Be who you need(ed). Seeker. Sailor. As seen while walking the dog… all photos are by me. Coast Salish Territory.
I don’t know which Rosie finds most mortifying, her 🦞 costume or me as a 🐻

From first glimpse after her 24 hour transport to this morning’s ridiculous parrot snuggle, I’m so glad I adopted this little money pit :)

Honest response to “DO NOT EAT the GD 🐇 POOP!” What’s truly awesome is that she is confident enough now to be a little defiant and not terrified when I yell across the yard. #pitbull #dog #summervibes #damagedpitbullremediation

You can see Rosie-shark’s first broken canine - the other 3 big choppers will also break off - legacy damage from before her rescue. All 4 have to be pulled & I’m thinking implants. I hear adamantium isn’t available so maybe titanium. #adoptdontshop #dog #pitbull #damagedpitbullremediation

Little Baby Rose has been absolutely rocking the full-day daycare experience! She is learning how to meet the full range of doggy personalities, and how to navigate those meetings without conflict. I am so proud of her.

Day 2 of 4 and she’s wiped! The trainer said Rosie worked super hard today.
#adoptdontshop #rescue #train #love #pitbull #dogs
Who’s a good dog? Rosie! Rosie is! (I know I’m biased, so it feels good when actual trainers tell me how sweet & smart my dog is)
This training builds on what we’ve been doing & moves Rose 1 step closer to the skills & confidence she needs to be a happy dog in public. #dogs #adoptdontshop #rescue
Happy Canadian National Indigenous History Month and Happy International Pride Month!

White and caramel pitbull sleeping on her owner who is sitting in a reclining chair. Short white dog hair sprinkled on black and grey clothes.
It’s a rainy spring Saturday and although we could be hiking in the rain, today is about cuddles, xxl hoodies, and movies. #adoptdontshop #pitbull #dog

Rosie had an hour long intake assessment at a training kennel today. She did great considering she was feral 8 months ago. She’s not ready for their pack so we’re going to do a series of training sessions to see what it will take to get her there. #pitbull #adoptdontshop #dog 🐶 #shessopretty

Young caramel and white pitbull passed out on a grey sofa on a Sunday afternoon after anxiety meds and her rabies vaccination.
Anxiety meds + rabies vaccination = zzzz She let the vet pet her for the first time!
Funny story - tech asked if she was here for worming. Nope, just the vaccine. Vet laughed at her. Only noticed at home all the grass sticking out of her bum 🙄🐶

As seen while walking the dog - amidst the strawberries, seeds of my favourite tree chewōlhp (Halq'eméylem) Populus trichocarpa (Latin) Black Cottonwood (English) a vitally important species, the smell & sound of its desiccated leaves as they rattle in an August breeze is medicine to me #photography

As seen while watering the plants - a Baby Rose with no fear of a hose! Or vacuums! Or fireworks! She remains afraid of humans but added 1 more into her circle of trust today. 52 days until her 2nd bday - hoping for two more before then! #adoptdontshop #pitbull #dog #feral #rescue

As seen while walking the dog - progress!!! Today we made it not only into Home Depot but 1/4 of the way down an aisle!!! In her not-so-stupid vest. Now we’re listening to Childish Gambino and hanging out in the parking lot so she can people watch 🤷🏻♀️ #adoptdontshop #pitbull #dogs #NoRegrets

A young rescued pitbull wearing her first and hopefully last boundaries safety vest that says “No touch, No talk, and No eye contact to let the general public know how to interact with her to make it easier and safer for me to continue her training and enjoying dog friendly spaces like Home Depot and pet stores and sidewalks
As seen while prepping the dog for more life - Rose has been so good & shown big improvement in her socialization. But it’s a long road to heal a puppy from abuse & neglect. Her new vest is intended to protect her, me & anyone who needs to see boundaries in writing - she’s fearful, not aggressive.

As seen while not walking the dog - the LIP OF JEALOUSY™️ is activated whenever I pet another dog #pitbull #adoptdontshop #grubbydog is so grubby because I lost my keys for a full nauseating oh-shit-it-was-garbage-day-what-if-they-were-thrown-out hour so we had to cancel our appointment.

Got my pathfinder detailed today. Either I had forgotten or just didn’t know my that it had a 3rd row of seats, so here I am all 🤷🏻♀️. I’d bought the SUV so big dog Gio would be comfortable as he aged & it was perfect for him through his last days. Anywhoo, V&C Auto Detailing did a great job lol

A very pretty white and caramel pitbull cross dog wearing a bright yellow rain jacket and pink leash, standing in melting snow, legs and belly covered in flecks of mud.
That same very pretty white and caramel pitbull cross dog laying in her person’s bed, head on a pillow, facing away from the camera, looking out a window.
As seen while walking the dog - as the first-time person of a white-bellied velociraptor, I’m noticing even training walks result in muddy legs. My last dog was a dark brown brindle that didn’t show dirt. He too slept on my bed with his head on a pillow #dogs #adoptdontshop #thatswhattowelsarefor

As seen while walking the dog - a concrete (see what I did there) example of how diversity elevates even the ugliest of spaces. Local people invest their time and money in these crosswalks; I appreciate knowing what they value instead of what they hate. #iPhonePhotography #Photography #SmallTown
