Just a gal and her rescues, embracing a crazy life and sharing what we love and learn along the way. Tami heads up the Crazy and owns a pet nutrition business.
In support of the homeless or ailing, we will always be a voice for the voiceless. Livin' the Crazy is a community dedicated to celebrating the "crazy" that occurs in a life dedicated to our furry friends. She also slangs insurance as her full-time side hustle. She has been deeply involved in the rescue community in AZ and will forever have a passion for homeless dogs and cats in need. There are 4 canine & 4 feline rescues (plus a resident feral kitty) that make up our crazy family. Chronologically they are:
- Romeo (15yo); Ragdoll/Siamese
- Juliet (14yo); DMH kitty
- Murphy (8yo); Shihtzu
- Sonny (7yo); Sh*tzu mix
- Aliekat (7yo); Lynx point siamese
- Olivia (7yo); Maltese/Yorkie/Shihtzu mix
- Enzo (6yo); All American 'who knows' mixed up adorable mutt
- Bentley (4mo); Polydactyl gray tabby
- Mama Mercedes (1y'ish); Bentley's Mama, and a feral who stays outside
Our guardian angels, that await us at the Rainbow Bridge, are Daisy (neapolitan mastiff) and Cookie (brown tabby).

We're 4wks in to trying to heal up an ivdd flare (bulging disk in neck), and while we SHOULD be doing absolute crate rest, it's Enzo, and he has acute separation anxiety soooo, we're doing the best we can. 🤷🏽♀️ I increased his trazadone doses again today and it seems to be helping him settle a bit more. We have at least another 4wks of this, if not six. Senior pups are not for the weak hearted. 😩 Tell me when we start having fun!

This is how you spend the day when it's your FOURTEENTH birthday! Mom and I were supposed to go for an outing (she took the day off work) but Enzo needs her more today so I'm content to instead sleep the day away. Happy Birthday to me!

Would it really be too much to ask to have a week without a vet visit?? Senior pup 💩 problems. How a dog can swing from one extreme to the other in three weeks time (requiring vet visits for both) is truly mind boggling. I challenge you to find a more difficult dog.... Wouldn't trade him for the world but Holy Hell. 😖😖😖

I call this the snuggle side eye... It's the look he throws when he thinks I MIGHT be making a move to remove him from the couch so I can do something obnoxious like... go to bed without (gasp) having to get up in 3h to help him OFF said couch when he needs a drink, or needs to p*e, or... just because Prince Murphy NOW wants down. 🙄
?!? 😂

Merry Christmas, from our cozy little family to yours. 💚❤️

These two....🤣 Though today we did make progress, we made it around the block without me having to carry somebody home. Gold 🌟 for senior shihts!

In a rare show of cooperation, the Seniors graced me with eyeballs and close proximity for a picture this am. They're a sh*t ton of work but MAN do they fill my heart. 🥰 🎅

"Does Liv have a costume that matches a Halloween accessory I have? As a matter of fact, YES!" Which is how Liv got to be my plus one for the Halloween party, AND how I came up with the laziest Halloween costume ever... (BUT Liv was pretty adorable!!! 🤷🏽♀️) 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️HAPPY HALLOWEEN Furrriends! 🎃👻🎃👻

We had a great night at the Monster Mash trunk/treat event at .gilbert . Liv absolute NAILED her "lady bug stuffed animal" costume. 🤣 If you live in the area, check out their profile... They have sooo many events, especially for the kiddos. We'll be back for their Christmas event!

The sassy look I get when I tell Murphy to "get on the runner!" for the 18th time today. 🤦🏽♀️ For some god-only-knows reason, he'd rather stand on the tile with his back end slipping out from under him. He absolutely REFUSES to do anything that would help himself. He's always been a lot of work, but SUPER SENIOR Murphy is a whole other level.

Took old man (snuggly) Murphy out with last night to the flash tat fundraiser at . [and thoroughly wore him OUT!] Adoptable pups, woodfired pizza and a beautiful night on the patio. AND a little somethin' somethin' for my sweet heart angel kitty Romeo. Not a single day goes by that I don't miss his hugs. 🩵💔

Enzo and I helped celebrate Kingston"s FIFTH birthday tonight. Happy Birthday Handsome!!! Enzo was totally unsure of the homemade cupcakes, until one was on the dash of a moving vehicle, then it was ALL he wanted in the entire world. 🤷🏽♀️ was a great vibe for a Friday night hang. Outdoor dog park with drinks, food and the most well behaved stranger dogs I've ever seen in a confined space. Perfection! We'll be back!

We LOVE our furry family, we want to live our best life together, and we can’t help but share what we learn and love with others.
Tami (Mom) is the human that was rescued by this adorable herd of furries. She’s a rescue advocate, entrepreneur, dreamer, and photographer- and has a passion for all things dog & cat. Her full-time side hustle is insurance. :)
Seven rescues make up the Crazy...
Murphy - 7yo white shihtzu: finicky, bossy, friendly, has a human foot-fetish (haha!)
Sonny - 7’ish yo one-eyed cream/white shihtzu: very vocal, snuggly, excitable
Olivia - 6yo brown morkie’ish mutt: sweet, cooperative, independent, trooper
Enzo - 5yo blue-eyed lhasa mutt: tentative, prefers dogs to people (unless they have food)
Romeo - 14yo ragdoll/siamese mix: loves everybody, vocal, diabetic (in remission)
Juliet - 13yo gray/white dmh beauty: loves to dole out love bites, a big smidge neurotic
Aliekat - 6y cross-eyed lynx point siamese: food motivated, fatty mcfatty pants, & adorable
We have two guardian angels that are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge, Daisy (neapolitan mastiff) & Cookie (brown tabby).
If you’re here, you love furkids too... in fact, you’re probably a little crazy about them. We love that about you. Here’s to livin’ the crazy!
