Let’s Paws: Manic Monday
Trying to avoid dealing with another Manic Monday as long as possible. As always, Ginger has the right idea.

Let’s Paws: Happy Valentine’s Day
Ginger, our dachshund, getting ready to make very short work of these girly-girl cookie lips I got her as a Valentine’s treat. They were demolished before I could get in another shot. Tell ’em, Gin: Girls just wanna have fun. … Continue reading
Let’s Paws: A disabled child’s best friend
Check out this story — and the video, which says far more than the words about how a service dog can transform a disabled child’s life. With few exceptions (and that’s just been my experience), dogs can teach humans in … Continue reading
