Does this look like the face of sweet girl that would get her dad up for breakfast

while mom was sleeping, and then an hour later get mom up and trick her into giving her breakfast

?? Ya, I didn’t think so either 🤷♀️😇
Hi everyone! Here’s Angel! We are on our way to Denver, so we won’t be posting much today. Our total drive will be about 24 hours y the time we get to Lethbridge, and so far she is doing great 🥰. We stopped for a little rest from driving and then we will be back on the road.
@NiallHarbison
Thank you for saving him Niall! He looks like an absolute sweetheart and he deserves a second chance at life and to be happy and healthy 🩶🩶🩶
Derek 🤎💚🤎
Like most of you, I’m heartbroken 😭
It’s amazing how attached we get to pups half way around the world from us.
I’m so sorry
@NiallHarbison
, this must be hardest on you and others on the land. Thank you for saving Derek & giving him the the best life. Take care
Genuinely the best boy there ever was. Sorry to say that Derek left us this evening. He was the most unassuming, gentle, gracious and loving older gentleman I’ve ever met. I know he touched lots of lives but he’ll leave some remarkable memories… (1/8) 🧵
Angel-Mom Girls’ Road trip 2023!! We made it safe and sound to our hotel in Denver. I told Angel how much everyone loves her and she said thank you and she loves you too! 🩷🩷🩷
A few people asked for more Rizzo … he just turned 7, he is a goofball & a cuddler, he’s never chewed anything he’s not supposed to except for my hand when he was a puppy, he is named after Anthony Rizzo -⚾️ player, and his fave things are swimming, balls, belly rubs & barking.
I’m sure other dog lovers can relate and would do anything to ensure their pup’s comfort … Angel prefers sleeping in the living room, so I have been sleeping in the living room with her so she doesn’t feel alone. Rizzo usually joins us for part of the night 🩷💜🩷💜
My grandma has COVID, and I’m very worried about her. She is 92. She spent 7-hrs in the ER last night b/c her oxygen was low, and then they sent her home. COVID is not over ❤️🩹
Angel and Rizzo’s first play session. Don’t mind the mess; I moved my desk into the living room so I’m reorganizing a few things. We are so happy they are getting along so well! 💜💜💜💜💜
We took our time this morning getting ready and Angel got to walk around Denver a bit. Angel gots lots of belly rubs and she really loves my husband (Doug)🥰. We are on the road to Billings, MT now.
It’s been exactly 1 month since Angel & I left Tulsa in our rental vehicle & drove 24hrs to Lethbridge, Alberta. After driving thru Ok, Ks, & Co, Doug met us in Denver. Then we drove thru Wy, Mt, & finally S. Alberta. Angel is doing amazingly and we love her so much

