy reminds me so much of my Richie!

      Sounds like a wonderful guy. Definitely having to teach what everything is, every noise, what's behind every door (everytime it opens), how to play and have fun. That's half the joy is seeing her explore and react to various things and people.

    My Chi owns our home...and everything he sees. He believed me that first day when I said, "This is all yours, your home forever. Come in."
    A rescue so abused and fearful for his first 5 years even after 5 years of peace and being adored he still reacts to sudden loud or metallic noise. If only I knew everything he suffered. But he doesn't shake anymore or fall on his back in surrender, seeming to wait for punishment. When I tell him no I always pet him and tell him I love him. He gets it. He's the best behaved Dog I've ever known. I made him a sanctuary and he will go there many times to look out his window or nap. He's 10 years now and the best boy ever❤

    So beautiful to see Macy/Lucy and Sherri 💜 I truly believe there’s a sort of soulmate connection between certain animals and humans, and somehow fate finds a way to bring them together. I’ve been blessed enough to find my soul-cat, I went into the shelter with a solid idea in mind of what I was looking for… but then I met eyes with my girl and knew immediately that I was her mummy. She wasn’t what I thought I was looking for, and there were logical reasons why she wouldn’t be the right pick, but I knew in my heart that I belonged to her and we’ve enriched each other’s life so much 💜

    I had the smallest involvement last week in transferring almost 100 dogs from a terrible " rescue" hording then abandonment situation in Honduras. It was a heroic feat and almost a year in the making by selfless determined volunteers who assisted over 500 animals from a life of suffering. Long story short, I spoke very highly of your channel and thought a lot about all you have taught ,while interacting with these sweet souls. Good news , they made it to the States and many are adopted or in foster situations, but like you say the best of life is still to come for these pups, the hardest part is over for them now. Thanks for all you and your team do🎉 you are an inspiration!

    Oh, and I immediately thought Arthur was a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix-- big, handsome, and those Rottie eyes that convey his teddy bear spirit.
    Amazing stories. Thanks!
