The chickens talk to the dogs quite often, but its not usually one of the hens haha. Sadie wasn't quite sure what was going on. She's absolutely used to the turkey and the rooster by now so this was pretty funny.

Getting Aspen tucked in for bed ❤️

04/10/2026

Aspen and I normally sit together quite awhile when she first arrives to help her settle in easier. Her mom was running late today and I had to leave for class so we had to rush her this time, which I hate doing since it can be stressful for some of these guys. I made sure to keep an eye on her on the cameras and she did thankfully settle down while I was gone. Now im making it up to her cir some extra long time in the yard before we all head to bed. She's a sweet girl for sure, but she gets overwhelmed sometimes. She reminds me a lot of Vixen, my border collie. They just need some understanding and patience ❤️

Its been a day of juggling things to do, pick ups and drop offs, and training for the dogs. Sebastian and Sadie both left today and Aspen (not pictured) arrived just in time for me to head to scent work class. Instead of heading to training this morning, I spent yet another entire day cleaning the house. There's been so much that got pushed aside and didn't get done while I was recovering for surgery, so its cleaning months worth of stuff in a matter of days. The house is finally looking good though, but the to do list never ends around here.

If you have to ask if it's worth it? The answer is yes, train the dog ❤️

What's it like living with a ton of dogs, random breeds and sizes, all the time? Its like reaching for your morning coffee cup after cleaning for 2 days straight to find dried slobber on your cabinet door 🙃

I am slowly getting things caught up around here cleaning wise, but its a never ending ordeal. I spent yet another entire day cleaning as these guys were my excuse to take breaks. They got to listen to music with me as I cleaned at least.

Fu and I searching in the dark at scent work class last night. The crew also had their private lesson beforehand so I was out in the cold for hours and hours, but they did amazing. They enjoy these colder temperatures way more than I do.

My Tuesday night class was forced to search in the dark during freezing temperatures near active train tracks…. The hides weren’t the only thing that didn’t age well as the sun went down ….Luckily these teams are troopers and are all about adding environmental grit to their trial readiness game plans! 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

Words cannot describe how much this dog has impacted my life. Rio was my first board and train for a rescue and man did he set that bar high. He needed so much work, so much. Everyone after him feels easy haha. Now I look at this dog and randomly get emotional because hes such a good boy now. Seriously an amazing dog. He not only tested how far a rescue was willing to trust me to get him what he needed for training, he proved us all right that he was worth it. He also changed my entire outlook on my business and training plans. I have never wanted to train dogs for other people, thats why my main focus is boarding. He changed that when I realized how important it is to help a dog reach their full potential. Hes not capped yet on his abilities, but it makes my heart so happy. Thanks Rio, you're one in a million buddy and you deserve your forever ❤️. Apply to adopt Rio with Team Memphis Rescue and Support Pittsburgh
