UPDATE!!! THEY HAVE FOUND A LOVING HOME, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SHARED THE POST!!! XOXO

Patricia Lero who is a Doggie DIva client, asked if I would post about possibly helping her and the family to find a loving home for her daughter's 2 dogs. Pat's daughter died from cancer on Monday and it has been devastating to leave behind her beloved fur babies.They are 7 year old spayed female sheepadoodles weighing 55-60 lbs. Both are current on vaccines. Annie has history of seizures but now well-controlled since starting phenobarbital in Feb. They have been inside dogs, would definitely need a fenced yard. They are super sweet, friendly, love attention and would do well with children and other dogs. It is important that they stay together as they are already starting to grieve for their human mama that loved them. It really breaks my heart to think of her hoping her babies are left behind, would be cared for and loved.

Please share with anyone that you think would love to have these girls join their family. You can crosspost and send me a private message if interested. Thank you XOXO

Paula and I did the ALS 60 mile ride in honor of my brother Ronnie who died last year from ALS. I have done 17 MS150's and this was the hardest ride I have done. From our starting point in Wimberly, it was climbing like I have never done! Strava and Garmin showed that we climbed our highest on a ride so far, coming in at 3,451 ft...that 2 1/2 Empire State Buildings! For us flatlanders, that is a big climb! Many on the 60 mile route decided to take the shorter route back at the split and I really couldn't blame them. We were the last ones to come in as we took a different way back since the route markers had been taken up early and a SAG angel named Alex found us and was our es**rt the last 12 miles to the finish.
The spirit that resides inside the human suit can do things beyond the point of endurance when connected to the higher power and that power from above gave me the energy to keep going, my ride partner Paula Andries Gray and I have been through thousands of miles together over the last 13 plus years and I imagine we will ride a few thousand more before it is all over!
Thank you to those generous friends and family who donated to this cause, the money we all raised will go to help fund wheelchairs, ramps, in home care when needed and of course research!
Thank you from the depth of soul for supporting the most important ride I have ever done! XOXO

A friend sent this to me so I could share with other dog owners.

Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser.
Saturday night I got home late and my pittie didn’t recognize me.
At first, I thought I had just startled him awake. I’ve worked with kids for years, and I’ve seen night terrors before—confusion, fear, that distant, glassy look. That’s exactly what it felt like. I brushed it off, thinking he’d snap out of it.
But by Sunday morning, something was still wrong.
He wasn’t himself.
Quiet. Disoriented. Withdrawn.
Not my normally goofy, affectionate, velcro-dog who follows me everywhere.
Then it hit me.
I had been running a brand-new essential oil diffuser almost nonstop. I turned it off immediately. By Sunday afternoon, he seemed a little better, and I hoped—so badly—that it was over.
It wasn’t.
On Monday, while I was at work, my dog sitter called and said my pittie wouldn’t come out from under the bed. Anyone who knows him knows how alarming that is. He loves people. He lives for attention. Hiding is not who he is.
My gut dropped.
I left work early and rushed home. The moment I saw him, my heart broke.
He looked at me like I was a stranger.
Confused. Afraid. Lost.
I rushed him to the emergency vet.
After exams, bloodwork, and a call to Pet Poison Control, we finally had an answer: tea tree oil toxicity. The essential oil I had been diffusing—thinking it was harmless—was slowly poisoning my dog.
His liver values were thankfully still okay, but we weren’t out of danger. He was given subcutaneous fluids to help flush the toxins from his system, and we monitored him closely.
What shook me the most?
Both the vet and poison control said they’re seeing more and more cases like this as essential oils become popular in homes.
I had no idea.
I truly believed I was creating a calm, healthy environment—while unknowingly putting my best friend at risk.
I’m sharing this because I don’t want anyone else to learn the hard way like I did.
Please, if you have pets—especially dogs—research every essential oil before using it. Many oils that are safe for humans can be extremely toxic to animals, even when diffused.
I’m incredibly grateful my pittie is on the road to recovery.
If this story helps even one pet parent avoid the same scare, it’s worth telling.
🐾 Hug your dogs a little tighter tonight—and please, double-check what’s in your diffuser.
