Three years ago today, we said goodbye to a girl who changed everything for us.
When we found Tina, she was living on a short chain, used for breeding, and reduced to skin and bones. Yet despite everything she had been through, she looked up at us with pure hope in her eyes and wagged her tail.
Happy Doggo was just beginning back then. We didn't have much, but we had enough love to give her six unforgettable months. Her body was too tired to stay, but in those six months, she touched millions of hearts around the world.
Before she passed, we made her a promise: that her pain wouldn't be in vain, and that we would build a home for the sickest, weakest dogs who needed a miracle.
Today, Tina’s Hospital is officially being built. Brick by brick, room by room, her legacy is coming to life. But we still have a long way to go, and there is still a lot of fundraising left to do to complete the build and get those doors open for the dogs who need us most.
We kept our word, sweet girl. We hope we’re making you proud. 💛

Amen brother 🙏🏼 what a goal to live for and an inspiration from a rescued mature 🐕. May her soul R.I.P Keep up the good fight Niall, my prayers are with you and your team.
I think this is one of the hardest six-month stretches of my life coming up, between funding the hospital, getting it built, staffed, and creating all the protocols that we need to launch it.
We really are starting to head towards the home stretch now. I have to be honest if it wasn't for Tina I don't think we would have got this far. It's a phenomenally hard thing to do to build a hospital in Thailand but every single day I wake up in the morning and I think of Tina. It pushes myself and the whole team forwards to create something incredible for these street dogs.

Interestingly this hedge signal still hasn't rolled over despite the recent recovery. Not a crash call but your expected returns will likely be muted compared to normal market drift days.
Longest duration as of right now - would be cautiously optimistic. A small sample size over the last few years though but definitely something I'm paying attention to
Will it fail this time around?

This was recorded last Tuesday morning at Meadow Creek Animal Services in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The woman is Evelyn. She's 83 years old. The dog in her lap is a small white flutty mixed-breed named Snowbell. Nine years old. They'd been together since Snowbell was eight weeks old.
Evelyn's daughter Margaret had driven her to Meadow Creek that morning. Neither of them talked much on the way over.
Three months ago, Evelyn had a serious health event that affected her balance and mobility significantly.
After two months of rehabilitation, her doctors and family agreed that she needed a higher level of daily care than she could receive at home alone.
Arrangements had been made for Evelyn to move into a residential care facility the following week.
The facility did not allow pets.
Evelyn had called four different facilities over six weeks looking for one that would make an exception.
She'd asked her doctor to write a letter explaining Snowbell's importance to her daily emotional wellbeing. Two facilities reviewed the letter. Neither could accommodate the request due to resident allergy policies.
Margaret had offered to keep Snowbell. But she lived four hours away and worked full time. She told us: "I wanted to say yes. I tried to figure out how. But Snowbell had never been away from my mother. I didn't think it was fair to either of them."
The decision to bring Snowbell to Meadow Creek was made on a Sunday evening. Evelyn barely slept that night.
At the shelter Tuesday morning, the intake coordinator placed the paperwork on the desk in front of Evelyn and gave her space. Evelyn had Snowbell in her lap.
The security camera shows Evelyn picking up the pen. Looking at the first line. Stopping.
Snowbell pressed both front paws against Evelyn's chest and pushed her nose into Evelyn's neck. Then wrapped her front legs tighter, the way a small child clings when they sense something is wrong.
Evelyn put the pen down. Wrapped her arm around Snowbell. And sat there.
Margaret stood behind her mother's chair with her hand on Evelyn's shoulder. Neither of them spoke.
The intake coordinator, a woman named Rosa, told us she stepped away from the desk and gave them as much time as they needed. She said: "Evelyn didn't explain what was happening. She didn't have to.
Snowbell knew something was happening. You could see it. She just kept holding on."
Evelyn signed the papers eventually. She asked Rosa to note in Snowbell's file that she liked to sleep tucked under a blanket and that she preferred soft food over dry.
Rosa wrote everything down.
Evelyn kissed Snowbell on the top of her head.
Handed her to Rosa. Stood up slowly with Margaret's help. And walked out. Rosa held Snowbell until she stopped trembling.
Meadow Creek has flagged Snowbell as a priority adoption. Rosa checks on her every morning before her shift officially begins.
Evelyn called the shelter on Thursday to ask how
Snowbell was doing.
Rosa told us: "I gave her a full update. Evelyn thanked me and said: 'She's not used to sleeping without the sound of my breathing.' I told her we'd make sure she wasn't alone."
Some goodbyes aren't chosen. They're arrived at through a long road of trying every other option first.
And some dogs hold on right until the last moment, not because they understand what's happening, but because they've always held on. That's just who they are.
Excellent News ❤️

Good morning.
Someone in the stable asked me an important question, and I think a lot of you might be in the same bucket.
They are trading with a 5 figure account, and found it hard to focus with opportunities taking place across multiple markets.
Here are my thoughts:
