Because April is National Volunteer , Blog the Changes suggested we write about our favorite volunteer or volunteer organization. It should not come as a surprise to anyone reading here that I am going to write about Old Dog Haven. We are taking a break from fostering right now because …
I think everyone needs a “scardey dog” friend. While I have never met Bella or Shiva, getting to know them online has made me much more aware of the scardey dogs we meet. I have noticed two in particular in the last couple of weeks. (Naturally I don’t have pictures …
I don’t expect to do this often, but today, I’m participating in the Follow Up Friday blog hop sponsored by Heart Like a Dog. Though I am following up on posts from a couple of weeks ago, not from this week, but I still think this is really the best …
