The Importance of Keeping Your Dog Mentally Stimulated
Raise your hand if your dog has ever pestered you, following you from room to room with a bored face? If so, rest assured, you are not alone! Boredom and pent-up energy are the most common reasons dogs develop behavioral problems. Most dogs living in urban settings spend a good chunk of their time alone, and the biggest perk of their day may be seeing their beloved owners coming home. This is a moment of great excitement and celebration and can often be too much to handle for a tired owner who has spent eight hours in the office.

The Silence of the Dingo
The first dog I remember bonding with was my Grandparent’s dog Rusty. Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of sitting happily outside in the dirt while he leaned against me—my arm thrust across his sun warmed body. He had a capacity for stillness that is unusual in most dogs, and we’d sit for long periods together in silent contemplation.

Heart-shaped Hedgehog
For me, the year 2020 started and went on for a while in a very difficult way, and Covid was not the only one to blame. 2020 opened with circumstances that caused me so much agony I finally built the courage to extract myself from them. While I had newfound freedom and it was the best decision, such a change still brought pain and heartache.

Adam and the Ice Storm
I named the gecko Adam because he was my first gecko, so why not name him after the first man? He and I lived in our own little house in Southern Ohio. I know some people don't believe you can have an emotional connection with a gecko, but Adam and I had a bond. We traveled together from Iowa to Ohio. He was my one and only pet at the time, and I did whatever I could to make him comfortable and happy.

5 Simple Ways to Get Your Dog to Pay Attention
Do you find yourself trying hopelessly to get your dog’s attention? Does “in one ear and out the other” sound familiar? Or does your dog find it easy to listen to you until he sees the dreaded mail carrier? Whatever the case, it’s important that us owners are able to capture and hold our dog’s attention. Just imagine the consequences if our dog ran onto a busy road and was not able to listen to us calling him back!

In It Together
Over the years our house has seen many animals come and go. Some were fostered before moving on to their forever homes, some stayed until they crossed the rainbow bridge. All had one thing in common, they were rescued from bad situations. Some neglected, some abused, some homeless. We took in any animal in need, including, but not limited to, a fawn, rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, a pig, and even a few humans. I even trap mice live and take them far enough away to not come back. I always take them in the morning, hoping to give them the best chance to find adequate housing by nightfall.
