Grounds and Hounds Adorable Christmas Mugs Make Great Gifts for Pet Parents
I learned about Grounds and Hounds through social media. I've been following the account Make Life Happen on Instagram, which documents the journey of two rescue dogs, Poundcake and Milkshake. Their devoted pet parents, James and Leah, share their daily lives with the pups, who also happen to be deaf. I've been so inspired by how honest they are about the hesitancy they had before first adopting Poundcake and how much they have learned about the power of pet adoption, adopting differently abled pets, and sharing stories on social. They share videos of both dogs joining their family, training them with sign language, and illustrating the power of time, commitment and love. Mike and Leah also support animal rescue organizations by holding fundraising online and through apparel they sell with beautiful drawings of Poundcake and Milkshake.