Jumbo 🤎🤎😢😢
I loved watching him sneak off to the 7/11 in the middle of the night; what an absolute character and sweetheart of a good doggo
@NiallHarbison
another life you changed & made infinitely better; it’s obvious he loved sharing the last 18 months with you ❤️
Jumbo has been battling health issues for a few weeks. He had a big series of tests this morning and it confirmed what I sadly knew in my own gut already.
Jumbo has a week or 2 to live at most. Very late stage kidney failure. The finality of It is like a punch to the stomach. I
Dear fans of Angel and Rizzo, I’ve not been feeling well so I might not be posting for the next little bit. Don’t worry about the pups; they are still getting lots of exercise, snacks, and especially ❤️. Take care 🥰
Mashed potatoes/Salmon 30 was a hit! Angel went to the vet today to meet her new vet, and she is in excellent health. We were worried about possible cataracts but the vet has no concerns. Rizzo is healing up perfectly after his surgery yesterday. Have a good night 💚🩷💚🩷
We are getting closer to Montana. I had a little nap while Doug drove, and Angel is snoozing. I know not everyone likes looking at vacation pictures 🤭 but I love the scenery here so I had to post a few.
It’s so weird when someone who was a friend blocks you. Sorry, my friends, if my posts have been sub-par or if anyone is tired of hearing about my long covid or seeing my adorable puppers 🤷♀️
Speaking of which, here they are keeping me company tonight ❤️
We are in Wyoming! Sorry, the video has no sound and is high speed 😂. Angel met lots of new people at the rest stop and they were all excited to give her pets. And don’t worry, she is getting lots of water, walkies, and 💕
OMD you guys! I met
@servicerotties
’ human and Chesnyy. Kuno was resting up but I got to rub Chesnyy’s belly and it was all I dreamed it would be 💜. Chesnyy was awesome in the ring, and her human is an absolutely wonderful person!
I received a few DM’s asking about Bill, so I’ll post this so everyone is aware.
I talked to
@WmDeanFrench
/ Dad to Dogs and he is okay and taking a break from Twitter. He’ll probably back in a little while 🐾🐾🐾🐾
It’s -21°C, feels like -30°C, that’s -22°F! So Angel has her fancy winter boots on, and she also wore her pink coat for her walk. She loves the snow but this is a little cold for this Okie girl🩷🩷🩷
Ps. Rizzo wanted nothing to do with a walk 😂😂
We went for a 50 minute walk and sniffed every tree, fire hydrant, and bush for a mile. We worked on Angel’s training, and she did well: she sat well, calmly let people pass, and didn’t bark at 5 people, but then she barked at an elderly women 🤷♀️
I have some bad news, Angel isn’t welcome back to Canine Club. She was not getting along with some of the dogs. I’m not sure of all the details but it sounds like she might be protective of Rizzo and not want other dogs near him. We are working on appropriate ways to greet dogs
The moment you’ve been waiting for … Angel’s new rain jacket! She is easily more fashionable than me 🩷🩷🩷. I just threw it on quick because I was excited.
Rizzo’s is here too but he isn’t as agreeable to trying on clothes so we’ll get pics another time
Many of you know that Rizzo hates going for walks, but we have been trying to get him to at least tolerate a few blocks. Rizzo fought it at first but with Angel’s help, today we all went for a 30min walk!! Rizzo did so well and we are so proud of him, and Angel was a huge help 🐾
This was my Kelly from when I was young and still lived at home on the farm. We had many German shepherds, and I loved them all but Kelly and I were inseparable 💚💚💚
Angel seems to 🩵 the ❄️! She played for a while with her new friend; Rizzo said, this isn’t playtime, this is ball time! I hope your weather isn’t too bad wherever you are 💜🩵💜
I talked to my grandma tonight, and she actually sounds a lot better. I’m so relieved! Her oxygen is in the 90’s, and of course she wanted to know how we have been doing and how Angel is. She is truly an amazing and super tough women. What is the emoji for happy tears? 💕
My grandma has COVID, and I’m very worried about her. She is 92. She spent 7-hrs in the ER last night b/c her oxygen was low, and then they sent her home. COVID is not over ❤️🩹
I wanted to thank all my new followers! I’ve been having a rough week with long Covid, and my new friends on her make things a little better. Thank you; you’re the best 💚🩵🩷🖤. Here are some pics from Salmon:30 to make your night a bit better
Poor Angel puked at 5am 🤢. I think it’s time for a visit to the vet, poor girl. I gave her a nice relaxing back rub and brought her a little snack to the living room and she ate it, so that’s a good sign. She is resting now 🩷
While Angel has pretty short fur, it is thick, so instead of a winter coat, I ordered her a raincoat to keep her dry on our walks. She is so long! I measured her and she needed the same size as Great Dane modelling the raincoat on the website. Pics to come when the coats arrive
Angel wants to thank
@WmDeanFrench
for sending your with her comfy bed, fancy new collar & leash, food & water & of course, her personalized food bowl 🩷🩷🩷

