Twilight Pets
A woman in her late 20s bringing in a lifelong best friend. A gray hair lady carting in the furry person who's been there for her for years. An old lady who spent her entire Twilight years with a little miniature schnauzer by her side. These are some of the most rewarding appointments that I've had the pleasure of checking in.

The Dog that Saved my Life
The day my dog, Denali, saved my life is definitely my fondest memory of her. She is my unofficial service animal and I highly recommend you get one of your own. You never know when their unconditional love, dedication, and steadfast companionship will come in handy. Dogs are known for saving the lives of humans for many years running. They can even be trained to do so in a number of ways. The course of action she took to rescue me would probably be considered a non-traditional method, with no training required.

Meeting Denali
I remember the first time I met my best friend in life and I will cherish that memory forever. I walked into her previous owner’s home and she barked at me timidly, then circled around my person, growling. Her owner, Matthew, said, “Denali, it’s o.k. girl!” Obediently, with her tail between her legs, she walked to the corner of the room and laid down, watching my every move. The humans talked for a while as she laid there in her safe place, watching me, sizing up my intentions within this house.

My Goose Caboose
I remember the evening she came into this world. My father's dog was heavily pregnant and had been pacing and panting for most of the afternoon. We knew she was going to have her puppies soon, though we hadn't expected her to start having them right on my younger sister's lap. The eight year old had been running her hand through the course black fur of the shepherd/lab mutt, when suddenly a mortified look crossed her face; “She peed on me!” Was the screech of indignation. But when Tally stood up, rather than a puddle of pee, there was a small squirming mass still in its birthing sac. A thick boy that would fondly be named Fat Cheese (a name that his future owners would thankfully change). The rest of the evening was a blurred memory of excitement, and by morning our house had twelve new lives in it; eight males and four females.

A Last, Lasting Memory
My most cherished moment with my Catahoula was her last. I lied my belly on the cold tile of the vet office, face to face with Roxy while she rested on her favorite blanket. I pressed my forehead to hers, holding her paws while a final drug injected into her vein. Her last, deep breaths brushed across my nose in a warm wash. I kissed her snout, tears falling to dance down her fur. Roxy's big eyes closed peacefully.

Posie Girl
I made a life chancing decision to foster and then adopt my sweet Lab Pit mix, as I like to call her Posie girl, monkies, Po Po, and many other adoring names. This little one came to me frightened and small, but in no time became a fiery puppy.
