Five Golden Retrievers, part of the Lutheran Church Charities K-9
Comfort Dog Ministry, based near Chicago, Ill., were deployed to help
comfort victims and Bostonians earlier this week at the request of the
First Lutheran Church of Boston. The five dogs are part of a group of 67 Golden Retrievers trained as
service dogs that help bring comfort to victims of tragedies such as the
shootings at Sandy Hook. The group was formed with just a few dogs in
2008 following the shooting at Northern Illinois University. |

April 21 - April 27 is National Volunteer week. A time to thank all the wonderful people who volunteer their time, services, energy and resources to support causes they believe in. I personally have volunteered with the San Diego Humane Society for close to 7 years and can't begin to tell you what a rewarding and satisfying experience that has been. I also volunteer with PAWS San Diego and have volunteered with SNAP in the past. Giving your time to an organization you believe in regardless of whether it is animal or people-oriented is a wonderful way to make a difference in this world. |

I just have to share with you the most wonderful book I have been reading by Ted Kerasote, the author of"Merle's Door". In fact, if you loved"Merle's Door"you are going to be blown away by "Pukka's Promise: The Quest for Longer-Lived Dogs" This book has got everything. It is funny, happy, sad, interesting, provocative and loaded with fantastic information for dog owners and lovers. Kerasote did an incredible amount of research putting this book together and the facts he has to share are eye-opening. |

I had a wonderful consultation with a new client the other day I want to share with you, and Valentine's Day is the perfect time.
I met a young dad who just recently adopted his little terrier from the Escondido Humane Society. The furry little guy is just about the cutest little thing I have seen in a long time and very playful and affectionate. I fell in love with him immediately. But what really touched my heart, is that this new pet parent also had a 10 year old daughter. Before they adopted their new little pooch, the dad sat down with his daughter to talk to her about the responsibility and commitment of bringing a pet into the family. |

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. A day to celebrate LOVE! Most people think of the day as a celebration of people love. The Valentine's Day cards available are for husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandchildren, sweethearts, friends, daughters, sons, nieces and nephews, aunts , uncles, and even teachers...but none are designed for our "furry kids". Perhaps that is because our companion animals can't read! Do you think? At any rate, I believe the day should also be a celebration of our love for the wonderful animals that give us unconditional love every day. |
