Happy #GotchaDay to #NovaThePom 🙌🏻🥳😘
We rescued Nova to be my hubs baby. She definitely is Papa's little princess. Goodness she was so tiny & ratty looking. Once we got rid of the Giardia, her coat has come in so thick & beautiful. Last pic is Nova & Sean a year later.
#DogsOfBlueSky #PomsOfBluesky
Nova with my husband Sean on her ride home from being rescued. Nova in Sean's lap once we got home from picking her up from the rescue Nova looking all ratty and scrawny. We just brought her home from the rescue. A year later, her thick, healthy coat that we have to cut every 6 weeks. Nova sitting in a car seat next to Sean.

Sometimes you just need to stop and look at what's around you... take deep breaths and feel the beauty.
This view of Mt. Rainier is from where I dwell, my home. This is from my training field aka my "office".
The mountain was out today!

Briefing pawsed.

Triton, 9 weeks old and already running the South Precinct. Must be nice.
Three deputies in green uniforms kneel and crouch around a Rottweiler puppy on a blue leash inside a patrol office. One deputy gently pets the puppy while the others look on with smiles. The Sheriff’s Office logo is visible on the wall in the background. A smiling deputy in a green uniform holds a Rottweiler puppy in both arms inside a patrol office. The deputy is wearing sunglasses on his head and other deputies are visible in the background near desks and computers. The Sheriff’s Office logo is on the wall behind them. A deputy in a green uniform holds a Rottweiler puppy close to her shoulder and smiles at the camera. Behind her is a wall covered with colorful thank you notes and a storage area with document trays. Several deputies in green uniforms sit around a table in a patrol office while a young Rottweiler puppy lies on the floor on a blue leash. The deputies appear relaxed and engaged in conversation. The Sheriff’s Office logo is visible on the wall in the background.

Here's one you may not have considered. Do you know when it's time to change dog parks or find an alternative? I had to do this for Henry when his park became unsafe.

Goodnight!
