About Me

betsy and cheri

Betsy and me, in earlier years. She went to the Rainbow Bridge in January 2016 at age 15. I still miss her. Every day.

I have been an animal lover all my life, and my first memory of experiencing the bond of love a pet can provide was from a French Poodle from Germany when I was four years old. From that time on, I knew that there was a special relationship we share with our pets.  From those childhood experiences I formed a sense of respect and appreciation for all the animals on our planet.

In my adult years, I have volunteered with Pets on Wheels with two of my wonderful dogs. Those experiences were priceless, and they will be in my memories and in my heart forever. I have also participated in many animal rescue causes and am an avid supporter of service dogs for veterans and for the infirm.

It is my hope to help people celebrate the love for their pets and to also provide information that will help their pets live long and happy lives.  In this blog I will do my best to honor pets that have made huge differences in the lives of others.  From stories of animal rescue and the amazing animal/human bond, to pet caregiving tips and product reviews, I am happy to be here for you.

Me and Arco von Portenfels, the French Poodle from Germany. He is the reason why I love dogs so much.