I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion and I’m probably too much of a dog momma bear, but I wonder how 1.5k people can look at my adorable pup and not immediately like her pic
😂🩷😂🩷😂🩷😂🩷😂🩷
Ps. I’m just joking; don’t get 😤
Ok everyone, as you know, my posts are 99% dog/animal 🐾🐾🐶🐈🐮content, so if you were afraid to like my tweets before because your pets would get jealous, you can now freely like my tweets because ♥️ LIKES ARE NOW HIDDEN 😂😂
A dog walker takes Angel every now and then so she can connect with other humans as well. Today, she went with Sam, and Angel did very well. No cats jumped out and Angel only whined a bit when a dog kept barking at her. We’re very proud of how well she is doing
💖💖🐾🐾
Last night Angel’s ear was bugging her but she didn’t want me to touch it. Rizzo let me clean his ears, and then Angel let me clean her’s. It was so sweet. This is us watching tv late last night 💜💜💜. We are going to the dog park later today so we’ll see how that goes.
Rizzo and Angel went to Canine Club today! They came home dragging their butts (i.e. very tired) so I think they had a good time, and Angel made some new friends 💕
Since Angel is technically American, she wants to give thanks today to
@WmDeanFrench
for saving her.
Thank you 🩷
I bookmarked the videos of when she joined the French Frat house so I can look back to the beginning of her new and happy life 🥲
Rizzo update! I talked to the vet & Rizzo is doing well. They removed the cracked tooth & 1 lipoma; he can come home in a few hours. Angel is missing him & she didn’t eat this morning. I’m off work the rest of the week so I’ve been hanging with her. They are such good pups
💚🩷💚
Angel and Rizzo want to wish Sampson (

Salmon: 30! Tonight our VIP guests, Angel & Rizzo, will be dining at the chef’s table. The special is salmon balls with pumpkin, zucchini, sweet potato, potato, carrots, and probiotics. Have wonderful night 🧡🖤💜💚
I setup the couch to be Angel’s couch. It took a little convincing but she hopped up and rubbed her face all over it and acted like a puppy. She was so excited, and then Rizzo and her played a little bitey face to celebrate the event. I think she knows it’s her couch now
😢💗💗
A few things from my trip …
1. People in Tulsa are amazingly friendly!
2. It was really hot & humid but nice
3. I visited the Air & Space Museum which was educational
4. I got to meet
@WmDeanFrench
& the French pack which was awesome 🤩
5. Adopting Angel was the best part 💕
Ok guys, it’s been about 4.5 months since Angel joined our family. Angel has her own couch but as much as we invite and encourage her to get up on the other furniture & the big bed, she hasn’t … until today!! Today she sat with Rizzo and I on the other love seat 💕💕
Angel is starting to play with balls more. It’s so cute because she is pretty clumsy. She prefers the ones that squeak so I ordered a few more so Rizzo doesn’t hog them all ⚽️
Today is Angel’s birthday!!! 🥳🥳🥳
She’s is now 9! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🎂🎂🎂
I’m going to make mini cakes for both Rizzo and Angel for tonight and have a small family celebration. She is the sweetest, most loving girl and we’re so happy she joined our family on September 30, 2023 🩷
Sorry I haven’t been posting much, I’ve been a little under the weather. Angel and Rizzo have been wonderful caretakers though 🩷💚. And don’t worry, Doug has been making sure they get lots of exercise 🐾🐾🐾
Here’s Angel in her coat and boots. This was the first time she wore her boots and she tolerated them amazingly well. She was running in them and everything 🩷🩷🩷
Princess Angel had a checkup today. She is in perfect health! Vet says her eyes and hips are good. She looks chunky but her fur is so thick and the vet says her weight is good. Angel will be 9 in August so I’m so happy she is doing so well 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Angel walked with her best bud Sam today. Apparently, 3 dogs got off their leashes & charged Angel and Sam 😡. Luckily, nobody was hurt and the dogs went back to their human without incident, and Angel reacted a bit, to be expected, but she did very well and continued walking 🩷
Can you believe it’s been 2 months since Angel joined our family!?
Angel is loving life with her furbro, Rizzo, and she even recently started going to school 📚
Angel is a special girl; she is smart, loving, and sometimes even goofy, and we love her so much 🥰🩵🩷💜🩷🩵

