A gentle girl, alone, forgotten. Some tossed her scraps of food now and then, but no one truly looked. No one noticed the pain in her tired eyes… We named her Roxy❤️ #dogsofbluesky #weratedogs #supportroxy

This is Nala. She should be chasing butterflies and wagging her tail at strangers, but she’s at the vet fighting to survive. We pulled her from the street, thin and covered in ticks. Tests confirmed Ehrlichiosis. Nala is fighting for her life. 💔 #dogsofbluesky #savenala #dogmom #dogs

It’s spreading.

Dozens of supporters including JWJ joined farm workers from @ufw.bsky.social and PCUN today for a human billboard in front of a busy intersection in Portland OR to show support for Windmill Farms' mushroom workers and tell supermarkets not to carry Windmill Mushrooms!

Vermont’s Republican Governor Phil Scott has REJECTED Trump's second request to send National Guard troops to Washington, D.C.

Grizzle is out of surgery and it went well 💛 He’s staying overnight so the vet can monitor him closely. I miss him already, but I know he’s in good hands. Thank you all for the kind wishes, love, and prayers they’ve meant the world today.Tomorrow, my boy comes home and we begin his road to recovery.

This morning I dropped Grizzle off for surgery after extra cuddles and his last zoomies for a while. He was scared, and leaving him broke my heart. Now it’s just waiting and hoping for the call that he’s okay. Please keep my brave boy in your thoughts today💛

It’s hard to believe, but tomorrow Grizzle goes in for surgery. Today we’re making it all about him extra snuggles, extra treats, and letting him run his little heart out one more time before the big day💛

Update❤️ Grizzle’s surgery is officially scheduled for Tuesday🥹 We had our appointment today and went over everything the procedure itself, how they’ll manage his pain, and what recovery will look like. It’s finally happening🥹

Huuuge update!!❤️ After a full month of fundraising, Grizzle's surgery is now fully funded! Thanks to your kindness, what once felt like a distant dream is now real. Whether you donated, shared, or sent love you're forever part of his journey. Grizzle is family🫶 #dogmom #dogsofbluesky

Just look at that face 🥹💛 Throwback to baby Grizzle already stealing hearts from day one✨ #dogsofbluesky #dogmom #pawrent

Same spot. Same door. Not quite today, but still me. 🥺 One photo when I was just 3 months old… and one from a while back, before the pain got worse. I haven’t felt like standing here lately, but I will again. I just need some help getting there. #dogsofbluesky #dogmom #Pawrent

I haven't been posting much lately, and I need to share why. I can't even believe I'm typing this, but my sweet Grizzle has been so sick, and we just got the devastating diagnosis dysplasia in both elbows. 💔 My heart is shattered. #dogmom #dogsofbluesky #Pawrent #savegrizzle

Nothing brings me more peace than moments like this✨Just me, Grizzle, and quiet little face rubs 💛 Hang in there, buddy we’re getting through this together. #dogmoms #pawrent #dogsofbluesky

Throwback to when he’d hear the treat bag crinkle but try to act chill about it🥹😍 #dogsofblueslk #pawrent #dogmom

UGHHHHHH this happens every single time he tries to eat lately😭 #dogsofbluesky #pawrent #dogmom

(1/4) Max was found with a metal chain embedded deep in his neck rusted, infected, and cutting into his skin. 💔 Despite everything, he’s still gentle, trusting, and full of love. #SaveMax #PridePaws #QueerCompassion

Grizzle’s Big Day 🎉🎂 Today, Grizzle turns TWO! He’s smart, cuddly, playful, and passionately dedicated to chasing lizards and balls. He also gives the kind of kisses you don’t ask for but secretly love. This year, he’s grown a lot. Grizzle is more confident, less scared of random objects. THREAD👇

Unpopular Opinion: Dog parks are less about socializing dogs and more about dog moms judging each other's training techniques. Am I wrong?🤔 #dogmom #dogsofbluesky #pawrent #Dogpark #Dogtraining

Sometimes I look at Grizzle sleeping peacefully and think… this dog has zero bills, 😅no job, and lives like a king. Teach me your ways, sir.😂 #dogmom #pawrent #dogsofbluesky

Here are some Dog Mom Hacks to Make Your Pawrent Life Easier 🐾 (If your pup is your baby, these are for you.) Time-savers and sanity-savers 😂👇

Understanding how your dog communicates is like learning a second language one that builds deeper trust and connection. What’s your dog’s signature look and what do you think they’re trying to say with it #dogsofbluesky #dogmom #pawrent

Them:"Must be nice just hanging out with your dog all day." Me:"Oh, you mean like being a personal chef, behavior coach, medical secretary, poop inspector, therapist, and full-time bodyguard? Yeah, super relaxing." What "just hanging out with your dog" actually looks like: [Thread] 👇

Grizzle’s just out here wondering why squirrels run but don’t wanna play.😂 #dogmom #dogsofbluesky #pawrent

Every flower blooms brighter with Grizzle nearby🌺🥰 #dogmom #pawrent #dogsofbluesky

If your dog’s nails are clicking on the floor, it’s past time for a trim Long nails = joint pain, bad posture, long-term damage. I learned this the hard way how did no one tell me this sooner?? #Dogmom #PetCareTips #DogHealth #Dogsofbluesky #pawrent

Some days, Grizzle just sits quietly, like he’s carrying thoughts too big for his paws. I wish I knew what was on his mind… Maybe he’s just watching the world, or maybe he’s waiting for someone to come home. #dogmom #dogsofbluesky #pawrent

Grizzle has been asleep for six hours straight. I tried to wake him up and he just sighed and rolled over. Pretty sure he mumbled, “Wake me when the economy fixes itself.” 🤣🤣 #dogmom #dogsofbluesky #pawrent

Random : When you’re getting a puppy, what personal factors or preferences help you decide if you want a male or a female? #dogmom #dogsofbluesky #pawrent

Imagine going on a walk and someone tells you, ‘No looking at anything, just walk.’ That’s what it’s like for dogs when we rush them. So now I let Grizzle sniff, I get peace. #DogMom #Dogsofbluesky #Pawrent

Started bringing Grizzle’s favorite toy, his blanket from home, and some treats to vet visits.. He’s way calmer, I’m less stressed, and the vet said he was one of the chillest dogs they’ve seen. Highly recommend.☺️ #dogsofbluesky #pawrent #dogmom

Just look at Grizzle’s glow-up!✨ Watching him grow has been the most rewarding part of my days 🥹❤️ It’s wild how fast time flies #pawrent #dogmom #dogsofbluesky

Okay, be honest... how many of you have
Pretended to throw the ball just to get a
30 second break?🤣This is a safe space🤣

Just Grizzle doing Grizzle things laid back and loving life🐾❤️ #dogmom #pawrent #dogsofbluesky

I thought I trained Grizzle… turns out he trained me. I now respond to every bark like it’s urgent🤣 #dogmom #pawrent #dogsofbluesky

When my Grizzle sighs dramatically after I stop petting him, I feel like I failed as a pawrent🥺😂 #dogmom #pawrent #dogsofbluesky

How come Grizzle🐶 hears a cheese wrapper from 3 rooms away but ignores me when I call his name 7 times?🤣🤣 #dogmom #pawrent #dogsofbluesky

On today’s Grizzle flower patrol,💐🌺 he sniffed every rose but chased zero bees. We’re working on productivity goals🤣🤣 #dogmom #pawrent #dogsofbluesky
