Now introducing my son...Doyle! 🐶🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️ I may not have been able to directly save you from your previous neglectful owners who thought a dog should just live on the end of a chain, but I'm here now! And I promise to be nothing but loving, kind, caring, and patient with you. Let the adventures begin! #fosterfail #fairfaxcountyanimalshelter #adulting #adoptdontshop #doylechronicles (at Fairfax County Animal Shelter)

Rogue. Piggy. Dominic. Roscoe. Mary Moo. And tonight - Shiloh! Being a foster mom is pretty awesome. I've gotten to spend a few hours to a few days with these pups since July and I'm happy to know I helped them find their forever homes. I've wanted to keep them a few times, and it was tough to say bye but I know I'll be able to have my forever pup soon! In the mean time, I'm enjoying this part-time hobby of fostering doggies. 😍 (at Fairfax County Animal Shelter)

Little, you make us so proud! So proud that you not only danced in your 4th semi but you helped organize #gmufca's performance and #d6semi2015! & we now have a great, great, great grand little. The linage is beautiful 😭 (at Hilton Alexandria Mark Center)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST SEESTAR EVER! Thanks for always listening to my stories, still loving me even though you say "YOURE JUST LIKE YOUR BROTHER!" in a mean way lol, thinking I'm funny, and for giving birth to my nephew. You're an awesome mommy, wife, and sister. Even though you're oddly obsessed with Dennix, I still love you very much. LOL. 😘😎👽🎉🎉🎉

Yay for firsts! First time being a foster mommy & being at Great Falls 😄 Rogue is up for adoption at Fairfax County Animal Shelter! She was so well-behaved all day, but does have a bit of princess-like qualities to her. She was shy at first but was cuddly and still full of energy by the end of the day :)
