I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to announce that Lex has a new sister! I was looking on Petfinder at Vizla’s for my cousin and I happened to come across a mix named Leena who looks strikingly like Lex. I forwarded it on to my brother because I thought he’d get a kick [...]

Click on the picture above to go to a great video by Petfinder about how to stop your dog from barking for attention. We are totally guilty of reinforcing this behavior in Stella. She will drop her toys at our feet and bark until we throw it…and a lot of the time we give in [...]

So cool of Apple to highlight the Petfinder iPhone App. It’s easier now than ever to adopt/rescue a dog with Petfinder for iPhone users. If you’re looking to get a dog and need help [...]

I’m kind of obsessed with Jake, a chihuahua/pug mix from the Puppy Bowl! What a complete sweetie! Who else watched the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet? We watch it every year and it flat out makes me happy. The thing that makes me the happiest is that the puppies and other animals featured were found [...]
A year ago today we rescued Stella…our lovable, slightly crazy little girl! I still can’t believe that Don agreed to get a third dog! She came to the rescue we got her from as a surrender from a puppy mill. Apparently she was the result of an accidental breeding between an Italian Greyhound and a [...]

So there were a lot of things that I was clueless about when I got my first dog, Zoey back in 2004. The biggest thing that I learned from getting her was to never again go into a pet store because by getting her there I supported the horrific puppymill industry. There were other things [...]

They got not one, but two German Shepherd puppies from a Backyard Breeder, yet seemed to be completely uneducated about/prepared for dog ownership. I see that on tonight’s show they have to bring one of their new dogs to [...]

I am so excited about going to get Stella today…thought I’d document the trip! Finally, we meet Stella! Car ride home… Meeting Zoey and Leroy! We couldn’t be more thrilled! What a great day!
My husband has been quoted as saying, “we can either get another dog or have kids”. Well…not having kids is not an option, so I had put the idea of getting a third dog out of my mind. The thing is that lately he’s been saying things that lead me to believe that he would [...]
