Did you take that smashing photo, Josie? Every time I see it, it makes me smile…

The pop-up adoption space has been one of the best Muttville things EVER!! I know it’s a ton of work, so woof-woof-woof of thanks to all of you volunteers who have signed up for a few more weeks of making it possible.

A huge treat for humans and senior mutts alike!

I know it’s a cliché, but I mean it when I say I both laughed and cried when I saw this…

One of my FAVORITE THINGS about Muttville, ever!

Watch it, and forward it to all of your friends!

Yes- Definitely want to keep up with Beauty, that beautiful, scared soul. I’m sooooo glad to hear she’s starting to bond. Thank you, Jolene, for being Beauty’s new mom!!

Thank you so much, Nancy, for that wonderful, beautiful tribute to Your First Dog, and for reminding us all of the sweet impermanence of all things. I got to meet Herman one time- he was a funny bundle of love, and his terrific smile is one of my iconic images of All Things Muttville. Happy tears- Herman is on his way…

Is Myles a supermodel? If not, he certainly should be. Look at that million-dollar smile!!

Marie, the sweetness and generosity of your spirit shines through in your wonderful telling of the story of Collette. Some people, as well as some creatures, have more to tell us about the sweetness of life- and that is certainly true for the two of you.

I’m crying right now, but there’s quite a bit of gratitude in those tears for your story and being reminded of how important it is to stay present and enjoy the ones we love right here in the moment.

Thank you for sharing Collette’s story with all of us.

I’m thrilled to get update on Jimmy, that lovely love-muffin!! No surprise that he’s bringing even more love into the world by adopting a…gulp!...kitten.

When I first laid eyes on Lady, she broke my heart!!! She was the skinniest dog I had ever seen- you could count her ribs, the poor thing…

Although she was always starving for both food and for love, she was so quiet and gentle- she never asked for anything. It seemed like she only had a few months left- but that was more than a year ago!

I am so thrilled she found such a wonderful forever home and such a happy ending!!!

Holy Smokes!!! That’s a heck of a run for just a few days! Wonderful senior dogs settling into their forever homes- nothing is better than that…

Go, Smokey, go!! You’re a lucky boy!

May I just personally vouch for Little Smokey on the right there? He is a world-class snuggle-lover!! And when he gets his cast off, I know he’s going to have a lot of playtime in him too!

I’m so thrilled to get an update on Kenzie!! I washed her poor little sweet self when she first came in- I’m still traumatized by the size of the ticks I picked off of her…

But, all better now!!! Yay Kenzie!!!
