The devastation of the tornado damage in Oklahoma is too much for many of us to bear. Imagine the countless numbers of lives both human and animal that are affected.

As a volunteer with Moore Pawsibilities, shelters need help. Entire communities are devastated and the loss of life is just...

My neighbors dog has had a profound impact on the lives of my previous Cocker Spaniel and the one who currently shares my life. Can a dog really change your life? (Ive been asked that a time or two). Pet adoptions can have far reaching impact.

Safe, healthy dog treats are a rare breed these days it seems. In many years of working in the pet industry, many dog treats have crossed my desk: Here, try this and your dog will love them. These are the tempting lines that come along with dog treats when companies want me Dexter to try them.

To recap, our we went down the cold laser route and blogged about that in our first entry to this saga.
