Reina

Happy Sunday from Reina’s drool bubble 😂. We hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend and staying cool! #reinapfoxterrier #reinastrong #funnydogsofinstagram #happydoghappyme #happydoghappylife #terriers #droolclub #drool #drooling #cutiegirl #sillypuppy #dogsof_sandiego

Just sitting here, thinking about cheese because what else is new 😂🧀. I probably shouldn’t be writing captions while hungry because this happens 😆. Ever since our trip to the Tillamook Cheese factory, I’ve been craving lots more wine, charcuterie, and cheese. Is this a sign that I need to plan another vacation 😂? What kind of cheese is your favorite? #reinapfoxterrier #reinas #smoothfoxterrier #tillamook #adoptdontshop #fosterdog #dogsthatexplore #happydoghappylife #dogsof_sandiego #adopthuggybear

Reina loves to play with the hose, Hugs’ crate, and the roomba vacuum the best. She’s very special… 😂🩵

Who allowed them to be so cute? I’m sorry, but I didn’t 😂. I may be completely biased but these pups always make me smile when I’m watching them do anything together. These two seem to always know how to melt my heart in the best of ways. Hugs truly has so many different smiles and this is what I like to call his dopey one! He is ready to be adopted to the perfect fam out there through @theanimalpad! ••• #reinapfoxterrier #reinastrong #dogsmiles #smoothfoxterrier #terriers #happydoggo #adoptdontshop #fosterdogs #animalrescue #adoptables #fostermom @1510foundation #dogadoption #rescuedandloved #rescuedogsrule

I want to live in a world where dogs live as long as their owners. Now wouldn’t that be so nice? 😍 Happy, happy Friday from me, Reina and Hugs! I’ve had a busy week at Camp Tappy Tails, but it was so much fun. I’m going to be working all weekend so it will be busy. Is anyone up to anything fun? ••• #reinapfoxterrier #reinastrong #smoothfoxterrier #terriers #dogdaysofsummer #summerdog #happydoggo #floppyears #dogsof_sandiego #boopthesnoot

Nothing better than seeing these two smiling faces every day. These two continue to make my every day so much better. Their sweet, smiley, happy, playful personalities are so beautifully joyful. Reina has been acting like her usual self lately and it’s honestly so much of a relief to see, we do a lot more lounging than exercising but she is still happy as can be. I’m making sure her hydration levels are higher than in the past to keep her kidneys functioning well. We still have more vet appointments lined up. It’s definitely very daunting still to me knowing what we will one day have to face together but I am taking it day by day as best as I could. I love being present in the moments with Reina and Hugs. She’s been having a lot of fun playing with the hose on these hot days too. They are such fun dogs to be around. I’ve been a camp counselor for a bunch of kids this week at @theanimalpad for Camp Tappy Tails 🫶🏼, and it’s been a blast. Hugs has been coming with me each day and loves every moment of the attention from all the kids. He is so, so good with kids and it’s extremely heartwarming to see. I haven’t seen much he doesn’t like! He’s still available for adoption and would make the most perfect family dog ever. He would be a good companion on road trips, and just loves anything that involves being with people. Fostering him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I’m so thankful for this time. It definitely will be hard to say goodbye when he finds his forever family but I also will be so happy for him! As much as I would love to keep him, I love fostering and if I kept him it would be hard for me to foster other dogs who need it in the future. He is the best boy and one of my all-time favorite dogs ever, he will always be so special to me. ••• #reinapfoxterrier #reinastrong #foxterrier #happydoggo #adoptabledog #adoptables #adoptdontshop #dogdaysofsummer #dogsof_sandiego

Just popping in to say happy Friday! We hope everyone is staying cool and having a great end to their weeks! ••• #reinapfoxterrier #smoothfoxterrier #terriers #floppyears #happydoggo #summerdog #happydoghappylife #dogsthatexplore #dogsof_sandiego

