I think I love you. TWO rescues, two rounds of diarrhea, and downward dog for your own runs! That’s a lot of dogs :-) Thank you for the hilarious reminder. Now let me return the favor - the ripple of love you just started is spreading and you are about to receive a wave of grateful laughter and appreciation in return. HUGS!

P.S. Any updates on the Great Wall?

Thanks for 2 heroes named Mo and Alex, they are lovely people, I've "known" them for years on social media, even knit them a couple hats! I think they are angels on this earth and who said anything about it's easy getting your halo's or wings? It should be-Instead of "Every time a bell ring, an angel gets its wings-Every time a dog poops..." (fill in here)

You are amazing Mo, a teacher, an activist, an actor, but most of all a beautiful human who has made a beautiful world for your doggies and an example for us all. xoxo

Ps-How is Toodles doing w/all this?

Thank you, Julie. Toodles is scarce! Outside a lot, but we do have our bedroom reserved for him ❤️

As someone who has done dog rescue, you and Alex are saints. But also, as someone who has done dog rescue, is married to an asthmatic wife, and raised three asthmatic children, pull up the damn carpet.

😂 if it continues, yes! 3 accidents caught before they soaked in. Fingers crossed as it has been 3 days since any accidents. 🤞🏻

I like the rich and sometimes quirkiness of this write. And I am a big animal lover, so I resonate with the topic.

Walter is a SAINT. (And so are you and Alex.) Beanie does test.

Every post, I think what you write and how you write it couldn't make me happier, then a new one comes along and boom! It is clear I am incorrect! Love this story with all my heart.

We love you and I am glad you came to yoga (I didn't want to be there either and I live there:)). We are here to hug and support you. It will get better and you and Alex will navigate this challenge beautifully together.

A woman after my own heart! We're a rescue family as well. Right now we've got 4 foster failures..I can relate.. I hope Walter will decide he likes the new kid on the block...We've got issues with raccoons as well!! We have a family of at least 5 who've taken up residence in our cypresses. Honestly it feels as if raccoons and ankle biter mosquitos are taking over LA!

We’ve been rescuing senior dogs (and cats) one at a time. It won’t change the world, but it will change the life of at least one being.

I wholeheartedly agree that laws need to be passed/enforced about animal breeding. Thanks for putting the message out there. Good luck with the diarrhea.

Good luck with the doggos. I am so thankful for people like you who adopts rather than shop.

I cannot stand thinking about puppy mills
