Good morning to all the #dogs of #Ukraine who are the truest of therapy dogs supporting their long-suffering humans, and good morning to all the #DogsOfCoso who serve in solidarity with their #Ukrainian pack mates.

This very good boy spent two years in a shelter after being picked up as a stray. We adopted him nine years ago. Like many of us, he just needed someone to open their heart and make space at their hearth. #DogsOfCoso

With temperatures below freezing, Little Miss Attitude reluctantly agreed with wear her sweater on this morning’s #sniffari. #DogsOfCoso

Sometimes even the #DogsOfCoso get fooled by holiday scams. Be careful out there! It can happen to anybody!

Good morning to the hardworking humans who are ensuring that the #DogsOfCoso can live their best lives.

Good morning, friends - in a season of fake everything, May you always know what’s genuine. #DogsOfCoso

It’s National Mutt Day! Here’s to the #DogsOfCoso from the deep end of the canine gene pool!

Morning #sniffari - “if only I was as bright as the sun sparkling on the water” edition.#DogsOfCoSo #CoSoDogs

Back from our very early morning #sniffafi to beat the incoming rain, somebody decided that she’s a 40-pound lapdog. She must have noticed that I’ve lost 24 pounds and that there’s more space on my chair, I guess. #DogsOfCoSo #CoSoDogs

Morning #sniffari, raining the whole way, but still wonderful. #DogsOfCoSo #CoSoDogs

Tryptophan working its magic on the #DogsOfCoSo (and their humans.)

Yeah, whatever #NationalDogShow… we’ll stick to the deep end of the canine gene pool. #DogsOfCoSo #CoSoDogs

Morning #sniffari “how it started - how it’s going” edition. 2012-2022 #DogsOfCoSo #CoSoDogs

Morning #sniffari achievement unlocked: fake #dogs identified. #DogsOfCoSo #CoSoDogs

Dogs instinctively know when - and how - to help. Humans tend to hesitate, overthink, and worry about how their efforts will be received. Make today the day that YOU lend a hand! It might be just what’s needed!

Good morning to everyone who double-checks their coffee every single time just in case… #DogsOfCoSo #Caturday

“Stop the #sniffari, Momma… we gotta read this sign.” #CoSoDogs #DogsOfCoSo

Morning #sniffari with a sky that could foreshadow just about anything. #DogsOfCoSo #CoSoDogs

Morning #sniffari on this good boy’s “best guess” birthday. As with all shelter dogs, we’ll never know his actual birthday, but if this is in the ballpark, he’s 12 years old and still walking at least a mile every day with me. #CoSoDogs #DogsOfCoSo
