What Is A Reverse Sneeze In Dogs?
Have you ever heard of a dog reverse sneezing? I never did until years ago when I witnessed our dog Bear doing something very odd that seemed uncomfortable for him. I quickly made a vet appointment only to find out he was having a reverse sneeze episode and would be completely fine. I remember Dr. P.

4 Easy Steps To Help You Get Organized
Happy Thursday everyone! What a week it has been! I’m rushing spring to get here and have been spring cleaning all week!

I even made my spring wreath earlier this year and put it on the front door...

Salt and Pepper Wings

For my new subscribers, I have talked about my cookbook I am working on called Sit, Stay, Eat and this recipe fits in line with the type of cookbook I am writing. The recipes do not require a...
Benefits Of Therapy Dogs In Schools
With Jake and Maggie passing their second TDI test with Thomas as their handler, we can now all volunteer together. I’m so excited because Jake and Maggie are signed up to do some reading classes for the children at two local libraries. What I haven’t been able to do is get them scheduled to volunteer at any schools and universities yet. I think it is so important for the children to see that dogs cannot only be a pet but they can provide comfort when you are nervous or upset. I like...
