The Unconditional Love of a Dog

Helping animals in need. That's what we are all about.
We look for ways to volunteer our time, ways to give back to homeless animals, and ways to
teach children how and why we should respect and care for our pets.

When I come home I can hear them inside barking with excitement. I can hear their paws dancing on the floor, waiting for me to open that door.
And when I do, they are as happy to see me after an hour, as they would be if I were gone for a week!
A dog is always happy we're home or happy to be out with us, happy and content to be right by our sides.

They never complain. They are love, positivity and selflessness.
They show us a love so focused and pure of spirit, that it is boundless.

Can we be like a dog? Can we have unconditional love for them and for others?
We can learn, and we can teach others. Being a positive person is a choice we make.
We have to begin to change our mindset and see the world through a dog's eyes.

When you open that door, make the decision to be positive. Take a beat, take a deep breath and
spend a few minutes giving your dogs unconditional love, and your undivided attention.
Our bodies respond in positive ways when we focus on happiness and get out of our heads and the tedious chores of everyday.

Don't our pets deserve to be shown the same love they have for us?
Taking the time to be a positive light in your pet's life, will only benefit everyone. You, your pets and your friends and family will reap the rewards of a more loving and giving, you!

Loving like a dog equals living a life of love.

Broken Hearts: An Anti-Bullying Campaign

Today, I want to talk about a topic that has been, well, talked about a lot-- Bullying! Bullying is never okay. In any form and to any living being. It is NEVER okay. We know this, as adults. But, do we really follow what our heart is telling us to do? Do we help others when they are being picked on or laughed at, or cyber bullied? Do we teach our children that we should never bully others, and to stand up to a bully, even if it means telling an adult? I had an experience with London being bullied at the start of the school year in her new school. This had never happed before, and let me tell you, I was furious! London immediately told me when I picked her up from school that day, and my husband and I talked with her teacher that evening. And we talked about how it made her feel, and how wrong those two girls were for doing that to her. Her amazing teacher, to her credit, handled the situation rapidly and with the concern and anger of, not only a teacher,...

Frozen Hearts, Forgotten Lives: The Peril Of Pets In Winter

Keeping Your Pets Safe: Why They Belong Inside During Freezing Weather When temperatures drop, your pets rely on you to protect them from the cold. Leaving them outside in freezing conditions is not only dangerous for their health—it can also lead to serious legal consequences. Here’s why keeping your pets indoors during winter isn’t just a kindness; it’s a responsibility. 1. Freezing Temperatures Are Life-Threatening Dogs and cats are susceptible to frostbite, hypothermia, and other cold-related injuries. Contrary to popular belief, fur is not enough to keep them warm. Frostbite can damage their ears, tails, and paws, while hypothermia can cause their organs to shut down. Even hardy breeds like Huskies need proper shelter and care to survive extreme conditions. 2. IT'S THE LAW In many states and cities, it’s illegal to leave pets outside in extreme weather. If a neighbor sees your dog or cat left in the cold, they can—and often will—call animal control, the Humane Society, or ev...
