Karri lost her heart dog, Blade, in September 2007 after six wonderful years together. She memorialized him shortly thereafter with a tattoo and loves him deeply to this day.
Our Dogs, Our Hearts: Blade and Karri
Sophie is Adopted
Snickers and I are halfway home from having delivered Sophie to her new home in southern Florida. Yes, I drove ALL THAT WAY to take her personally instead of putting her on a rescue transport. She has a tendency to be anxious and need reassurance about new situations; a transport would have been too stressful […]
Our Dogs, Our Hearts: Wolf And Janet
I asked my blog-friend Janet to talk to me about how Wolf came into her life, Wolf’s personality, and why he stands out as her heart dog.
So What Exactly Is A “Heart Dog” Anyway?
In my opinion, your heart dog is that once in a lifetime – maybe twice if you’re truly blessed – soul mate dog. He or she is the one you click with similarly to, but different from, how people in love click. There’s an understanding, a bond stronger than most, and a special level of communication.

Sophie is Available for Adoption
I took all three dogs to the vet today. Sophie’s checkup went well. She gave the vet tech kisses and she wasn’t anxious about anything, even when they microchipped her with that huge needle! The vet says she’s very healthy and in great shape. He’s not too concerned with the “fly biting” behavior. Since she […]
A Good Day for Dogs
Today has been a good day for dogs and a lazy day for me. Friday, I spent time figuring out what I do, why I do it, and what I really should focus on. Yesterday, I ran errands and did chores – a typical Saturday. Normally, on Sunday, I would work… work on rescue stuff, […]
Say Hello to Sophie
Sophie’s owner had to leave the country for work, so she is living with us until we find her the perfect forever home. She’s a crazy, but smart, 11 month old Shiba Inu. She has crazy puppy energy and wants to play non-stop all day. She would love a home with another playful dog for company!
