I finally have everything I could possibly want out of life.

It finally happened; after years of trying, my baby girl was finally born this month.

Over the past 15 years I’ve suffered job loss, marital problems, depression, etc. Some big highs and some really low lows. But today I’m celebrating. This has been worth every single minute of pain and despair to finally get to this point.

I swam some laps in the pool and crushed a couple light beers in the hot tub while I cooked dinner tonight.

It gets better, boys. It really does.

My girl dog absolutely adores this toy and she has kept it in mostly good shape over the years. We have been keeping it away from our puppy, but he managed to find his way to it and he tore it just enough that I can no longer read the tag. The letters still visible on the tag are “-EW GU-“ I believe it was CHEW something but I can’t remember.

I’d love to find the toy and buy like 3-5 extra to make sure we have her fully stocked. I have no idea where we originally got it from. Any help is appreciated.

Heidi stopped by the Friends Bookstore to buy a few books for the shelves of a friend’s new home.

About 400 hardcovers later, Dani was helping load a Cybertruck.

We’re not saying Heidi bought all the books...

...but the shelves are feeling noticeably lighter!

Our small independent rescue is completely full and overwhelmed right now. We cannot continue taking in more cats or properly support the emergencies coming our way unless some of our current foster cats finally find homes.

At this moment, we have 5 real emergencies waiting for help that we are unable to take in because we simply have no space left.

Some of the cats currently with us are hiding constantly, being bullied by other cats, or living in extreme stress from overcrowding. They deserve real homes, stability, and peace.

We are begging anyone considering adopting a cat to please consider one of ours.

🖤 Lola — affectionate little shadow hiding in nightstands because she’s scared.

🐯 Shishi — sweet peaceful boy constantly getting bullied by other male cats.

🌸 Brigette — tiny shy girl hiding behind washers/dryers because she feels overwhelmed.

🤎 Dixie — calm older soul overlooked for OVER A YEAR.

🌙 Kawzim & Zuzu — soft sweet duo who desperately need a calm environment to thrive.

All cats are fixed, vaccinated, flea treated, and incredibly loving.

We also have MORE cats not pictured here. The good news is you can meet multiple cats and we can send many more photos/videos to help you find the right cat.

Please comment or DM if interested in adopting or fostering urgently.

Visited OC Animal Care yesterday and the shelter was loaded with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. So many sweet furry friends just waiting for a new home. The energy a new pet brings into the house can be so enriching. Please consider adding a new family member to your home if possible. Also consider visiting, even if you are not planning on adopting, the animals would love the attention!
