"Transform Your Dog Into The Pet
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand."

The vet has not given up. He will be coming home tonight rehydrated, the poppy’s blessed gift in his veins, in a bottle of pills for later. No betrayed look as he was led into the vet’s back room. We’d sat on the floor together, the doctor talking about humps and getting past them, and yet the final subject came up, was spoken at last. She can refer us to someone who will come to the house, when it is time.
All the walks delayed, all the impatient shoves when he blocked the hall, all the times I averted my eyes from his as I slipped out the front door, sometimes for days. He would not sleep for the first two days I was gone. He would wait for me by the front window. Opportunities lost.
This is a recent photo of James. He just got married to Molly and she took this picture of "our Maui". You can also view some great videos on this website. Didn't want to list them all. Thank you so much James for lightening up so many of our lives. We sincerely appreciate your work it bringing Maui into our lives.

We had loads of people that requested information to volunteer. We are very proud. We also adopted Ernest to a great home.
Our Perfect Petzzz Adoption Center was a great success--It was such a great attraction. Lots of kids wanted to touch the pets and convince their moms to take them home! ( Perfect Petzzz are stuffed dogs & cats that actually breathe--very lifelike--they come with rabies tag, collar, adoption certificate, bed, brush and carrier) We adopted out 4 of our "alternative pets" to some great homes.
Donations were very much appreciated. Thank you to all. To see other Perfect Petzzz available, click on picture.

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and I thought I would quickly send this out to you, before I leave for the weekend.
We were discussing how to keep your dog's mind stimulated.
Remember: Bored dogs cause problems. If you don't keep your dog's mind stimulated, chances are that he'll find activities to stimulate his mind, himself. And you won't like those activities. :)
A dog that is mentally stimulated on a daily basis is a happy dog. And happy dogs don't cause dog problems.
Here's a quick list of how to keep your dog mentally stimulated: To continue, click here: Games To Play With Your Dog
