Here’s some pictures from my recent Therapy Dog visits to the elementary school, Foundation for Blind Children & Community College. Sharing love & kindness as a Therapy Dog is my favorite way to spend the day. #spreadhappiness #therapydog 💜 Ellie #dogsoftwitter #DogsOnTwitter

This is still one of my favorite videos of Chi Chi. She had been with our family just over a month and was learning how to play and be a puppy. She knew that she was loved and safe and that no one would ever hurt her again. She was playful, trusting and full of joy. 📷 4/21/16

In less than 4 months, Chi Chi went from having portions of all 4 of her legs amputated to going on long walks and running up the stairs. She was a miracle! 💜 📷 2016 #nevergiveup #cherisheveryday #loveabundantly #dogsftwitter #dogs #miracle #rescuedog #quadrupleamputee

Today is SpeciallyAbled Pets Day. Climbing the stairs was just one of many things that Chi Chi did that we never imagined that she would be able to do. She never allowed her challenges to determine her abilities or potential. She amazed us with her determination and courage. 💜

Happy Mother’s Day 💜 #nevergiveup #cherisheveryday #loveabundantly #teamchichi #2018AmericanHeroDog #SuperHeroOfHappiness #grateful #teamMaggie #ChiChiForever #MaggieForever #HarryForever #dogsofinstagram

It’s National Rescue Dog Day!! Our lives have been blessed by the rescue dogs that we have adopted and loved over the years. They fill our lives with laughter, adventure and love. 💜 #dogsoftwitter #DogsOnTwitter

Yesterday, I went to my friend Logan’s 13th Birthday party. 12 of his doggo friends were there, so it was a spectacular Golden pool party! I had fun swimming and playing with my friends and even jumped into the pool from the side!! 💜 Ellie #dogsontwitter #dogsoftwitter #golden

As promised, here’s Pa’s pictures from the Golden Pool Party last weekend. Enjoy! 💜 Ellie P.S. Did you see the pics of me bravely jumping into the pool from the side? #dogsoftwitter #DogsOnTwitter #Golden #goldenretriever #dogparty #swimming #dog

Sweet Harry - 11 years ago today you joined our family. We were blessed to have 8 wonderful years with you. Even though it’s been almost 3 years since you went to Heaven, we still celebrate your Gotcha Day and are grateful for every day that we had with you. We miss you. 💜

The many smiles and expressions of Chi Chi. She was a happy and joyful girl!! 💜💜💜 #nevergiveup #cherisheveryday #loveabundantly #teamchichi #joyful #SuperheroOfHappiness #2018AmericanHeroDog #grateful #ChiChiForever #MaggieForever #HarryForever

Here’s some Kipper zoomies to brighten your day. He has quite a bit of energy for a 16 year old beagle. The way he launches himself off the patio and goes airborne is my favorite part. 💜 #beagle #dogsoftwitter #DogsOnTwitter #zoomies #seniordoggo

Meet my new friend Timber!! He lives in my neighborhood & came over this morning to play. We had fun playing chase and wrestling. He’s really fast so I have to run hard to keep up with him. I love making new friends. I hope you’re having a fun weekend too! 💜 Ellie WeRateDogs

Sweet memories when Chi Chi visited a group of kids at summer camp. We shared Chi Chi’s story and encouraged them to never give up when they face adversity. Her ability to inspire and encourage people was truly extraordinary. 💜 WeRateDogs #amputee #therapydog

Happy 4th Birthday Ellie! Kipper did zoomies when he heard there was going to be doggy cake to celebrate your special day. 💜 WeRateDogs #dogsontwitter #dogsoftwitter #rescuedog #therapydog #goldenretriever #dogbirthday

Snuggles, belly rubs and a nap on the couch - Chi Chi’s favorite way to spend an afternoon 💜 #nevergiveup #cherisheveryday #loveabundantly #teamchichi #2018AmericanHeroDog #grateful WeRateDogs #Golden #Goldenretriever #therapydog #amputee #quadrupleamputee
