Two years ago today, my husband and I rescued Greta, and our lives have never been the same since. Sure, it was hard in the beginning–after all, she was a puppy with no experiences outside of living in a wire crate 23 hours a day. Slowly, she learned how to relax and live in a [...]

I am shocked and saddened by the story of Chai, a 10-year-old lab mix, and his owner, Daniel Rechelbacher, who is not only trying to make a better life for his dog, but also hold a corporation accountable for a serious, grievous and potentially deadly wrongdoing.  I’ve excerpted the story from Daniel’s blog, in the hopes [...]

One of my husband’s biggest issues with getting a dog was the fact that said dog would inevitably “burn” our back yard when it went potty.

Owners Brenda and Chris Lynch started the winery in 1995, and as if their company name isn’t enough, they also care for Patch, a rescue ex-racing Greyhound from New Zealand. Mutt Lynch Winery sources its grapes from several [...]

I admit it–I’m still a wee bit afraid of the dark. Add to that the fact that there is a dog and two cats roaming around in my house at all hours, and let’s just say that shedding a little light on the path to the bathroom can help avoid stepping on or in something I’d [...]