Apparently, Angel & Rizzo partied too hard last night, they didn’t get up until 8am for breakfast 🥳🥳
Rizzo went back to bed in the big bed with Daddy, & Angel & I are hanging out in the living room. This is how we do New Years Day morning in our house
😊🩷😊
Ps. It snowed ❄️
We’ve had some challenges in 2023, but also some great changes. Bringing Angel home from Oklahoma was a wonderful adventure; Angel has been a most welcome addition to our family 💜
I have also been lucky to meet an amazing new friend,
@northerngirl65

Happy NYE everyone 🥳🥳
Angel and I travelled about 1600 miles home after I adopted her. I could not imagine returning her after that. After we got home, it took at least a few weeks for her to decompress and then a few months to understand she was home.
It’s been almost 8 months, and we are still
Mom is most livid 🤯🤬
Like she just doesn’t understand what is going on with people.
We had no returns for months.
We do vet & personal references.
We try to emphasize decompression.
We look for adopters w/rescue experience.
We ask if people will commit to training.

Angel, Rizzo, Doug, and I would like to wish you & your family (incl pets!) a very Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday!
We have the most amazing followers, just genuinely good people, & I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to engage with you. Take care, we love you all ❤️
At about midnight every night, I get Angel and Rizzo up for potty and a little snack. First, I give them each a belly rub and back massage. Last night, they were both so tired, they were standing in the kitchen half asleep waiting for their snack. It was so funny and cute. 🤭🖤💙
I didn’t get a pic but Angel found the ‘head hole’. She tried to climb through it but she can’t fit 😬. We put it in so Rizzo could see the neighbourhood and they both seem to enjoy it. Our neighbours always say hi to the pups
Angel did well outside the fenced -in area. We came upon some other dogs and a puppy and I wasn’t sure Angel’s recall would be very good with so much stimulation, so I put her leash on for the last quarter of the walk. But overall, she stayed close to me and came when called 🩷
Doug took Rizzo to the vet for his yearly shots, so it’s Angel-Mommy quality time. We played outside and now a quick nap before the boys get back. Angel did cry when Rizzo left
🩷🩷🩷🥲
I talk to my dogs … I talk to dogs we see on walks, in vehicles, at stop lights, at the vet … sometimes I just say hi and sometimes I tell them they’re pretty, but they always seem to appreciate it 😂
Tomorrow is my grandma’s 93rd birthday! Today, 24 of my family members went out to supper to celebrate. She is an amazing, sweet, and super tough woman, and look at this candid pic I took of her, she is stunning 💜🩵💜🩵
This week, I have a few important things to get done, and because I’m weak, I may deactivate my Twitter now and then to minimize distractions. So, if you happen to notice, I didn’t leave for good, and me and the pups will be back
💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷
Ok guys, Angel sometimes takes her bully & hides it somewhere in the house. A few times, Rizzo has found it & eaten it. Angel doesn’t chew/destroy anything she’s not supposed to, but the TV remote has gone missing. We can’t find it anywhere. We’re wondering if Angel hid it 😂😂
I spoke too soon. They interrupted their resting to yell at a car that had the audacity to drive through our cul de sac. The car is gone, and Angel and Rizzo kept us all safe 🐾🐾
Some of you may know I’ve been dealing with Long Covid since April 2022. A friend on here sent me an article about some meds/supplements that were helping some people. My Dr prescribed the meds & I’m feeling so much better! Another way an amazing follower has made a difference ❤️
Rizzo goes in tomorrow for his surgery at 7:30am. I’m nervous because I love him so much and he’s such a sweetheart
🖤💚🖤💚🖤
Rizzo refuses to wear a cone so I bought him a recovery suit, he’s gong to hate it but less than a cone and he’s going to be so adorable in it 💚

We’ve been up since 4:30am so the pups are having an after-breakfast nap. It rained, and then was below 0 Celsius overnight (icy🧊!) so we will go out once it warms up. I know it’s difficult to tell, but do you think Angel likes her couch?
