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 [...]

No More FREE to Good Home Pets

Deb — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 08:54:26 +0000

I saw an ad on www.freecycle.org the other day that literally made me cringe. “Puppy — Free to Good Home.” It took everything in me to not write the person who posted this and verbally blast them from here to smitherines! With all the information available on why NOT to give pets away– why, why [...]

The Horrors of Animal Cruelty

Deb — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 18:03:46 +0000

There is absolutely no excuse, reason or justification for being cruel to an animal. None. Zip. Nadda. Sadly, it doesn’t ever seem to go away. Almost every day I read or hear of yet another incident where some stupid human was cruel to an animal. You can see horrific true stories of this if you [...]

Venturing into RAW Feeding

Deb — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 11:09:49 +0000

I’m honestly having trouble believing I’m doing this. Hubby had been all for this forever, but I just could not get into the idea of feeding my dogs raw meat. He would toss them a raw meat treat cut from something he was making for dinner or the old “tiger meat” thing that’s so popular [...]
