I continue to contemplate about how horrible Hurricane Dorian was to the people, animals, and environment of the Bahamas. I am a Southern Californian now living, and most likely remaining, in South Florida, and I’ve been through both earthquakes and hurricanes. Both are frightening, and both get more devastating in tandem with strength. Hurricane Irma was the worst I’d been through and it was a category 3. My seven dogs and I were trapped in a friend’s hurricane proof house {Read More}
The Humane Society of Grand Bahamas Hurricane Dorian Devastation
September 5, 2019 by
I have been friends with Tip Burrows for well over a decade. Tip is the hard working director of the Humane Society of the Grand Bahamas and is now facing massive clean-up and picking up the pieces that Hurricane Dorian left behind.

She was 12 years old then, so she would have been 16 years old today had I been so lucky to have her still. I post my dogs birthdays in my Google calendar so I’m emailed reminders. Most birthdays I {Read More}
Dog Training With Your Valentine
February 14, 2019 by
Today is St. Valentine’s Day and as far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way to share unconditional love than with your dog. They’re always ready with a wag of their tails for a new adventure. Here’s a sweet Labrador Retriever puppy who is a recent graduate of the Love Wags A Tail puppy board-and-train program giving us his all. Speaking of love, he had plenty to give and he also loved training. Of course, we offer some very tasty {Read More}
