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 Scare for a Good Cause
Regardless of the warm temperatures outside, it’s fall in Midtown Montgomery. The calendar says Mid-October to be exact, and that means a busy time of football games, homecoming dances, fall festivals, and Halloween events. The later lets us have fun getting scared and even raise money for causes we love. The Montgomery Humane Society’s Haunted […]
Our Dog’s Sunday

She brought all kinds of joy and lots of companionship while providing a useful amount of good-natured provocation for our cat. A few months into our new relationship, we noticed that she was scratching her ears. A lot. She made a […]
The Season for Giving
There’s a lot of talk about charity around the holidays, and a lot of giving happens right before the end of the year. We’d like to think that some of that isn’t just for tax purposes. Really, charity and compassion ought to be year-round pastimes. But there’s still something nice about creating a holiday glow […]
Pet Enrichment in Midtown
Pets are adorable creatures, by and large. The presence of puppies or kittens often elicits reflexive ooooohs and aaahhhs (or the newest slang, “sqeeee”). Yet, pet ownership is a serious matter with lasting consequences throughout the animal’s life. Certainly, pet ownership is not for everyone.
