It’s been three years this month since I lost my beloved Czarina. No matter how many dogs we may have in our lives, there will always be that ONE who sings to your heart, who knows you better than you know yourself, and whose unflinching love and loyalty makes you wonder how you ever deserved an alter-ego so dear. I already had three pups, two Bostons & a Doberman, when Czarina came into my life. I like even numbers, so I needed a 4th pup. Working from home made it easy to care for the...
This is one of those feel good stories to be shared. Rufus, a deaf Blue-Heeler, escaped the family home and went missing. Rufus’ owner, Marisa Martinez, was frantic and began looking for him, finally enlisting the aid of dog rescue group, Team Frijoles. Rufus remained missing for 11 months, until he happened to be seen by a motorcyclist, who then snapped a picture and sent it to the rescue.

I begin with the moral of this story: never underestimate the difference one person can make in the life of an animal. This is Missy.

Having people like and retweet , in...
The story of “ David” who wouldn’t give up “Hope”I’m knee-deep in my own hound problems. But they are minuscule when compared to a story that caught my attention on the website, “LifewithDogs.tv“.We all come across stories out of the blue that impact us in emotional ways. This particular story was passed on to the Lifewithdogs website administrator. The author first met “David” in early February while bicycling in below-zero weather in Boulder, Colorado. He stopped to talk with him and learned that “David” had suffered a severe back injury in his job which left...
Rufo, the shelter dog, waits six years for his perfect personThis is a brief story and video that will warm your heart and feed your soul.I found this originally on Lifewithdogs.tv, which, by the way, is a great site for both informative videos and et cetera if you love dogs.We’ve all read the “Lassie, Come Home” type of stories and seen the woman rescues a dog, man loves dog videos, and this one is in the latter category. But, this one IS different. A municipal shelter homes a dog, Rufo, for six years and doesn’t give up...
