Happy Veteran's Day! November Rescue of the Month is Vets to Vets United, Inc!

From each pet care visit, we donate $1 to a local animal group. Founded by the amazing Dr. Terry Morris, Vets to Vets United, Inc works locally to train and pair rescued shelter dogs with US military veterans who are lonely, suffering from depression, or who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, a traumatic brain injury, or a physical disability. We are SO proud to have them in our community.

Vets to Vets United pairs military veterans with rescue dogs to help with mental or physical disabilities and enhance their quality of life. Improving and saving lives, one veteran and one dog at a time.

Have you found glimmers with your dog lately? YAYDog helped me see so many of them in my sweet Buddha boy 🐶🌟

Think about this in connection with your dog. ESPECIALLY if you have a "difficult" or challenging dog. I am not even a huge fan of those terms, but you know what I mean. Be in real time with your dog. Don't multi-task all the time you are with your dog. These beautiful creatures are proven to help us with our health and lowering stress. Did your dog react 20 seconds more slowly than before? Or did your dog bark at someone but just a tiny bit shorter and more quietly? Do you just melt when your dog comes to you with tail wagging? Take all the glimmers!! And know I am thinking of you and wishing the best for you and your dog. (Hat tip Stuart Kelley and Rumi Quotes.)
