My Life in Snapshots!

Mom keeps in touch with Karen and the agency from which she adopted me, SAMS via Facebook. Everyone is very proud that I am not only a great pet but a service and therapy dog. Karen asked Mom if SAMS could share my success story on their website and of course Mom said yes. You will have to go to their website to read the story but we are sharing my life in snapshots here!

National Dog Day

Today, August 26th is National Dog Day!

Mom and I speak frequently on the benefits of dogs as pets, as therapy dogs, as service dogs and as a variety of working dogs. Dogs are fabulous pets for the general public providing companionship, a reason to exercise (walk), stress release for blood pressure, and a link to the increase of positive endorphins. We do so much more than just wag our tails!!

Mom has told you that I was a rescue dog. I joined Mom and Dad at age three. Mom will tell you that she was looking for a Newfie with potential! She found a pet that became a therapy and service dog! Many rescues are just as awesome as I am!!

So on National Dog Day- support a rescue! Adopt, donate, give supplies, or give time to a local shelter! Your support counts!!! Thank you so much!!

Not A Victim!

As most of you know, I was an adopted dog. Mom “choosed” me above all other dogs. Most shelter dogs are not so lucky. They are victims of circumstances- lost, abandoned, starving for love and affection, and even dying in the shelter. Part of me surviving was my personality and a part was mom searching for me!
Mom is just like me! She refuses to be a victim of circumstances. Recently she dealt with a conniving thief. Though it may appear that the thief has gotten away with her plans and boasts about it, the whole truth has yet to come out. Mom is patient and knows that good comes to those who wait. She and I have a history of winning. And it is the battle, not the war that ultimately counts! We are not victims but victors!
