On a walk, when Rosie sees another dog, or perhaps a cat or squirrel she’d like to chase, she lets out this high-pitched yodel where she jumps up on her hind legs – out in public – all eyes on us – embarrassing… Other than barking or yipping, what language does a dog have? Language … Read more
We love our dogs, our fur babies, and they love us. We take care of them, play with them, hug, and sometimes even kiss them. We take them for walks, for rides, they sleep with us – they’re family. One fateful day they’ll return to whence they came and we’ll be more than sad. We’ll … Read more
