The Grey Hairs: Advice from My Grandmother by Katie Kapro
My grandmother’s dog Mickey, a whippet-chihuahua mix, has the personality of a bouncer and the plump, muscular build of a chicken breast with legs.

The Dogs of Olde: Notable Dogs in History by Katie Kapro
Most of us, whether we’ll admit it in a public forum or not, think our dogs deserve to be famous—either for their weirdness, their cute expressions, their loyalty, or their funny habits. (Thus, internet sensations like the aww subreddit). Add that to...

MAAP—Navigating the journey your pet will take if you cannot provide care by Debra A. Vey Voda-Hamilton
When you share your life with an animal companion, planning for your loved one’s short- and long-term care is imperative. They are counting on you to assure their care no matter what. The older your pet is, the more they need a plan for future care.
K-9 Kiddos
We started watching a rust colored grey muzzled gal this year while her guardians were out of town. Grey in muzzle and slow in speed, her eyes sparkled and ears perked when she saw a ball. Coco loved my husband visiting her and would follow him...
