I have to admit I get scared when I see a dog left tied up outside, unattended. I know we’re really busy and, sometimes, it seems like there’s no choice. You can’t bring the dog in; they’re too big, the store doesn’t allow dogs, you just have to grab a coffee or a container of milk. Two million dogs were stolen in 2012, almost 10 times more than bicycles!  We have to live our lives and that includes spending quality time with out dogs. That’s why I’m happy to report that I recently came across a brand new dog anti theft… [Continue Reading]

I’ve lived with animals all my life and they’ve always been part of the family. But when I was growing up, no one ever thought about pet insurance. I don’t think it even existed. And once it did, I never really gave it much thought. Like many of us, I have a bit of a jaundiced view of insurance companies.

But for us, the answer is a resounding… [Continue Reading]

The Littlest Pilgrim Yu…um! Thanksgiving is almost here. Hard to believe the way the year is zooming by. Seems to me each year goes by faster and faster.  So like the pilgrims and puritans who celebrated the good harvest and their blessings from the previous year at Plymouth Rock back in 1621, I think it’s important for us to stop, breathe and notice where we are, what we have gratitude for and say a prayer for our own blessings. One sure blessing in my life is little Sophie, my baby girl pup. I’m sure you all feel… [Continue Reading]
