My husband and I recently spent a fun weekend adoption hoping.  We are not looking to add another addition to the family.  We simply enjoy looking at all of the beautiful animals and donating where we can.

Stray Rescue St. Louis was hosting their annual "The One" event.  All pet adoptions were just $14!  And they do not let people traipse in and out of the areas where the dogs are kept.  Instead, they have a large binder that contains photos and biographies of all of their…

I love to connect with people via social media and blogs.  As I was perusing people on LinkedIn, I came across Mark Barone.  This man has started a phenomenal project called "An Act of Dog."

Barone is creating a memorial for dogs that have been euthanized in shelters simply because their "time was up."  He will be traveling across the United States and hand-painting 5,500 dog portraits.  Why 5,500?  This is the number of dogs that are euthanized daily.

Adriel and I have been volunteering with Therapy Dogs International for four years.  As a certified Therapy Dog, Adriel is allowed to visit hospitals, schools, and other locations.  She provides touch therapy to patients of nursing homes and hospice centers and lends an ear to children in local kids clubs.

Right now and in the coming months, a series of wearable devices for dogs will hit the market. This first generation of tech collars can measure and report a dog’s heart rate, respiratory rate, rest patterns, calorie burning and more.  You’ll be able to see this info from your mobile phone or tablet, and even email it to your veterinarian. There are all kinds of ways this can come in handy.  For example, let’s say you need to travel and leave your dog in the care of a friend or relative. You…

Do you think crowdfunding can save a dog’s life… in a year? A month? 24 hours? 

First, what actually is crowdfunding?  It’s collecting donations from a large pool of people – “the crowd” – for a specific cause, usually through the Internet. It involves three groups of people 1) those raising the money for their cause 2) the crowd of people who support the cause and 3) the website that provides the infrastructure to collect and distribute the money.

It can have…

I want to say a heart-felt thank you to two wonderful ladies today. First to Dr. Connie Numbers for the wonderful interview we did last night on her radio show, "Kickin it Up a Notch in Life, Love, & Spirit."
