Happy National Dog Day 🐶🐾💝🐕🥳💖🌹to all my fur babies, to all my wonderful friends and a very special Dog Day to a few, because there are many, who have taught me how to be of more service, when you try to help rescuing lives at the shelters or other cruel situations🙏🐾💝.









Thanks to the purpose you feel motivated to help with and the very special love that my girl Millie woke up in me, navigating grief has had a lighter weight on me 🙏🐾🐶.
I was very fortunate to experience both types of love, one from two very well loved puppies who always had thank goodness everything, and the love from another pup, my girl Millie who was looked as a breeding machine, they didn't even care to give her or call her by her name despite being an AKC registered breeder, her name was Kelsie, but she didn't respond to it 😢. And let me tell you, even ALL DOGS ARE AMAZING, rescue dogs are EXTRAORDINARY.
"I went out to rescue a dog that day To give him a really good life To take him away from the life that he led And free him from trouble and strife
I thought I would do him a favour And be a good person to him And go do my bit for the country I didn't go out on a whim
But what do you think really did happen? The day that I did my good deed, I discovered a love that I'd dreamed of And fulfilled in myself a strong need.
I now have a dog that I care for
I see things that I needed to see.
That lovely dog that I rescued
Really ended up rescuing me."

Today August 26 we celebrate National Dog Day 🐕💝🐾🤣🐶 or International Dog Day, with the idea to promote and raise awareness about adopting animals currently in rescue centers, and embrace ownership of all type of breeds, pure and mix.
Happy National Dog Day to all my girls Millie, Nina, Truffa and my boy Mateo who lives in Colombia with my mom.
Happy day to all of you my beautiful friends, here and living at the Rainbow 🌈. And to all the pets waiting in shelters for their forever home, I'm sending you love and I hope soon someone falls in love with you as I did with my girl Millie.
"Before humans die, they write their last will & testament, give their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask.....
To a poor and lonely stray I'd give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed; soft pillow and all my toys; the lap which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I'd will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in my human's loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, "I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand."
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.
This is the only thing I can give....
The love I left behind."
