Do Microchips MIGRATE?

Mom — Thu, 03 May 2012 13:01:20 +0000

I am one of the most paranoid people I know about keeping my dogs safe. But I also believe that no matter what I do towards this end — unexpected things do happen and they’re not always good things. I’m paranoid, not perfect. I will never forget the day Riley at about 10-11 months old [...]

A Dog’s Plea

Deb — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 05:11:58 +0000

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have [...]

Dishing Up Meals KONG STYLE!

Deb — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:37:09 +0000

Kongs are favorite toys for millions of dogs all over the country — this is our Nissa with her Kong. Some dogs carry their Kongs wherever they go, like a woman carries a purse or a small child carries their blankie. It’s the old “don’t leave home without it” routine. People throw Kongs to their [...]

Does YOUR Puppy Have JAWS SYNDROME?

Deb — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:04:30 +0000

I’d like you to meet Jaws — oops — I mean Dexter, a Chow-Shepherd mix puppy currently about six months old who’s family calls him “Dex” for short. Isn’t he just absolutely one of the most precious things on four paws you’ve ever seen? Dex’s owner, Dan and his family, think so too, except for [...]

Hydrotherapy and the Bone Crusher

Deb — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 07:47:24 +0000

As you all know, in September our guy Riley was diagnosed with severe bi-lateral hip dysplasia meaning both hips were affected. He underwent surgery at the Spring Harbor Animal Hospital in Madison, WI for his left hip on September 19th, 2011 so he’s now just over seven weeks post-surgery. The first 4 weeks or so [...]

A Man with Three Great German Shepherds

Deb — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:59:03 +0000

I’m so excited to have been personally asked by the Author, Mark Butterworth, to review his new book! I do apologize to Mark for being so long in holding up my end of the bargain and my delay has absolutely nothing to do with the book – just a busy life! So, here is what [...]

I Died Today

Deb — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 12:39:13 +0000

Sometimes you come across something that just tears your heart out, chops it up in little pieces, tosses it on the floor and stomps on it. This is one of them for me. This is the story of a puppy who died. He didn’t have to die, but he had either a very ignorant or [...]

Hip Dysplasia Strikes Riley

Deb — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 09:08:28 +0000

This post is sad for me to write but I think it’s important to share our story so that hopefully, others can learn from it. We were hoping against all hope that our dogs would never suffer from hip dysplasia but we recently learned that our Riley is not among the shorter list of lucky [...]

Owner Shoots German Shepherd

Deb — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:24:01 +0000

I’m absolutely furious! I watched a news video from June of this year about a man who leashed up his five year old female German Shepherd and shot her in the neck. After he shot her, he put her in a kennel to die. Why? Simply because she relieved herself in the house! There is [...]

How is This Justice for Courage?

Deb — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 19:28:43 +0000

It’s been over a year since Courage, the nearly starved to death German Shepherd in Orange County, California was found and rescued. There was delay after delay in the court proceedings and charges against the person Courage was supposed to be able to trust the most — and who let him down to the point [...]
