We have teamed up with Doggie Zen & Den (facebook link)

What most dog parents want you to know.

What most dog parents want you to know.

As dog parents, others may not understand our love for our furry children. If someone says “it’s just a dog”, they clearly have not felt the love and companionship that comes with having them. Dogs have more loyalty, personality and love than most people I know. They are family. To us, we love them as children and we only get them for a short time in our lives. To dogs, we are their whole world…
