Keeping Your Senior Dog Healthy With Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind

By //  by Candace Sampson

Most people think I’m kidding when I say that my favourite child is my dog, but my other three children will tell you, it’s no joke. For the last ten years, Honey has been the child that I dote on every single day, and why wouldn’t I? Honey snuggles on command, she’s never been sick, she’s always happy to see me, never cops a surly attitude, and loves me unconditionally. This dog has brought me nothing less than pure joy for the last ten years, and that’s why I take such good care of her …

Hopeful (again) Hearts – Rescue Dog Adoption Tips

By //  by Sarah Robinson

Friday, December 13, 2013. The day I dreaded from the moment we brought her home. Hubs & I had taken our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, aka the #suckhole, to the vet where we unexpectedly spent our final hours with her. At only 6 1/2 years old, cancer had taken hold of her body, attacking her organs. She was bleeding out and would not make it through the weekend. My heart ached. She was our only (fur)babe. Where we went, she went. I vowed never to get another pooch. I needed to heal. I …

Dog Wearing Underwear – Nothing Funnier

By //  by Candace Sampson

Last week, our 7 month old Bernedoodle suddenly became obsessed with his wiener. Not that he's not always obsessed with it, but it was receiving an inordinate amount of affection if you know what I mean. To top it off, our other dog, was picking up the slack when Wookie's tongue needed a rest. Now, I normally don't pay attention to dogs and their disgusting grooming habits but when you're woken up at two in the morning by an intense slurping noise, it's time to investigate. We rolled him …
