Walk ‘n Wag and the Year of the Brown Earth Dog
Walk ‘n Wag, on October 6, is one of my favorite events of the whole year. I love that having so much fun with our dogs helps raise money for the Montgomery Humane Shelter to help other dogs. I love seeing my friends out in the sunshine at the Blount Cultural Park with their dogs. […]
A Trip About a Dog
Typically, I blog about quaint small towns with delicious pizza or my first trip to a classic tourist destination. But today’s post is a little different. Don’t worry though, there’s still food involved. My husband, David, and I don’t travel much during the holidays, most of our family members live within a half-hour drive. Our […]
Pet Problem-Solving
My rescue efforts have been busy lately with dogs coming in and dogs finding homes, and I have been thinking of all the different needs that the dogs have, and the ways I have learned to help them. I want to share with you some things that I have tried and some tips that I […]
A Hot Tip for Flea Prevention
The dog days of summer – hot enough to stifle even the best of us – are about over. Irma brought us a taste of fall that gave us hope! My dogs love to lie in the sun but not when it is coupled with 90 percent humidity. So we are excited at the Chihuahua […]
Our Dog’s Sunday
We’d been saving newspaper for about six weeks, and it was time to take it to the shelter. Sometimes the stack of newspaper gets large enough that you worry about the perceptions that visitors might have. The shelter always wants newspaper to line the puppy cages with, so we loaded up the dog (because she […]
Midtown has Gone DogGone Crazy!
On Tuesday evening, August 1 at 6:30 the Garden District is going to the dogs with Pups on Parade. POP is an annual event initiated eight years ago by then-president of the neighborhood association John Hagan. John had lived in the Jamaica Plains neighborhood of Boston and had experienced this very successful fun event there. […]
Mysterious Ways
We all know the adage “God works in mysterious ways”. As a rescue director and animal lover from birth, I see God’s hand in so many situations. Sometimes a pet is the one thing that keeps a person from giving up. Sometimes a pet provides security, and sometimes, a pet is the catalyst for a […]
New Owner, New Start for the Biscuits!
We love to go to Biscuits games early in the season, when there’s still a touch of cool spring in the air, and every single professional baseball team is within striking distance of first place. The world is full of promise. This year, we didn’t make it to our first Biscuits game until June, but […]
Happy Spring!
I don’t know about your pets, but mine are thrilled to be able to go outside and soak in this gorgeous weather. As I look in the yard I see tiny sunbathers in little pods. It must feel so good to feel the sunshine after so many rainy cold days! There is new grass to […]
Christmas is Upon Us
Christmas is upon us, with all its warm fuzzies. We have had our first freeze, first fires in the fireplace, and the baking has started. Tis the season of giving, of making happiness, of being grateful. Of using your heart. Since I write about pets, it is only fitting that my eyes are always open […]
