My Facebook friends and puppy owners have been encouraging me to start this blog for two years, and it\u2019s finally launched.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not much up here to look at yet, but I will try to post something every day or two. Something useful. Something interesting. Something challenging. Something you didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>So much of what I have learned about puppies and dogs, caring for them, using natural remedies to help and cure everything from parvo virus to seizures to skin allergies, has been virtually lost in old Facebook posts I will never be able to find again. So I begin the job of putting down everything I have learned in this blog so it can be accessed and shared easily.<\/p>\n<p>Some folks (kindly) call me an \u201cexpert\u201d.\u00a0 That\u2019s overstating the case. I know a lot and have learned a lot, but I\u2019m always still learning, and always running up against issues I have never seen and have no clue to deal with. As I encounter those, I will share that info with you. Think of me as a \u201cresource\u201d rather than an \u201cexpert\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But besides the useful information about care &amp; feeding, behavior and such, I want to have some fun here as well. So hopefully there will be some chuckles along the way, especially in the \u201cPuppies\u201d category.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage you to ask questions and respond to my posts, and feel free to request blog posts on topics of particular interest to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I\u2019ve procrastinated long enough!
