Pugs – A Small but Mighty Service Dog

A few weeks ago my husband, mother-in-law and I went to our local county fair here in San Diego (previously known as the “Del Mar Fair”, it was a great day!).  As we were getting ready to leave I saw something that I had never seen before.  It was a Pug dog wearing its service harness [...]

Handsome “Ransom”

Handsom Ransom!  He is one very lucky boy.
Our brother and sister-in-law found him wondering the streets of their neighborhood about 2 years ago.  His owners could not be found, so they don’t know if he was lost or if he was abandoned. 
They took this lovable boy in and named him Ransom.  He is happy, easy going, [...]

Finding Peace After Pet Loss

Meet Sid Korpi, an all around talented lady. She is an editor, writer, journalist, English teacher, actor, and ordained minister/animal chaplain.  I came to know her because of her wonderful book “Good Grief: Finding Peace After Pet Loss“.  She was inspired to write this book after the loss of her beloved Westie Ludwig.
I have written previous post [...]

Dog Saves Human, For Love

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels.  I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.  I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid. 
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little [...]

Taking a pet with special health needs to the veterinary [...]

Proactive Pet Loss Grief

This is Angel.  You may have read about her a few posts ago.  She lost her life at the young age of 4½ in an unexpected and tragic event.
Whether it is an accident or you have had to put your loyal companion to sleep, as it so often happens, unfortunately it leaves a terrible image in your mind that [...]

Dogs & Babies

 
Dogs and Babies, they just go hand in hand!
 
Or maybe, head and head. Either way, these loyal pet companions are truly mans, and babies, best friends.
There is no way you can doubt that these babies are going to be well taken care of.  If this doesn’t say love, then I don’t know what does.♥♥♥

Handsome Bailey Boy!

Okay, not to be out done by his ever so cute cousin Penny, this is Bailey!  Bailey is obviously a very patient and Loyal Pet and faithfully entertains another one of my nieces, Randi.
Bailey loves to play dress up, although he said he would never go Trick-or-Treating again with Randi because she took all his candy!
Bailey [...]

Loyal Companions Come In All Shapes & Sizes!

Meet Penny. Penny is my niece Megan’s furry friend and loyal companion. I have never been around bulldogs before but this little cutie won me over.
 I was visiting during the holidays and this lovable bundle of wrinkles was front and center in everything we did. She knows not to cross the line that goes into [...]

Their Final Days – Consider Pre-Paying

It is so hard dealing with your Pet Loss under any circumstance, but it just seams to add insult to injury on the day that you have to put down your beloved pet.  It’s not hard only on you, your spouse or family who is there with you, but it is not pleasant for the [...]

Dealing with Pet Loss Grief for Children

Dealing with the loss of a pet is always hard, but it is especially hard on children.  As a parent, it may be especially hard on you feeling the hurt for your child and trying to determine how to best explain the loss.
Fortunately, there are several very good books that help you as a parent [...]

An Angel with a Stubborn Streak

She was a treasured gift from my youngest child, my daughter.

Well Wishes for my Friend

Today I received a very sad phone call from my friend.  She had just lost her beloved dog in a sudden terrible tragedy.  My heart aches for her and I know nothing can bring back her loyal companion, but maybe there can be some comfort to help heal her families pain with the kind thought from others.
Years [...]

Adopt Your Next Furry Companion

For me, that’s easier said than done.  I want so badly to have another furry baby to love, but at the same time, I am afraid to open my heart to the probable inevability that I will be hurt again. Even more than that, I don’t want to “choose” who comes home with me and who does not.
Every [...]

Joe’s Jacob Gunner “Jake”

6/7/90 – 3/15/2004
I met Jake when I met my husband Joe. Jake was 12 years old by then. He was Joe’s side kick- always with him all day and all night. Up until that moment I was fairly scared of dogs- especially big ones like Jake. Jake was large for his breed (German Shorthaired Pointer) [...]

Pennee Lane

Pennee Lane
Jan 17, 1995 – Sept 27, 2008
 Pennee Lane came to me in February 1996, abused, broken and without the will to live. She was brought to me by my Aunt who lives in Kentucky and had one of her cousins. Living in a small town in a “holler” in Kentucky affords you the privilege [...]

The Loss of a Pet

We decided it was time for him to be free of the pain and suffering and sent him into God’s hands.

Digby

When we arrived, there were several puppies, all cute and cuddly, but one stood out from the rest…
