(By Margaret Gletherow) Charlie was such a lovable, sweet boy.  I’m so sorry that he had to leave so suddenly.  My heart goes out to you, Katie. You were a wonderful Mom to him.  He will always be with you in spirit, and I, for one, will never, ever forget him.  RIP...

(By Margaret Gletherow) Roxy was a beautiful pup, on the inside and out. Her wiggly butt and excitement in seeing me, when I visited, always made me smile.  The love of a dog is so special and not to be taken for granted.  I was honored to be one of her special people.  Cancer stole her from us way too soon, but her spirit...

Thisbe Sue saves her human! (By Kendra Moore) Thisbe came into my life almost 7 years ago after my sister and brother-in-law saw her eating out of a trashcan at just a few weeks old in Miami, Florida.

(by Lorraine Garaguso)  I rescued Po when he was 19 months old. From the start he was a giver. I suffered from severe PTSD and agoraphobia. I started walking Po in front of my house. Soon, to the corner and back. Next thing you know we were going around the block. Eventually Po became a therapy dog with TDI. He was awarded two TDI...

(By Margaret  Gletherow) Ruby died in my arms the early evening of Monday, July 4th, 2016.  She was 15 years and 9 months old.  We suspect it was cancer, though it was never formally diagnosed. I was her pet sitter for many years, but she was more than a client.  I loved her like my own.  She was full of energy, smiles and love,...
