Understanding Fido

A certain Fido had a VERY successful Socialization Stay here at Camp Elvis this morning! 🥰

When you're at the park for 1 Fido, see a happy human/dog combo w/a perfectly loose leash & realize it's another Fido? the BEST!😍

Step 1? For the human to embrace that the leash is a seat belt not a steering wheel. Also Step 1? For the human to commit to being interesting/reliable/reinforcing enough for their dog to remember that said human is still on the planet with them. Additionally Step 1? Understanding that this doesn't happen overnight... but it can START right now. ❤️ReinforceYourDog❤️

The Little Brown Dog is a great gift-picker-out-er. 🥰
Beagle Bean Company & The Hungry Hound have some really fun stuff AND they support their animal rescue partners with a portion of their proceeds through regular promotions. In case you need LBD to be your personal shopper, she's on board...

Community sessions have so many benefits! Added bonus? It can be a way for Fidos---whose humans want to join The Fido Family but live outside our service area---to do some in-person work together. Cooler morning temps and EXCELLENT puppy progress at the park these past couple weeks! ☺

Dear Fido Family, plz allow me to introduce you to Pet Lifeline Alliance
This new organization was founded by two incredible, dedicated, roll-up-your-sleeves and walk-the-walk women who are long-time volunteers at my local county shelter. These ladies don't curse the darkness, they light candles all over animal welfare! Please take a moment to read about their efforts, follow their page, and prepare to be impressed by all that I know they will accomplish. ❤

A certain Fido spent a little time here at Camp Elvis this morning, practicing being away from home and away from Mom... but in a familiar place with a trusted human (and trusted Little Brown Dog). Dogs, like us, are all individuals who navigate this big ol' world differently. One size does not fit all. (Excellent office assistant, highly recommend 🥰)

My family's 1/1/26 Resolution that we are STILL doing in August? Buy ONE thing for our local food pantry EVERY time we shop for ourselves. EVERY TIME. A BOGO can of veggies, an 80-cent can of cat food, a $5.00 box of cereal bars, a $1.50 can of dog food. SOMETHING! The brown paper bag in the pantry fills up and a drop-off happens. Repeat, repeat, repeat. We don't wait for food drives or desperate pleas on SM. We just made it a habit.
If people cannot feed themselves, they cannot feed their animals. If they cannot feed their animals, the shelter may find itself with a new resident. This new resident may or may not ever find a new home.
Who's in for making a New Year's Resolution in August?!
Fair Warning: it may end up bringing you a lot of unexpected joy.❤
