Home Delivery & Menu Consults: Q&A with Darwin’s #ad
In addition to home delivery, did you know Darwin's provided menu consultation as a service? Yep! So I talked to James Holiday, a menu consultant, this month. I did research prior to setting up my food delivery five years ago and a lot has changed with the dogs! It's a good time for me to re-visit the meals I'm feeding the dogs!

Senior Health & Wellness Article Round-Up
I spend time writing blog posts but also write health and wellness articles for Rover.com - a pet sitting/dog walking resource found in cities throughout the country. Someone asked me recently about the articles I've written about senior dogs and it dawned on me that I've never done a quick round-up post. These are some of my fave articles about seniors.

A HYGGEE Holiday Card from Minted #ad
“Holiday Kisses” is the theme for this card and I specifically wanted a photo of the dogs that represented time with loved ones in a relaxed, environment. The trips we take the coast are exactly that. There is nothing more HYGGE than spending time with the three hounds and since our oldest dog is 13 years old I try to cherish the time we have together. Every. Second. Counts.

Pet Sits & Dog Walks: Three Reasons To Hire Me
I'm a creature that enjoys animals - perhaps sometimes over humans. While I freelance write as my full-time gig, I'm officially in the dog walking and pet sitting business starting NOW. The shingle is out and the husband supportive. I'm part of the Rover network. Some of you know that I wrote for Rover's blog and I've grown to love the brand and the resources they have for Rover sitters and dog walkers.

What Happens After Your Dog Fractures a Tooth
As a former Vet Tech, I believe that anesthesia is essential for all dental procedures. Walter was recently in for his annual dental cleaning and we discovered that his carnassial or pre-molar was fractured. Poor Walter! He didn't show any signs of pain. We would not have had any idea without X-Rays and his annual cleaning!

When Bruiser’s interdigital cysts on his paws don’t flare up I feel like I’ve won the lottery. He has a terrible “reaction” to Prednisone and the less I need to put him on steroids, the better. I’m fairly confident he...
