Raising Healthy Dogs

Having dogs in my life has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. But I have to say, it isn’t always easy financially. In fact, the rising cost of dog guardianship and overall economic down-turn has, unfortunately, led to many people turning over their pets to shelters. Personally, for me, I cannot imagine a situation where I would ever give up my dogs but some people become so overwhelmed with life they feel their only option is to give up the dog. So let’s talk about the true cost of raising a dog.

August 11, 2003 was the worst day of my life. That was the day I had to put by my best boy, Cooper, to sleep. Cooper was my first dog. I never knew what I was missing in my life until I met him and now a mere 13 years later he was gone.
