It struck my friend as funny that before we left the house I told my dog where I was going first, and then where I would head next, and then where I'd be having dinner, and then the time I expected to be back home.  I told her I do this all the time...

Today is Bring Your Dog To Work Day.  It's a relatively new thing that is catching on.  Apparently Millennials LOVE having their pets with them as they work and a lot of workplaces are allowing them.  If you're allergic or afraid of dogs, stay with me...

Did you see the video clip of the beagle who got distracted during her agility competition?  Poor Mia.  She didn't win the show but DID win a lot of hearts.  Everyone, except maybe the judges, could understand that she was just being a dog...

My house was like a pet hotel this weekend.  The terrier arrived Friday and stayed til Saturday.  Right when she left, the corgi mix arrived.  He’ll be staying for a week while his Mom is away.  I’m happy to help the owners of both these dogs because I know they want their fur babies to be safe and happy, getting the right kind of food and exercise...

With tomorrow being "Clear The Shelters Day," I want to give you a nudge.  If you've been sitting on the fence, please at least visit a shelter or go to Petfinder and e-mail some folks about your possible interest in pet adoption.  By talking with other dog owners or fosters, you'll get a sense of what day to day life is with a dog...

The moment my dog ran away is ingrained in my memory bank from childhood.  My friend asked if she could hold the leash but didn't have a tight grip.  Candy dog pulled and off she went.  Gone for a couple of weeks.  I felt I had lost a best friend...

You know that every Thursday we have a Pet-of-the-Week up for adoption. But did you know that there are larger animals hoping to find forever homes too? March 1st is National Horse Protection Day. It was founded in 2005 to bring attention to the needs of thousands of abused, unwanted, and neglected horses across the country...

Meet Lucy, this week's Pet Of The Week  with Shawn & Sue.

On this "Take Your Dog To Work Day," I thought it would be neat to salute our four-legged friends here, online.  While I don't have a dog currently, I have such fond memories of the 3 years I lived with Caira before she passed.  And I'm forever grateful that she taught me a really important life lesson:  "stop and smell the roses."
