#Flashback ~ 2014/2015 ~ Harley & My Quote & Best in Print Award ~ Featured in AmericanPet Magazine   It's funny, looking back over photos and published articles, and things I enjoyed with my dogs for my weekly #FlashbackFridays...while I remember every moment spent with them, this one hits a little different now a decade later.

"Aria" on her rescue ride out of the shelter. Aria is an abandoned Husky that is a starvation case MUSH Rescue stepped in to help. In order to give Aria the medical care she needs, will take a village of caring folks. The number of Siberian Huskies and Husky mixes filling shelters is at an overwhelmingly and alarming rate. Why are so many being abandoned? What do people think will happen to the dogs the drop off, or worse yet, just abandon to the streets? There are not enough people to foster and/or adopt them. The shelters are full beyond capacity and are scheduling these sweet dogs to eutha ..read more

You know the scene...you’ve been up most of the night watching over your beloved dog who just had a seizure or is ill. Whether you dog has been diagnosed with Canine Epilepsy or just experienced its first seizure, it is a frightening experience for dog caregivers. Triggers come in many ways and forms, and not all the same things trigger a seizure in dogs. The “wild west” of causes can keep a dog parent on edge—from developing a care and hopefully anti-seizure treatment plan with your vet, to the daily worry of whether or not your dog will have another seizure. Then there is the post-seizure ..read more

Scary, right? According to EarthDay.org, "We consider our pets as part of our family, but what we don’t realize is that we are exposing them to harmful substances every ..read more
