I usually don’t collaborate with other bloggers when it comes to writing a post because what I write is based on my experiences, education, and point of view, but this time I made an exception because this has to do with rescuing dogs, so here it goes: My names is Sara Jane, I volunteer for…

Basic Training Part II
Bella completed her Basic Training/Good Manners class on Saturday, 3/01/14 and to say that we are proud of her would be an understatement. With Casey, my first dog, I took Obedience I, Obedience II, and Canine Good Citizen. With Alex, my current furry kid, I took Obedience I. Why do I do this? What’s the…
Alex, My Almost 12-Year-Old Canine Companion
Alex is our second dog and she’ll be turning 12 on May 5th. We got her when she was a little over 3 months old. At that time, I never knew nor imaged how much she would change my life, but she did and I am glad and grateful for that. Here are just a…
Grey Muzzle? I Don’t Think So
The cute lab in the above picture is Bingo. Would you believe me if I told you that he is 14 years old? Probably not. Usually dogs with dark hair show very easy, as they age, grey muzzles, but Bingo is one of those rare exceptions because most of his hair is black and shiny….
Walter, My Aussie Companion
Every time I see Walter, this is what comes to mind first, “Que guapo,” in Spanish. Best translation since a literal translation would end up having a different meaning is, “So handsome.” Walter will be staying with us for a few days so I am crossing my fingers that the weather is nice and we…
Go Away Winter
For the first 15 years of my life, I lived in a tropical climate. My past time was riding my bike, going to the beach almost every day, and/or playing with my neighbors. I never liked nor thought that I could live in a place where winters were as bad as what we are experiencing…
Alex’s ACL Injury – Part 2
It’s been about 2 1/2 months since Alex started to wear a brace from Woundwear, and this is her progress so far: Alex was only able to walk for 3 straight minutes while wearing the brace and was so exhausted that she slept for hours after that short walk Nowadays, when the day is not…
Burn Off Pent-Up Energy With A Backpack
If you happen to have a high-energy dog like Alex used to be, and nowadays Bella, you certainly have to look for ways to drain their energy. In order to keep my sanity, I had to make sure that Alex walked, 1 – 1 1/2 hour twice a day, ran, twice a week, and do…
One Month With Bella
Today, Monday, is exactly one month since we picked up Bella from BARCS, and to say that she has changed a lot would be an understatement so I’d like to share her progress with you and hope to get some feedback. Walking – She did not know how to walk. She pulled every which way,…
Basic Training Part I
Years ago, I took Casey, our first dog, and Alex, our current dog for basic training, and I truly enjoyed the classes and the time I spent with my dogs doing our “homework.” I think that living with a dog should be an enjoyable, enriching, learning experience, but we, humans, must do our part. How? …
