My Mission

Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Now This is a Greeting! VIDEO

Think about how wonderful it is when you come home to have your dog greet you, how wonderfully excited they are, even if you’ve only been gone a short time. I know how my Jezzie and Bruti are, they both grab their favorite toys, run back and forth, turn in circles, Bruti howls around a mouth-full of tennis ball. It makes me feel like someone really special and wonderful and oh, so very loved!

Now imagine how it would be if you were returning after a long time, say you were a soldier in Iraq returning after a 14 month deployment… Check out the video, it brought tears to my eyes. :)

    OMG! I just couldn’t stop crying. Seeing this reminded

    me of Ratchet sttting only GOD knows where…

    Can you imagine if he was reunited with SGT. Beberg?

    So far I haven’t heard from CNN. I called White House,

    Fox news, called the Senators and one Congressman, Ellis!

    I even spoke to News department at zootoo.com….

    What the hell is goin on with these heartless BAS_____!!!!

    I keep seeing Ratchet in my mind everyday I wake up.

    I see him cause I have a baby girl german shepherd that

    looks like him.

    HARMED AND PROTECT WITH ANGEL WINGS SO HE WILL BE FREE!!

    @Marcy Becker – I know, Marcy. the same thing went through my mind which is why it touched me so much.
    @Vicki T – I’m so glad that you like it too, Vicki. I watched it a few times as well. It made my heart happy and I know we all need that with everything else always going on.

  • Bill

    That was wonderful!
    When I returned from Viet Nam, my litte girl, Vena, had passed on.
    I would have not been bothered by all of the scorn directed at us if she had been there to greet me like these guys did him.
    God Bless our veterans and ALL dogs,
    Bill

    @dru – LOL! Only you would think of that, Dru! :D
    @chideb – Yeah, me too, Deb, me too.
    @Bill – I couldn’t agree more, Bill, God Bless them! I am sorry your baby wasn’t there to greet you and even now cringe, so many years later, when I hear about the stories that will forever live in the hearts of those who were just doing what our country ask them to do.
