We’ve adopted rescue Goldens for years, and one of our goofiest girls, Sydney, came all the way from Turkey. Today I stumbled across her old passport and I’m still laughing.

The serious little photo, the official stamps… and yet how can tell it’s her? She looks so serious when normally she has a sweet, slightly derpy expression made for adventure.

Posting this as a reminder: rescue dogs don’t just change homes, they change worlds — ours and theirs. 🐾

So… how can YOU tell it’s her?

You all know I’m a sucker for historic homes… and this one absolutely stole my heart! 🏡✨

16410 St Mary’s Church Road in Aquasco, MD is packed with timeless charm and character, and it sits on a stunning 12 acres of farmland. Just imagine the sunsets, the quiet, and all that space to roam!

And horse lovers, this is your dream: it comes with a barn and a run-in shed that are perfect for your horses.

If you’ve ever pictured yourself living in a historic home with room to breathe, this one is a must-see!

Make a splash for a great cause this weekend! 🐾💦 Join the Puppy Plunge at Camp Letts for tail-wagging fun, refreshing swims, and plenty of unforgettable moments with your four-legged best friend. Who’s ready to dive in? 🐶

From the moment I drove up to St Mary’s Church Road, I was absolutely in love. This old house feels like stepping back in time in the most magical way. From the old cast iron sink to the amazing staircases, every corner is filled with historic charm and character you just can’t recreate.

I have to say, my favorite detail is the sink mounted on that old wooden wall — it’s so simple, yet it tells a story all on its own.

Come see why I love this house! Sunday, 1 to 3.

Meet Dani, the ultimate door expert—or at least she thinks she is! 🐶 She’s mastered the art of standing half in the house and half out... but I’m pretty sure she hasn’t quite figured out how screens work yet. Spoiler alert: being halfway through doesn’t keep the bugs out, Dani!

You never know what surprises come with showing homes! Check out the dog in the back seat—he decided to run away from home and sneak into my car like it was his personal taxi. I ended up giving him a full tour of the farm, including several buildings, before finally taking him back home. Trying to explain THAT to the buyers? Let’s just say my storytelling skills got a serious workout! Who else has had unexpected “guests” during showings? 🐶🚗😂
