I’m stepping out of my comfort zone today. Normally I share information about fundraising events that support animals, whether it be shelters, service dogs, working dogs, or even the occasional cat cause, I’m a strong believer in lending a helping paw. But today I’d like to ask you to consider participating in a fundraiser that […]
Grab your leashes and head to Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine this Sunday, September 10, for the 23rd Annual Strut Your Mutt to benefit the Animal Welfare Society.

It has come to my attention that despite living at my Grandparents’ lake house for a year now, my Kitty Cousins have yet to go swimming! Mind Blown! If I lived there I would roll out of bed every morning and jump in the lake. In fact if I could I’d spend my whole day […]
