It's been 2 months since I needed help 🙌

It has been a roller coaster too! Five weeks ago, we had to make the decision to put our 10yo dog down. 😭 He got very sick, very fast, and went from normal to gone in a 4 day period. He was my shadow and I spent nearly a week doing much of nothing and crying most of the time.

My daughter decided she wanted a hamster, so we bought her one, then three days later rescued another. I thought taking care of them would at least distract me.

Three weeks ago, we decided to start looking for a dog. We wanted a small to medium male dog, so we set off for the shelter to "look". We didn't find a baby that we thought would be a good fit for us, but as we were leaving the kennel, two men pulled up with this sweet 6 week old puppy that someone had tossed out with their trash!! She was covered with fleas and ticks, filthy, and panting hard.

The shelter didn't have room for her, so we took her home. ♡ So...meet Lola Jane. She is now fully vaccinated, parasite-free, double the size she was, and spoiled rotten!

She didn't fill the void left by the loss of our Buddy, but she sure keeps me on my toes! She is smart amd spunky!!

Hope everyone else is doing well! ♡

Wow certainly a lot going on for you. First of all I'm sorry for your loss it's not nice having to make that decision to put a loved pet to sleep, they leave a little void in your heart. Second what a wonderful thing for you to take on another pet who will give you so much love. I have had and lost many pets who I have loved and they all have their different characteristics and you love them for their differences xx

Thank you ♡

I'm sorry for the loss of your fur baby. 💔. We've been through many losses, some expected, some left us in a second with no chance to say goodbye.

My blessings for adopting Lola Jane...she's just beautiful..God bless you for saving this beautiful baby girl and giving her life. She's a lucky little girl that you were in the right place at the right time. ♥️💖

Spoil that baby♥️

She is so spoiled!

Last night I had to sleep in the living room with her because my daughter had a sleepover and there was no room for her in the bed. 😂

We still miss our Buddy, but we are in love with Lola Jane. She is developing an oddly familiar personality ♡
