Some people will say, “It’s just a dog,” but it’s not just a dog. A dog becomes your best friend, the one who’s always there when everyone else is too busy. They’re the comfort when life gets hard, the one who sits with you in your lowest moments without asking for anything in return. They’re the companion who makes you laugh after a long day, even when you don’t feel like smiling.

Your dog becomes your protector, always alert, always ready to keep you safe, even when you don’t realize it. They’re your walking partner, your daily reminder to step outside and breathe when the world feels overwhelming. They’re the keeper of your secrets, sitting by your side while you vent about things no one else will hear.

A dog can become your family, the constant in a world that changes too fast. They’re not just there for the good times, but for the moments when everything feels like it’s falling apart. They’re the one who looks at you with love, no matter what kind of day you’ve had. It’s never just a dog—it’s a piece of your heart, your companion in ways that words can never fully capture.

“Dogs die. But dogs live, too. Right up until they die, they live. They live brave, beautiful lives. They protect their families. And love us. And make our lives a little brighter. And they don't waste time being afraid of tomorrow.”

California and Arizona are leading the way towards
Veterinarians being able to do Telemedicine ~
Which is Well Accepted in Human Medicine ~
Let's embrace the future with the correct guidelines :-)

The California Veterinary Medicine Association updated its policy on telemedicine in light of a new state law allowing greater use of the modality in veterinary care. The CVMA says veterinary telemedicine is appropriate only after an in-person veterinarian-client-patient relationship has been establ...

Parting can be such sweet sorrow 💦🌈
Remember their love lives on in you 💝

They saw you watching over them
As they finally closed their eyes
They smelt your scent as they breathed
In and out for the last time

They heard the way your voice broke
As you told them they were loved
They felt you as you held them
With your gentle, farewell touch

And now they watch each morning
As you pass their empty bed
They watch you lose composure
And they see the tears you shed

They hear you bear the silence
Of the footsteps that are gone
That walk across your heart each day
Like echoes of a song

They feel the pang of emptiness
You get when you’re alone
In moments when you realise
That they’re never coming home

But in their darkest moment
You were there to hold them tight
And they just want the same for you
So you can feel alright

So they’re sewing you a rainbow,
Weaving ribbons through the sky
So they can let you know
That life is good beyond goodbye

So next time it is raining
And the sun appears as well
Just feel and look and listen
To what they are trying to tell

They’re telling you it’s spring there
With its showers and its sun
Where there are endless fields for them
To play and stretch and run

They’re telling you they sleep upon
The biggest, softest beds
That they have stitched from all the clouds
That float above your head

They’re telling you they’re not alone
For there are many others
And they’ve been reunited
With their parents, sisters, brothers

They’re showing you their rainbow
So you know they won’t forget you
And to tell you they will always be
So happy that they met you

And they’re telling you they love you
And though they’ll be dearly missed,
Not to worry, ‘cause it’s beautiful
Beyond the rainbow bridge
