The Importance of Microchipping – It’s National Check the Chip Day!

The American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Animal Hospital Association has declared today, August 15th, National Check the Chip Day.

I’m the kind of dog Mom that constantly worries something might spook my dog and she’ll run off or get lost if her leash breaks. What if she slips out of her harness?

Flashback Friday Bloopers

On this Flashback Friday I’ve decided to show you a few of Sadie’s puppy pictures that didn’t turn out quite the way I planned. Every time I come across these photos I giggle, but I’ve never thought about showing them to others until now. Hopefully some of these will put a smile on your faces too.
