Crying as per usual! You are an excellent writer but more importantly you are a wonderful giving person. Actually both you and Jacob are. Hoping to read about an adoption for King soon. He’s amazing ❤️💜
I also had a wheelchair dog. A 12 year old corgi with degenerative myelopathy. I always said I wouldn’t put him in a wheelchair and that people that did that to their dogs were selfish. I was incredibly wrong. We got his wheelchair just before Christmas last year. I thought his reaction would be to freeze and that it would take days/weeks to get him used to it. Imaging my surprise (and my tears) when he started running around the house the moment he was strapped in. I firmly believe dogs are sent to us for specific reasons. In this case I needed a lesson in determination and resiliency - and Tonks definitely provided that.
The power of community for good! Thank you, Isabel, for your efforts and bringing us all together on these journeys. King is so lucky to have found you and it sounds like that goes both ways and that he has brightened your lives, as well. This is the positive side of social media. The good we need to focus on. Thank you, thank you for all you do and for sharing it with all of us!!!! 💜
Thank you for always showing us the best in your fosters! King is so so special ❤️ hoping that he will find his forever home soon. Love to you, Jacob and Simon (the best foster brother in the world).
What an amazing person you are for taking in King. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but you powered through. He sure is a cutie 🥰! We will miss seeing him too but someone will be the lucky one to have him in their life.
Oh, sweet King! He’s amazing, as are you, Jacob, and Simon. We have adopted a series of “broken” dogs, as we call them. Lots of emotional baggage, health issues - you name it. The one time we adopted a healthy, gorgeous girl, it sadly didn’t work out. Our most recent adoption is Breeze, who came to us heartworm positive, with a badly healed crush injury to her paw, and a terror of women. After five months, she is finally spending her days in my home office with me. She still doesn’t fully trust me, but we are slowly getting there. Proof once again that we are meant to love the broken dogs. ❤️🐾
I’m currently sitting in the waiting area at the hospital while my partner visits with a doctor, and decided to give this a read after seeing King’s sweet face. I’m deep in the dog world as well and have fallen completely head-over-heels in love with senior & disabled dogs! “Love Him Out Loud” is such a powerful phrase - I love it. Happy to have found your Substack, looking forward to following along 🥰💙

It’s absolutely amazing how resilient they are!
Got teary at my desk. My stat class worried about me so I told them the story of King and now everybody in Statistics is teary, but in a good way.
Tell you class I said hi!
King is so sweet ... Thanks for what you and Jacob do. Tears in my eyes ... I will cry with you when he finds his forever home, hopefully soon
King is the BEST!

The “broken” ones are the best ones 😉
Beautifully written. Sitting at my desk tearing up 🥲. Thank you for showing the rest of us how easy it is to love.

Great title, “Dogs & the City." You get the blog Oscar for that.
Thank you 😂❤️
