Online Store Launch With Barkville Bakery
I’m so excited to tell you that my on-line store has launched! I am working with three amazing women owned businesses: Barkville Bakery, Puppy Paws Coffee Company, and The Pampered Pooches. They not only came highly recommended to me and once I tried their products, I knew why! I reached out to them about working with me and here we are! I am now carrying their products on my store for you to take a look. Barkville Bakery is owned and operated by animal lover Kayla. She combined her love...
Traveling With Your Pet
Are you tired of this wintery weather and looking forward to spring? Do you have any camping trips planned this year with you and your pet? Before you and your BFF hit the trails, make a check list of what you need to bring. Don’t forget any essentials. I’ve made a list of things to think about and items to bring to prepare you for what could go wrong. Can you tell I’m excited for warm, sunny weather? I’m already thinking of camping trips and vacations!!! Well, not really camping trips...

I hope so because I've got a fun one that I'll be working on tomorrow for Wednesday's blog post! I've got...
Salt and Pepper Wings
I had a completely different post to put out today but had to rearrange my posting schedule to include this one. Thomas wanted wings with just salt and pepper. I said…are you sure? I felt like I need to add more ingredients but he said…sometimes less is more and I said….sometimes you are right :-). 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...
Careers Involving Animals
What did you want to be when you grew up? Did you stay on track and become what you always wanted or did you veer off choosing another profession? I wanted to be a veterinarian but as time went on, I changed my mind and went into business. I left the corporate world but the profession I chose allowed me to gain the skills I needed to start my blog. I always say you are never to old to change careers, find another passion or pick up a new hobby! Now that I’m advocating for animal healthy...
What Is Dog Flipping?
Can you imagine letting your dog out and after a few minutes wondering why he hasn’t barked at the door to be let in only to find he is gone!!! The chain is laying on the ground, the gate is closed to the fence, no one has seen your sweet pup and there is no sign of your pet anywhere. You know he has been stolen and panic sets in! Pet Theft Awareness Day — a day created by Last Chance For Animals (LCA) to raise awareness about pet theft. On this day, February 14th, officials educate the...
Road Dogs and Rescue
I’m very excited to talk about an interview that I did with Alyssa Thai, Social Media Marketing for Road Dogs and Rescue at https://www.roadogsandrescue.org. I contacted Road Dogs via a direct message through Instagram wanting to know more about the organization and how I could help spread the word on saving the lives of these poor animals left starved, sick, and abandoned. Alyssa was so kind in answering my questions and provided links for more detail. She provided helpful links and a...
Beef Taco Bake
Every once in a while, I get a craving for Mexican. I love going and getting the white cheese, nachos, and a shrimp burrito with extra pica de Gallo! Yummmmmm! Thomas isn't a big fan of going out for Mexican but that man LOVES cheese. I was trying to come up with a snack for lunch last week for the two of us and I said...you are going to love what I'm going to make you! I opened up the refrigerator and sitting in front of me was a large bag of shredded extra sharp cheese and the idea of...
Dying Your Dog’s Fur; Cute or Cruel?
Thomas and I went into town this weekend for lunch and the Pittsburgh Auto Show at the David Lawrence Convention Center. If you have never been to a car show, I think it is something fun to try especially if you are in the market for a new car like we are. We don't get into the city much but when we do, we see some sights and this weekend I saw some very colorful dogs. I have to say that I'm one of those people that when I see a dog that has had its fur dyed, I feel sorry for it. I don’t...
