2025 update: I moved the Paws and Reflect blog to Substack last fall to write more broadly. Some of my voiceover posts, where I read essays aloud, will now also be available as podcast episodes. All of our old episodes (original podcast description below) will stay live! Original description, from 2022: Haley and Sean reflect on life with our delightful (and delightfully weird) blue heeler Scout. Since adopting her in 2019, we’ve trained through fear-based dog reactivity, fostered multiple shelter dogs, dealt with idiopathic epilepsy, and navigated so many ups and downs in between. In January 2023 we hit the road for full-time van life! 🚐 We hope our blunders and realizations can encourage fellow dog lovers. Find us at pawsandreflect.blog and @paws.andreflect on Instagram.
