Day 2 of Roxy the Rescue Adventure

Lulu came home from fiat mining.
Came home and carried Roxy out to the yard to encourage her bathroom time. It has been 30+ hours since Roxy’s last go & something’s gotta give.

Roxy quickly runs away and squeezes past a surfboard Lulu used to try and block her escape, to hide in a corner behind the shed.

Lulu 0

Roxy sits on the cold concrete until Lulu realises no bathroom visits will be occurring. Roxy has the upper hand. Again.

Roxy refuses to walk so Lulu carries her back inside the home.

Roxy immediately scrambles away into a corner under the table. Roxy has an inbuilt high alert security system.

Lulu is patient. Has done this many times before.

At bedtime, once Roxy thinks everyone is asleep, she begins the investigation of her surroundings.

Roxy is loud, clumsy & keeps Lulu awake. Bear the rescue dog, and Roxy begin to chase each other. The time is 10:20 pm.

Then Lulu smells the poo she’s been waiting for. It’s a big clean up. Lulu suddenly recalls why she prefers small dog breeds. She’s happy to do it knowing that Roxy’s digestion system is working A-OK.

Lulu sits in the living room to do some light reading before once again hitting the hay. Roxy makes her way over (for the very first time) and steals one of Lulu’s slippers that she had just not a second before, removed.

Roxy is stealthy.
Lulu says No!
Roxy is chastised.
Lulu tries to hand her a toy instead.
Which Roxy ignores.

This is progress.

As Day 1 of our new foster dog Roxy’s arrival, comes to a close, she is still as terrified as when we met this morning.

She has eaten a little beef mince and drank some water, only after we all went to bed. I heard her out in the kitchen.

I got up just now to carry her outside for a pee as she won’t come on her own. As soon as I put her down on the ground, she ran and hid behind our shed, in the rain on the wet concrete, shaking.

She prefers that to the terror of being near me. I feel so sad for her, but cheer myself up, as I tuck her back inside and wrap her in a blanket for the night, with all the wonderful she has yet to come.

Just arrived home with our new foster dog - a female GROODLE named Roxy.

She is terrified, vomited in my car on the journey home & i would feel exactly the same way were I in her shoes.

Watch this space to follow along & cheer her on as she learns how to be loved!

She is from a breeder. Not sure about her first 10 months but I know for sure, the rest of her life is going to shine!!!!
Let’s go!!!

Off to pick up some new foster dogs! My current rescue needs a pack so this is going to be a wonderful surprise for him!

Not all dogs need other dog companions but mine does! He’s happiest around other dogs!

Did you know that senior dogs in shelters get euthanised at a higher percentage rate even though they are the ones that are most often toilet trained, eat less, do less, and don’t care too much if you’re at work all day and all they get to do is lay on the sofa?

Foster or adopt a senior rescue dog today! If feeding cost is an issue, the foster organisation will take care of that for you.

You have a lot of love to give!
Abundance follows abundant action.
Trust that the Heavenly Father WILL provide.
Open your doors to need & you will reap the rewards in kind.
Positive action ripples forward.

I had a little scan on the bridge of my nose for years. It never went away. Was worried it was melanoma. Booked in for a skin check.

Before my appointment it disappeared completely.
Why?
The only thing I’ve done differently is start my day with:

🍋 in water followed by fresh celery juice followed by a fruit & vegetable juice.

How incredible!
Food heals!

The hardest thing for me to be in my long term relationship, is the opposite of what I accuse my partner of.

You don’t need a therapist, just a willingness to ask yourself tough questions & someone who has your back.

The use case for a therapist or any support person in your life, is to be a sounding board who is non judgemental and will still call you on your shit. We all have blind spots. This needs to be called out every now & again.

Preferably they will also have knowledge in areas that you don’t so that they can help you learn new things. Knowledge really can be half the battle.

And after years of supporting adults to love and trust themselves, I stand by my belief that the person whose love you need the most is your own & our Heavenly Father’s.

From this place I have witnessed miracles of healing and change & I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that faith is all powerful. Do you have a deep faith? If not, why not?

This doesn’t mean you can’t, & won’t, still be lonely or afraid or in struggle. It means that you shift HOW you view your struggles & pain, and the information it’s providing you.

Praying for support can help shift a situation into a new experience. It can also bring you clarity and peace. We are much more capable of handling life’s bumpy roads with the resiliency a faithful heart than with a confused one. I choose to believe that everything is happening for me, not to me, and I can find my way forward somehow no matter how stuck I feel.

You can call this practicing radical responsibility, or the avoidance of being stuck in a victim role long term. Whatever you want to call it, think of it as getting knocked down lots of times, but always bouncing back up eventually.

With a mindset like this, we know that nothing is permanent in this life, except change and we have come here to experience this time. We may as well make the most of it.

Our hard asset is down. Fear & uncertainty at a high. How will you stay your own course and help regulate your nervous system today & this week?

I’m heading for a snorkel in the ocean then baking my kids favourite snack and cooking up some healthy epic meals for my own health journey.

It’s the simple actions you do each day that help you stay the course inside yourself, while the world around you flex’s in chaos.

We got this.
