Michael New York+FollowTexas Family Dumps Dog After Just One DayBoo was a tiny newborn who once lived on the streets with her mother and littermates. When Animal Control found the family, they brought them to a shelter for safety. Sadly, after being placed together in a kennel, Boo’s mom refused to accept her puppies and even lashed out at them. Too young to understand they’d been rejected, Boo and her siblings longed for their mother’s warmth and comfort. Since they needed constant, round-the-clock care, the shelter reached out to Compassionate Canine Society, a home-based rescue in El Paso, Texas, for help. #dogs #puppy #doglover17737Share
Lisa Gibson+FollowThe couch takeoverI left the living room for two minutes. Two. When I came back, Kevin was lying across the couch like a king on his throne. One paw dangling dramatically, chin resting on a pillow he definitely wasn’t allowed to touch. I told him to move. He blinked slowly. I lost. #Pets #Dogs #PetHumor1171Share
Lisa Gibson+FollowThe wrong barkThis morning, Kevin heard a dog barking outside. Instantly, he ran to the window like it was a crime scene. He barked back— loud, determined, like he was solving a great injustice. Then the mailman appeared. Turns out… the “dog” was just a neighbor’s ringtone. Kevin froze, looked at me, and trotted away like nothing happened. #Pets #Dogs #DogLife820Share
Lisa Gibson+FollowKevin’s new hiding spotKevin discovered a “new” hiding spot today. It’s behind the laundry basket in the hallway. At least, he thinks I can’t see him there. His entire back end is sticking out, tail wagging like crazy. When I pretended to walk past without noticing, he peeked his head out, then jumped forward like a superhero revealing himself. He’s very proud. I’m just impressed he didn’t knock the basket over this time. #Pets #Dogs #FunnyDogs160Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 166 — the sound of rainIt rained all morning. That slow, steady kind of rain that makes the whole house feel quieter. Grace followed me from room to room, then finally curled up beside the window. Her head rested on her paws, eyes half-closed as she listened. I made another cup of coffee and sat on the floor next to her. We didn’t need to talk. The rain did all the talking for us. #Pets #Dogs #RainyDays341Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 165 — the morning walkWe took the long route today. The one past the park, where the grass is still wet from last night. Grace stopped every few steps— to sniff a bench, to watch a squirrel dart across the path, to stand still like she was thinking about something important. The air felt fresh. I let her take her time. It wasn’t about getting anywhere. It was about being here. #Pets #Dogs #MorningWalk120Share

Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 160 — the porch eveningsWe sat on the porch tonight, Grace and I. The air had that early-spring chill, but I didn’t mind. She watched the street, ears flicking at every distant sound. I watched her. Not thinking about work, or the news, or the messages I hadn’t answered. Sometimes the best way to end the day is to do nothing at all—together. #Pets #Dogs #PorchTime 90Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 155 — coffee and companyThe morning felt heavier than usual. Bills on the table, phone buzzing, a list of things I didn’t want to do. I poured my coffee and sat down anyway. Grace walked over, slow as always. She didn’t climb on me, didn’t demand anything—just leaned her head on my knee. The buzzing stopped feeling so loud. And for a moment, it was just me, the coffee, and her breathing. #Pets #Dogs #QuietMornings102Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 152 — she barked (just once)I almost dropped my coffee. Grace doesn’t bark. Not at squirrels, not at delivery trucks, not even at fireworks. So when I heard that single, sharp bark from the living room— I froze. I peeked around the corner. She was standing on the rug, tail low, ears forward, staring out the window. A squirrel. I smiled. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t angry. Just her voice. For the first time, really using it. #Pets #Dogs #FindingHerVoice 2788Share
