I especially love the fall for its brisk air and special kind of light.
And I especially hate it because of having to turn the clocks back. That’s because this guy has no concept of daylight savings time!
I don’t mind having learned to become an early riser to make sure Graidy can get himself outside at the crack of dawn. But I do mind having to now get up at what feels like the crack of the-middle-of-the-night. Two weeks … Read More
A dog-loving friend sent me this photo of her Halloweenie dogs.
I also get pictures of them in Christmas costumes. This friend doesn’t have 2-legged children, so her dogs fill some of that role. Any dog would be lucky to call her their dog mom. What she accomplishes with her rescue pups is truly amazing!
While I always get a giggle out of her photos, I’ve never thought about dressing up any of my dogs. So I’m curious–
Do you … Read More
I think it’s time we stop buying anything for our pets from China. Anybody remember how many thousands of dogs were killed a few years back because of bad dog food from China?
For details from Fox news, read on:

Sunbear Squad has asked that I pass along this message: Please spread the word to anyone who may be thinking about rehoming their dogs or cats. Never advertise your pet on Craiglist (or anywhere else for that matter)as “free to a good home.” Sadly, Craigslist, in particular, has become a magnet for mentally ill animal abusers and dog fighters who torture and kill pets.

An Aussie-loving friend and I were discussing the joys of living with and loving Australian Shepherds. Having lived with a few and fully understanding the gifts and challenges they can present, I think about whether I’d get another Aussie at this point in my life or something a little less energetic. And I really don’t know… It’s hard to ever go back once you know the intelligence level of these guys.
Maybe I should just start a “Rent-an-Aussie” business for … Read More
I guess you can tell that I’ve been pulled back into the rescue world a bit… I’ll stop now. : )
People who work in Rescue have learned to get pretty creative when it comes to writing descriptions for challenging dogs they hope to find good homes for. This ad (written by a friend) works hard at both making this rescue dog seem appealing, while giving the clear message that he’d be a handful in the wrong home.
