The Doodle Bug
This is just a short post to share my sweet Bubby boy King. He gets left out too often now because of the puppy boy Ezra. So, I’m sharing him today. He’s now 8 1/2 years old. We’ve had him since he was 13 months old. His best friend in the world is my husband Donnie. King is an American Bully by breed, however, anything but a bully as in the human kind. He’s the kindest, funniest, most handsome and smart boy. This boy is the self-designated therapy dog I never knew I needed. He’s also such a huggable boy now – he wasn’t always...
read moreOut of Darkness into the Light
There are really several stories wrapped within this one. As I walk out in the early mornings with God and my puppy Ezra is when God will whisper sweet meanings to me. Back in February of this year before everything in the world suddenly changed, is when God whispered to me telling me Ezra was a treasure of darkness. I shared about it in this post, The Unseen. I KNEW that scripture verse as I’d learned about it years ago from my colleague and former business partner. I knew it was in Isaiah. I’ve read the Bible daily for 30 years....
read moreEating REAL Food
Because dogs are carnivores. This is done under our supervision. This is a natural teeth cleaning exercise- and yes it does wear them out. Yes they get bone in meat meals also but this is extracurricular for them. We can’t seem to get whole prey still, so we improvise as best we can. Ezra our Carolina Dog puppy, 6 months old at the time of this photo (6 months ago). King our American Bully, 8 years old at the time of this photo (6 months ago). Ezra was weaned to raw from raw fed parents. He’s never had to be subjected to kibble. King was...
read moreGrowing Up Ezra
My Carolina Dog puppy Ezra is 11 months old today! We got him when he was 9 weeks old. I can’t say that the time has passed quickly lol. He’s been a challenge – mostly because of me, not him. He is exactly what the breed is. I’m just not who I used to be haha! By the grace of God we’ve survived him to this point 😂😆. I hope he grows into at least a bit calmer, more toned down dog. Hey, I can hope can’t I? Ezra is a very high energy, super sassy, teen puppy boy. So that makes me and my husband...
read moreLong Living Pets Rescue and Rehab Center
My friend, Thomas Sandberg, is going above and beyond to do a few things to help dogs (and cats) live and BE well. First he started the longest running, albeit anedotal (which I LOVE) study on raw feeding, Long Living Pets Research Study – there are actually THREE studies ongoing which you’ll find when you go to the site. Now he is currently raising funds for his Long Living Pets Research, Rescue and Rehab Center. His focus is to establish a rescue and rehabilitation center. In his words he states, “The Center will care for...
read moreThe Vagus Nerve and Your Dog’s Health
Let me first define what the vagus nerve is before I share the stories on each of these fantastic dogs that have graced our home over the years. “The vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brainstem to the body. … The nerve is responsible for certain sensory activities and motor information for movement within the body. Essentially, it is part of a circuit that links the neck, heart, lungs, and the abdomen to the brain.” (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318128 Everything you...

When my beautiful Carolina Dog, Schatzie, passed away I was devastated. Again. Seems with each one passing it gets harder and harder maybe because I’m now long in the tooth myself! There were those who reached out to help encourage me, such as Sonja on Facebook who created the beautiful graphics I’m using on Schatzie’s Memorial Page. I’ve done several podcasts on her too. What I have failed to do however is share a post on her passing with the beautiful portrait that my awesome friend, Breanne Altherr had created for...
read moreFasttracking EMF Exposure, Part 2
This has been a topic of interest to me since 2006 when I first began learning of the dangers to us and our pets. Now I see more and more pets affected by this including my own which is why I’ve put protections in place. I think I’d be remiss in not sharing this news with you all. As always I’ll share some quotes to encourage you to DIG in and learn so you can at the very least be informed. This free online summit will help you learn as well as provide you some viable solutions. I’ve shared what I use in previous...
read moreThe Wild One
I thought I’d simply share some FB posts I’ve done on Ezra over the last few months. He has grown and as a result so have I. He has never let me or my husband remain in a comfort zone, just chillaxin and living a simple, easy life. He is actually why I was prepared for such a time as this. This first one I was having a conversation with King, and using his reactions to Ezra lol – and honestly that is exactly his response to Ezra half the time because he is 8 years old versus Ezra’s now 10 months old age difference. I...
read moreThe Quackiest of Quackery
A number of years ago I shared the following podcast (repurposed into my current podcast, the DOGgone Truth) and now once again this same “quack” label is rearing its ugly head but also directed at MDs, nurses, veterinarians, et al, not just natural health practitioners due to this virus. Why? Because they are speaking out against the narrative we’ve been fed like food poisoning. “If they resist or ridicule you and reject your offerings made in good faith, move on. If they are not receptive to these healing concepts at...
