Inspiring Millennial dog moms to live modern, meaningful lives.
I rescued Wynston in February 2012. He was about 2.5lbs of skin and bones. Wynston was deteriorating from neglect and abuse, but little did he know what type of life he’d come to live.
I remember having some toys for Wynston when I first brought him home, but my fondest memory was going to PetSmart a few weeks after rescuing him to pick up some extra goodies. “Easter” became part of our family that night!
Matt and I rescued McKenzie Rae from the county euthanasia list in November 2015. She came into the shelter as a stray, then she came home to us as a fearful, malnourished angel. Although McKenzie Rae (her name means “hope for a new beginning”) became ill and almost passed away in the first month we had her, she’s now super healthy, active and friendly. We’re still working on fear issues but that’s a work in progress.
We adopted Leila in October 2016. She was also a stray. Leila was actually stuck in the engine bay of a car and it took rescuers an hour to retrieve her. After about two days of being with us, Leila began to show us her playful, spunky personality. It resembles that of McKenzie. Before we knew it, Leila was attached to McKenzie Rae. I fully believe that animals can sense what each other has been through, and my two beautiful girls connected immediately.
I was walking into my bedroom on a weekday afternoon when my phone’s text message alert went off. It was a picture message with the question “know anyone who wants a three month old puppy?” It was the cutest white fluffy dog I had ever seen in my life. An hour later, I was on my way to the boarding facility where Khloee was abandoned when Matt called me. “We’re getting a new dog,” I told him. Well, it worked out because here we are two years later! Khlo was born on June 1, 2014 and we rescued her in September 2014. She’s two years old now and still my baby girl 🙂
