Welcome to Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary.

Located just east of Nashville, Tennessee, OFSDS is a Forever Foster home whose mission is to provide senior dogs with a loving home and all the care they need as they live out the rest of their lives.

Not only is this benefitting the dogs, but it is a source of joy for thousands of people worldwide. Their Facebook page has over one million likes and posts from their blog on Tumblr garner thousands of likes and reblogs daily.

When was the last time you saw a genuinely nice comment on the Internet? Take a look through the comments on OFSDS photos and you will be blown away by the precious words people offer at the sight of these sweet dogs.

Some of the dogs under the sanctuary’s care get adopted by loving families, which is always the goal. There is an album on their Facebook page which lists all of the dogs who are looking to find Forever Families. However, others find their place within the group. There are several cliques at OFSDS, but don’t worry, they’re all the best of friends.

Here’s the Road Crew.

The Calmer Gang.

And the Lookout Gang.

There are, of course, fan favorites at OFSDS. Leo, the handsome mix of Chow Chow, Siberian Husky and much more has stolen hearts with his big bushy mane and adorable smile.

Gertrude, who was hypothyroid upon her arrival at the sanctuary, meaning she lost hair and gained weight easily. With the help of the lovely OFSDS caregivers, she lost a lot of weight and her energy levels spiked. She’s now in great shape and doing well!

Captain Ron has a certain place in my heart. This grizzled old fella has only one eye but double the personality. He may look like a tough guy, but he’s really a big softie.

Also, to combat the ridiculousness of the 2016 presidential election, OFSDS’s own Mildred will be running for office with Captain Ron, her pick for VP.

Finally, some candidates we can get behind.

I highly suggest following the antics of these lovely pups. Also, if you are willing and able to donate to the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary and support these sweet animals, I encourage that, too. It’s all going towards the most noble of causes: helping dogs be happy.

Leo doesn't care that Captain Ron is tired from his work on the campaign trail, he just wants him to get out of his way!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
