🐾 FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING ❤️

If you've been following Foxy's journey, you're going to LOVE this update!

Foxy weighed in today at an amazing 60.08 pounds! 🎉

When she came to me just over a month ago, she weighed only 42.6 pounds, was severely malnourished, injured, and simply trying to survive.

Today? Look at her GO! ❤️

She's running, playing tug-of-war with the pack, wrestling with Koda, retrieving her favorite balls, and even learning to go along on quad rides. And one of the biggest surprises—Foxy LOVES trail riding! 🐎🐾

That slow-motion ball jump in this video might be one of my favorite moments yet. Watching this girl get her strength, stamina, confidence, and personality back has been incredible.

She's not just gaining weight anymore...

She's gaining LIFE. ❤️

Every adventure, every game of tug, every ball she retrieves, and every new experience is helping Foxy learn that the world can be a safe and really fun place.

And the best part? She's doing it surrounded by her new pack and family.

Foxy still has more recovery ahead, but when I look at where she started and where she is today, I can't help but be incredibly proud of this girl.

42.6 lbs → 60.08 lbs
From surviving → THRIVING. ❤️🐾

Thank you to everyone who has followed, shared, donated, encouraged, and cheered Foxy on. You have all played a part in her incredible transformation.

And if you're new to Foxy's story, go back to Day 1. You won't believe the difference.

There are still more adventures ahead...so stay tuned! 👀🐾

I recently saw a post where someone had a trained Mustang available in our county, Bay, believe it was a DG. Can anyone share that info with me?

🌾🎄 IT’S LIKE CHRISTMAS DAY AROUND HERE! 🎄🌾

The hay is IN for the year! 🙌🏼🐴

There’s just something about seeing that beautiful stack of hay knowing the horses are set for the season. It’s a LOT of work getting it all hauled, stacked, and put away—but once it’s done… 😍 BEST. FEELING. EVER.

The horses may not understand why we’re so excited about giant piles of dried grass… but we sure do! 😂

A HUGE thank you to everyone who helps make hay day happen. It takes a village—and a whole lot of sweat—to get this much hay safely tucked away!

Now we can officially check “Feed the herd” off the list for another year. ✔️🐴

For those that ordered Hay, the Hay truck is coming tomorrow morning.

🐾 DAY 30 – FOXY IS HOME! 🐾

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS WEIGH-IN! 😍

After 9 days on the road traveling to Montana, I finally got to put Foxy on the scale today...

58.94 POUNDS!!! 🎉❤️

That's a total gain of 16.34 pounds since the day she came into my life at just 42.6 pounds!

And today marks 30 DAYS with Foxy.

We didn't have a scale with us in Montana, but we had plenty of ball throwing, stick collecting, playing with her buddy Koda, and LOTS of time riding in the truck. She handled the road trip like a champ and continues to show us more of her personality every day.

Watching this transformation has been incredible.

Thirty days ago, she was emaciated, injured, and barely surviving.

Today she's a happy, playful, curious dog who loves balls, carries sticks around, goes on road trips, makes friends, and has discovered that adventures are FUN! ❤️

She still has more healing ahead, but she is getting stronger every day.

Foxy will be scheduled for her spay and vaccinations in October, once we've completed this recovery journey and she is ready.

And none of this would have been possible without YOU.

To everyone who has followed Foxy's story, shared her posts, donated toward her recovery, sent messages, cheered her on, and celebrated every pound gained...

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

You have helped give this incredibly lucky girl something she may never have had before—a real chance at a healthy, happy life.

Are you still following Foxy's journey? Drop a ❤️ in the comments so I know you're here!

I'll have a few more Foxy adventures to share before I have to take a little break from posting while I'm away hunting. And trust me...

there is still plenty more to come! 👀🐾

It looks like I have space for 1.5 more blocks on the hay trailer. Direct message if you’re interested. 

08/19/2026

It’s HAY time! Delivery expected around August 24. It is forecast to be a super El Niño year so get your hay now!

Types of hay that are available:
Second cut Orchard

Alfalfa (fine stemmed)

Orchard/Alfalfa (10%)

Message me ASAP if you want hay and for price.

The first truck will be all of my hay - second truck will be hay for others, but if you say you want some you’ll have to put down a non refundable Deposit - I had people back out in the 11th hour last year, so no more of that! If you want hay please let me know asap. I have personally gone and looked at hay, all clean & high quality, from Fall River and Big Valley area. Delivery will be to Iron Horse in Mt Shasta, if you have a flat bed and want the hay squeezed into your trailer - you’ll have to be there at delivery or have trailer there at delivery.

🐾 FOXY'S BIG ADVENTURE! 🐾
Her first horse camping trip with the Altes Family Pack! ❤️

If you've been following Foxy's journey, you know that just a few weeks ago she was barely surviving. Now look at her!

Foxy just completed her FIRST road trip and horse camping adventure with the entire Altes Family Pack! 🐾🏕️❤️

She got to play in the water, lounge by the lake, retrieve sticks and—of course—her favorite balls! 🎾 She rode in the back seat crammed in with all the other dogs and experienced something that is becoming incredibly important to her:

Going somewhere doesn't mean she's going to be left behind.

I think she's finally beginning to understand that this is her life now. She gets to go places. She gets to have adventures. She gets to be part of the family. And she gets to come home. ❤️

She also gained 4 POUNDS during this trip! 🎉

I didn't have a scale with me, so I don't have today's exact weight, but with her continuing to eat 6 carefully prepared meals a day, you can see the difference in her body. She's slowly filling out, gaining strength, and—maybe most exciting of all—her stamina is increasing every day.

She's becoming stronger, more confident, more playful, and more curious about the world around her.

And there is something incredibly special about watching a dog who once had so little hope discover that life can actually be FUN. ❤️

This is only the beginning.

Foxy has ANOTHER road trip adventure coming up, and of course I'll be documenting that one too! 🚙🐾

I'll have a new weight update when we return home around the 21st, so stay tuned for another Foxy update next weekend!

Thank you to everyone who has followed her story, donated, shared her posts, encouraged us, and cheered her on. You have all become part of Foxy's village, and I am so grateful.

From 42.6 pounds and barely surviving...

to camping, swimming, playing ball, riding in the truck, and discovering that she isn't being left behind.

Foxy is learning what it means to live. ❤️🐾
