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.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today in the US we celebrate Thanksgiving and I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  For those who celebrate, may your day be filled with family and friends, love and joy and special memories.  For everyone, whether you celebrate or not, may today and everyday be a day of thanksgiving.  Be thankful for those who are in your life, who make your days special whether they are near or far, keep them in your heart everyday.  Be thankful for the health you have even if it’s not perfect, everyday you wake up and draw breath is a day of hope.

I have so much to be thankful for today and everyday.  I have special friends in my life who are extended family to me.  Many of them I have never had the joy of even meeting in person but they are a part of my life just the same and I cherish their friendship which is one of the most special gifts.

I am thankful to have a voice and to be able to shout out and have people listen and care and shout out with me.  The strides we made may not be on a grand scale but but every day that we care enough to do something is a day that we can be proud of for we do and will make changes.

I am thankful for my furbabies, my four-legged family members who are always there with me, who never let me down and always fill my heart with love and joy.

Yes, there is so much to be thankful for and these are just a few things.  Today, take a moment to really think about the things you are thankful for, for the love in your heart and in your life.  I am thankful for you, my friends, my fellow crusaders, you truly to mean a great deal to me.  Sending love and positive thoughts to all of you today and everyday!

  • Happy Thanksgiving ya’ll! May you be thankful for a 100 pound fluffy dog who has parked his butt in front of the stove, stolen the pot holders, tossed his rawhides into the kitchen sink, and ate my flash drive.

    Dinner is going to be a blast.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone. Dee the world is a much better and richer place because of people like you. Andrea, I haven’t known you that long, but from what I can see you are doing a marvelous job. May we all be blessed by our furbabies and let’s hope that we can all do some good in getting the laws changed and make people recognize just how truly wonderful these babies are. I would love to see each and everyone of them get a GREAT home. I know that the two I have are trying at times, but love them to pieces. GOD Bless you all and your fur babies.

    May we all say a prayer for all of the unwanted and homeless animals and abused ones. Thank you for all of your hard work Deena for all pets. I will not rest until the laws are changed and all of the homeless pets are no more. I am thankful for my health to keep the work going to make changes. bLESS ALL OF YOU AND YOUR PETS.
