I recently found a bunch of past photos of many of the dogs I’ve discussed recently in this spot. So today I am sharing them here. I know that I have – or have had – more; however I had saved many on external hard drives, and those have failed; I have no access to …

MEET CURLY Curly wasn’t planned. I did something I should never do – perused the Pet Finder website when I was bored. The next thing we knew Pete was on his way to the next county’s shelter to pick up an adorable little guy with whom I was smitten as soon as I saw his …

This week I will be talking about IcyQ – aka Icy – aka Bing. And if you were sad about Casey losing Mick, you will LOVE this one! After Spanky died, Casey and I were dogless. We had a cat, Bruce, who thought he was a dog, but not the same. And I wanted it …
