Swipe for a hidden TOT and the reason I was flying across the park.

What makes you this happy? ⤵️

Not only is it Women’s History Month but today is Harriet Tubman Day.

After escaping slavery herself, Harriet Tubman spent eleven years rescuing hundreds of enslaved people.

It took nineteen trips but she was never captured, and she never lost a single person.

Most of us can’t imagine fleeing for our lives and freedom, let alone then risking that freedom to go back and do the same for others.

However, we all have the opportunity to be brave and to do the right thing.

How have you been brave? ⤵️

The illustration here is in by @sallustration in the first Goodnight Stories for @rebelgirls book by @elenafavilli and @francescatherebel.

Not an ad, just a series and brand that empowers women from a young age by elevating the stories of those who came before them.

===

There is obviously so much more to Harriet Tubman’s story. Please take some time to learn more today.

Happy International Women’s Day! Tag your favorite Dog Mom and tell her why you’re grateful for her. 💟

===

I’d like to take today to recognize the work that @rachel.cargle does - especially in regard to @thelovelandfoundation!

Did you know that The Loveland Foundation was established by Rachel in 2018 as the result of her birthday fundraiser?

The fundraiser made it possible to provide over 600 hours of therapy sessions or free to its first cohort of Black women and girls.

Since then they have provided over 20,000 hours in therapy across the United States.

What better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than by helping women and girls work to afford the therapy they need to enable them to live authentically?

We support The Loveland Foundation every month. Will you join us?

You can do so via the link in our bio or directly via this post.

It’s National Pokémon Day!

I took a quiz on @roverdotcom that says I’m Alakazam - so I guess I’m a psychic wizard.

World Spay Day, am I right?

Have you been spayed or neutered? What helped you get through the recovery? ⤵️

Save this post for the following tips from me and my frens:

➡️ Get a @suitical. This was clutch in my recovery as I sleep like a bagel so this donut just wasn’t practical for long.

➡️ Buy brand new chews and interactive toys that don’t require significant movement. This was the first time I had @mybenebone and it helped!

➡️ Know that your pup will be likely not be themselves in the beginning but they will bounce back. I was very sensitive for the first 36 hours and my human had to gently picky me up in a blanket while I growled at her for doing so.

Happy National California Day! ☀️

Do you live in California or have you been here? ⤵️

===

I was born in California but my human is from Illinois. She first visited LA in 2003 and instantly felt like it was where she belonged.

One of our favorite things about California is the variety of places to adventure.

This particular photo is from our hike on Lewis Falls Trail in Angeles National Forest with my fren @kaleiahskyy and her mama.

===

What’s your favorite thing about where you live? ⤵️

===

[sunnysbestlife]

Is pink the new black or is black the new pink?

More importantly, what happens when you wear them both at the same time?

Do you like mud? ⤵️

===

Being 32.5% Chihuahua, I am very particular about getting my paws wet or dirty.

I’m also wary of grates and vents and will go out of my way to go around them.

So you can imagine my human’s surprise when I decided to stop around in this mud puddle and sniff a grate for quite some time!

===

What do you do that’s out of the normal for you and surprises your human? ⤵️

Do you believe that therapy can be life changing and/or beneficial? ⤵️

===

My human first went to therapy in 2019 and it was such an important experience for her. She learned why she feels the way she does about particular events and also how to reframe those experiences in a way that is healthier for her as well as others involved.

===

This fall, my human discovered @thelovelandfoundation, established in 2018 by @Rachel.Cargle in response to her widely successful birthday wish fundraiser, Therapy for Black Women and Girls.

Her enthusiastic social media community raised over $250,000, which made it possible for Loveland to provide over 600 hours in therapy sessions for free to its first cohort of Black women and girls.

Since then The Loveland Foundation has provided ​over 20,000 hours and counting in therapy across the country.

===

We have been supporting this organization for five months now and, because we are so passionate about finding ways for others to be able to live authentically as themselves, have recently become Champions to help raise awareness and funds.

Please join us in contributing to this cause.
