#Rescue Diaries ~vaccinations~ All #STLSTR Rescues are fully vetted at intake. Most dogs handle vax-blues by snoozing but, like people, some pups can be sore & grumpy for a couple of days. Give them a safe, cool space - a fan, comfy bed, water, & soft food. Be patient with them. #dogsofbluesky #dogs

If the dog is shivering, has swelling around the muzzle, or unresponsive - call your Veterinarian. Rescue dogs need all the help & patience you can offer as they transition into living their best lives. #dogrescue #rescuecare #dogsofbluesky

#Rescue Diaries ~Day 365~ #ScottishTerrier Brienne has been with us a year. She knows basic commands, tolerates grooming with pharm. assistance, loves a routine & toys. Highly emotional, B is still quick to use her teeth when overwhelmed. So here she stays. #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs

THE #Rescue Diaries ~Day 360~ The scars of her past life are still visible but she moves forward. She is a #ScottishTerrier She has #behavioral support needs. She remains in #caninefoster care. Her journey continues. #dogs #blueskydogs #dogsofbluesky

~The Rescue Diaries~ Transported a Rescue today. Third dog in 2 days. However - this kiddo was neglected. We'll have to reevaluate at every step in this process. Right now - she's whining. She's free to explore but she is self isolating. Even clean, calm space with food & water can be intimidating.

The #Rescue Diaries ~tranport~ A big part of rescue is getting #ScottishTerriers from one place to another. They ride in crates, bucket seats, & planes as a relay of volunteers move them states to state on their way Home. And it's always a joyful day to find Home. #blueskydogs #dogsofbluesky #Dogs

The #Rescue Diaries ~the new guy~ When his people passed - #ScottishTerrier Murphy needed new Staff. Having all the characteristics of good socialization & being adored, he is delightful. Some Rescues just need help moving. Murphy goes to his new home tomorrow. #blueskydogs #dogsofbluesky #Dogs

#Rescue #dog day 585. From #foster to #forever. A #reactive #scottishterrier can be hard to place. After bonding with the Staff, the groomer, & finding a persuasive, amenable Veterinarian - she is home forever. Liberty - Libby - Libs you made us a #fosterfailure. #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs

John Muir: "No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. (1/2)

#LosingLulu Summit is April 19. After the agonizing decision to euthanize is made & after the procedure is done - the grief & guilt can be overwhelming. We are not alone. Come to the Summit.

This is Rex. He found a missing child in 12 minutes on his first tracking mission. "He’s kind of a triple threat," his handler said. He's trained as a therapy dog, explosive detection canine, and missing person tracker. When the girl was safe, Rex shifted to comfort mode. 14/10 (IG: arapahoeso)

Sometimes, the truth is, not all can be 'saved' & we must luve with the consequences of hard truths. Behavioral euthanasia in rescue is a reality & it can take a toll on volunteers. #caninerescue #rescue #breedrescue #extremecases #losinglulu

Today I built new rakes for Grandpa's loom. The old ones were bowed and creating tension problems when I wove. When you become a weaver, nobody tells you eventually you'll also become (or become friends with) a woodworker. 🤣

This is Georgie. He heard sirens outside his window. Thought he would show them how it's done. 14/10 excellent vibrato Georgie (TT: georgietheboxr)

Simon Paó 2022-2025 ~Our sweet summer child~ His body grew into a beast of a cat but his brain got stuck in ornery adolescents. He loved shiny things - zippers, buttons, the ends of shoe laces, keys, cords, & bra hooks. He liked rough head skritches. He was a big, goofy Void. We will miss him.

Missed #TerrierTuesday by a paw. Last weekend was #permanent #ScottishTerrier #foster Libby's #GotchaDay & we #celebrated with treats & play & extra naps. Oh! And a #TinyArt portrait in gold. #Dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs

Almost 12 year old #ScottishTerrier Piper is always in her #HiVis reflective celedon green collar (even wears her matching harness & leash while traveling) but it's a blustery #TerrierTuesday so - you'll have to trust her. #blueskydogs #dogsofbluesky

Who needs #Howlloween costumes on #TerrierTuesday when you're a #ScottishTerrier ? The squirrels already think we're #nightmares so we'll just lean into that. Happy #Halloween Blessed #Samhain