Mentally, I am here. In Oregon with our friends, hiking and exploring new places every day, with Reina on a beach. Take me back. Things haven’t been easy since we have gotten back. I’ve found myself clumsily flailing and floundering facing a lot of sh*t to put it frankly. I’ve felt so lonely and lost. Nobody ever tells you the hard part of owning a dog is watching them grow older, being faced with tougher and harder decisions. You never know how much time you get and that is so hard for me. I’m watching Reina happily play with her favorite toy right now and smiling knowing she’s feeling good but I’ve been plagued with so many feelings since she was in the hospital. I am constantly on the edge feeling panicked that something could go wrong at any second again. Living in fear is exhausting. I am so angry, I am so sad, I am so scared, I feel so helpless because Reina can’t use her voice to tell me what she needs. I break down in tears almost every day. It’s all up to me to make the best decisions to pretty much save her life from here on out. All I can keep doing is taking care of her as best, make sure she’s happy and as comfortable as I can, and let her live a normal as possible life like she’s used to. We still have so much to do. So many things to see. Mountains to hike. So many places to go. I need more time. Lot’s and lot’s and lot’s of it because I can’t picture my world without Reina. I really need her to stick around for a long ass time longer and a hug. I’ve honestly never missed the east coast and home so much. ••• #reinapfoxterrier #reinastrong #foxterrier #happydoggo #dogsthatexplore #dogtravel #wanderlust #kidneydisease #kidney #doghealth #dogcare

Stay cool 😎, it’s hot out there! Reina and I being original New England girlies are def not used to the dry heat here! We take little breaks to get outside during the day, including playing with the hose which is Reina’s favorite! She is acting very much like her normal happy self which I am so thankful for. She’s eating, drinking, and using the potty perfectly. In her latest labs, her numbers had increased just barely but she is still stable. The vet would like to get her to the point where she’s not losing as much protein in her urine so we are trying to tackle that next. More appointments are upcoming. This hasn’t been a great month since getting back from our trip and finding out Reina’s kidneys had worsened like they did, however I am so thankful for all the people we have had by our side during this time. We love you so much and you know who you are! This girl is my world, and I’m so thankful for the friends and family who have reached out offering their support. We are lucky to have so many people there for us 🩵 ••• #reinapfoxterrier #reinastrong #heartandsoul #heartdog #kidneydisease #kidney #smoothfoxterrier #doghealth #dogsthatexplore #dogsthathike

Reina seems to be feeling pretty good after her scare this past week. We will be going in for her follow up soon, I’m crossing my fingers 🤞🏼and manifesting good news. I’m hoping we will get some much needed answers, a management plan, and that I will feel less panicked. We’d love all the good vibes sent in our way. We need it. We need it more than anything. I feel as if I’ve been walking on eggshells, tiptoeing around. I hate living in fear of what may happen. I want to go back to less worrying, but that feels impossible. My anxiety has been kicked into overdrive. Reina as you all know, is my entire world. Reina doesn’t seem to understand why we aren’t going for her long walks, why I’ve been so scared, and why I cry a lot. I’m trying my best to not let her pick up on my emotions but I feel very scared. I wish I could hold her in my arms forever & ever like I always tell her. I wish I could take her kidneys and put them in my body. She can have mine. I’d do anything for her not to have bad kidneys. Life’s really not fair at times. It would be wrong for me to admit that I’m okay when dealing with this is emotionally one of the hardest mountains I’ve climbed and I’ve been through a lot of sh*t. Reina doesn’t think anything is wrong and I love that for her. She is trotting around the house, begging for treats, pottying well, taking her meds & eating, and making me smile despite all of this. She is so full of attention and affection for me. I must have received about 500 kisses a day. If it weren’t for my friends and family I don’t know if I would still be standing. Hugs is doing a pretty damn good job of snuggling me almost as much as Reina. I love you, Reiny. I’m going to keep fighting for you. This caption is all over the place just like my mind is much these days… but that’s the update I have for you this time. #reinapfoxterrier #reinastrong #kidneydisease #kidney #kidneyhealth #kidneyfailure #smoothfoxterrier #happydoggo #happydoglife #dogcare #doghealth #dogsthatexplore

Given everything that has happened this past week, I am so grateful. Reina is stable, she is acting like her usual spunky loving self. If I hadn’t have been there with her in the ER, I would have all thought it was a bad nightmare. She is happy, she is eating, she is drinking, she wants to go on long walks and gets disappointed when we don’t. I don’t know what the future will hold, we are still working on a management plan for her to keep her happy and healthy as long as possible. We have managed her PLN for almost four years which is amazing. I know she can keep going and continue to live her best life by my side. I don’t think this girl will sadly be going on any more 50+ miles of hiking trips but I still think she has many more adventures to take. 💕 #reinapfoxterrier #kidneydisease #proteinlosingnephropathy #kidneyfailure #reinastrong #happydoghappylife #roadtrippers
