Tosey: More Than a Guest, She’s Family

I know I’ve said this before, but at this point, Tosey is practically family. And honestly, I think she feels the same way. She has her routine down to perfection—every morning, she trots in like she owns the place, heads straight through our little doggy door to take care of business, and then comes back in looking for her brunch (if she hasn’t eaten already). It’s all second nature to her now, like she’s been part of the pack forever.

In the early days, she used to go wild with Hershey every chance she got, but now that they’re old buddies, she’s settled into a more relaxed rhythm. She knows she has all the time in the world to play—on her terms, at her own pace.

What Tosey seems to enjoy the most these days, though, is our downtime together. When I take a break or sneak in a nap on our big round couch, it doesn’t matter how many pups are already sprawled out with me—Tosey will find a way to squeeze in next to me. And if there’s no room? Well, she’ll just plop right on top of me, content to nap as close as possible.

Aside from the joy of having so many different pups to play with, I think her favorite part of being here might just be my snack breaks. She’s got an appetite just like my own babies—never picky, always ready to eat! From time to time, I treat her to some delicious canned food alongside my own pups, though I make sure not to overfeed (I’ve seen what happens when dogs get a little too spoiled!). Keeping everyone healthy and at a good weight is important, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some good food along the way.

Tosey is more than just a visitor at this point—she’s part of our little family, and we love having her here every day. 💕🐾

Her First Sleep Over

’m not sure if she realizes it yet, but her dad isn’t picking her up today. Not that she seems to mind, she’s having an absolute blast with Ferguson, who has completely stolen the spotlight. With everyone, including Tosey, chasing after him, the energy is nonstop!

Aside from all the playtime, we also had a long, relaxing stretch on the couch. Since my wife was home to help with the others, I got to spoil Tosey with extra massages—something she definitely didn’t complain about!
