Three good things today:

1.) Had a really pleasant job interview, with actual nice humans, for a non-tech job that's walking distance from home.

2.) Heard from an old colleague and planned a lunch catch-up.

3.) Celebrated #nationalrescuedogday with a nice rainy afternoon nap with my rescue dog.

A small terrier mix dozes on a couch, eyes half-closed, laying on her side with her head on a pillow.

I hear it's #nationalrescuedogday - so here's my Luna. She was brought to my local humane society from an overcrowded shelter down south, and has gone everywhere with me since. ❤️

It's a sunny summer day. A small brown and black terrier mix wearing a bright yellow life jacket looks out over the calm surface of a small lake from the seat of a boat. Her ears are perked up and alert.

This is Duke. At some point he got old, and slow, and gray around the muzzle. When I pointed this out to him, he just stared at me and said nothing. The goodest of Good Boys.

Happy National Dog Rescue Day! Here's Lena, our #rescue #GSD and my constant companion for the last 6 years. She carries emotional baggage from her rough start but is now living her best life. She may not be perfect, but she's perfect for us.

Photo shows a german shepherd dog siting majestically on a green lawn.

This is Timba. She’s Belgian Malinois, Husky, & Shar Pei. She & her brother had survived parvo, but their mama hadn’t. I met her in a PetCo parking lot one Sat morning when I was just trying to go to Marshalls. Instead of buying flip-flops, I ended up adopting a GIANT puppy. She loves Mr. Boots w/ the heat of a thousand suns, & they’re so precious together. ❤️ /end #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon

iPhone photo of a big taupe colored, short haired dog with a gray coat and a white patch on her chest is sitting prettily on the sofa, playfully sticking out her pink tongue. She’s wearing a purple collar, and she’s being extraordinarily adorable.

This is Teddi. She is part pibble, part German Shorthair, & part pug. When she’s super happy or excited, she gets Krazy Pug Eyes, & it is hilarious. She & I utterly adore one another, but I think she adores my son even more. If she had her way, she’d do nothing but eat & snuggle. Oh—& lick my knees. She loves to lick my knees. I don’t know why. ❤️ #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon +

iPhone photo of a medium sized liver brown dog with white markings sitting and being held still by my husband’s hands. She’s wearing a green elf hat with ears, and her eyes are big and round. She looks very silly. Colorful holiday decorations are visible in the background.

My two rescues
Shai who was about 6 when I adopted him from a shelter in MT (May 2013 - May 2019) and Sadie who was about 5 months when I found her in the NM desert (August 2019 - today)

As so many of us say - they rescued me in their own ways 💗💗

The image features a black dog with long, fluffy fur sitting indoors. The dog is looking upwards with its mouth slightly open, revealing its teeth and tongue. Its ears are perked up, and its eyes are focused on something above. The dog is wearing a collar, and its fur appears to be well-groomed. In the background, there is a wooden desk with a drawer, and a person is partially visible, sitting on a chair with their legs crossed. The person is wearing blue jeans and a dark-colored sweater. The lighting in the room is soft, with a warm tone, and the floor is tiled.

The image shows a dog standing in front of a mirror, looking at its reflection. The dog has a light brown coat with a white patch on its chest and is wearing a green harness and a black collar. The mirror is framed in white and is attached to a white door. The dog's tail is slightly raised, and it appears to be focused on the reflection. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, and the floor is green. The dog's reflection is clearly visible in the mirror, showing the same light brown coat and attentive expression.

We're a little late, but happy #NationalRescueDogDay from our adorable little rescue, Chouchou.

Small white-ish dog sitting on a pale grey bed, mouth open in a big smile as her red-ish tail splays behind her.

This is Toutou. She’d been at the shelter too long & wasn’t doing well, so they featured her on the local news one night. I was at the shelter when they opened the next morning. She’s about 10 now, neurotic af, insanely sweet & affectionate, & loves to be carried around like a baby. ❤️ #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon +

iPhone photo of a small terrier sitting up on a beige wool carpet, begging for cheese. She has big brown eyes, a short black and tan coat, a silver Mohawk, and wears a red collar. A cream colored doggie bed is visible in the background.

This is Tia Marie. She was 2 when I adopted her—she already had a name, so we kept it. She’s our oldest, & she’s very Yoda-like. A grand old dame to whom all the dogs defer. She has 2” long legs & loves vegetables. 🥰 #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon +

Is it really #NationalRescueDogDay?

Well, it’s time for a thread! All my bebes are shelter dogs. They are precious to me—I honestly don’t think I could love them more. They’re the GOODEST girls. #DogsOfMastodon +

Happy #NationalRescueDogDay from our rescue, Spice 🐶

An 11(?)-year-old whippet/lab mix, who is an all-around sweetheart. Got her about 6 years ago from South Carolina. Happy she joined our madhouse!

#NationalRescueDogDay

Even though our time together may be shorter because you were an adult already, even though you got off the couch after one shot, you don't know how you rescued me by being my rescue dog. Thank you and I love you, Kengo.
