This makes being a touched out mom, the late nights, and the incessant “mom. Mom. Mom. Mom”’s worth it 🫶

My kids are quickly turning into some of my favorite people to hang out with and I love that. Motherhood is not easy for me. Toddlers were very hard for me. This age. This is fun. 😍

My kids don’t get a lot of spotlight here but they are some pretty amazing humans. They’re kind, responsible, and strong. I can’t wait to see where they end up!

What’s something that you might not be the best at but you try your hardest and want to be good at it? Something else I’m not the best at but continue to try and be better at it is disc. I definitely need to practice throwing more but we still have fun together.

Another successful visit to for midterms! Hip Hop saw old friends and made new ones and was happy to introduce Bell to his student friends.

Did you ever have therapy dogs visit you in school or your place of work? Did it brighten your day a bit or make you feel a little better? 🫶

Happy National Love Your Pet Day! 💕

I love each of these crazies for different reasons. They bring me joy most days and I don’t know what I’d do without them. So here’s one thing I love about each of them:

Disco: I love that she introduced me to being a breeder. She was a fabulous mom for a first time breeder and I’m proud of the babies she has produced. I also love that she was my first Windsprite who taught me patience and that dogs deserve to have a say in what they want out of life. 🫶
Orio: There’s not much I don’t love about this girl. She’s my ride or die. If I want to do it, she’s always up for it. No matter what.
Quint: I love how carefree he is (most days). If something bothered him the day before, he forgets it and tries again the next day. Sometimes that drives me insane, but I also know that it’s a good quality.
Hip Hop: My first bred by puppy. I wasn’t planning on keeping one but man I’m glad we did. I love how easy he fits into our busy household. I love that he’s Zoe’s best friend.
Turtle: I love that she is Otis’ best friend. He wasn’t really a dog kid before her. I love her joy for life. Every day she shoots out of the crate and moves my furniture by body slamming into it. And if it were Quint, it would annoy the heck out of me. But for some reason I just laugh and smile. 🤣

So tell me one thing you love about your dogs. Yes, even the ones that push your buttons. There’s something you love about them!

🚨 PSA to the public ‼️
Asking to pet is always ideal, even when the dogs appear friendly. It gives owners a second to prepare. If you’re like me, it gives me a second to set myself up to help my dog have a successful interaction.

We have high hopes of becoming a therapy dog team in the future and that means appropriate greetings are so important. If you don’t mind dogs jumping on you, just think about future patients we may be visiting that CAN’T have dogs jumping on them. Ruining the training that we have worked so hard on means potentially ruining a future therapy dog’s career and people losing out on visits that may mean so much to them during a hard time in their life. 🫶

Just ask to pet and take the owner’s directions and feedback as you visit. I promise we aren’t trying to be no fun, we are trying to open up a future. ❤️

A Hero Sprites update! Disco is turning 8 years old this April, Hip Hop turned 4 in November, and Tortellini is hitting 9 months this month!

Disco is enjoying the retired mom life. She’s enjoying dabbling in dog sports for fun and should hopefully grab her conformation championship this year!

Hip Hop enjoys the lazier lifestyle but still loves his therapy dog visits. He loves to visit with both me and my daughter.

Tortellini is loving life. She loves learning, eating, playing, and doing whatever we find time for. Her people greetings are always getting better and she is hopefully on her way to also being a therapy dog one day. She hasn’t met a stranger yet. She’s extremely dog friendly and I’m hoping to get her swimming this spring! 🤞 I’m not exactly sure what sports we want to try, but we are having fun prepping for them! She has her first conformation show next month in North Carolina!

Do you have any questions? Drop them in the comments!

A little game of toss and catch! Are your dogs good catchers?

So far all of mine will try to catch! Hip Hop won’t if he doesn’t know what the treat is, and will just let it bounce off his face. The puppy quickly learned that in this house, if you want snackies, you catch them when they’re tossed so she’s already learning to be a good catcher!
