Eye On Oshkosh
We had so much fun yesterday evening. Cheryl Hentz is the host of Eye on Oshkosh and she invited me to be on her show to talk about the new book and about rescue dogs. We had so much fun. This time I invited two of my contributors to come with me including Dr. Gerald Hendrickson of Hendrickson Chiropractic and Wellness Center on Oregon.

Quentin shared about being chosen to train dogs while at Oshkosh Correctional Institute and how he worked with dozens of dogs who ultimately became service dogs for vets and others suffering from PTSD.

National Dog Appreciation Month Podcast
I love being a guest on podcasts and last week I was on a great one. Stefan is from Germany and now lives with his family in South Carolina. April is National Dog Appreciation Month and so I love that today is the kick off for this podcast. It's also the kick off for my birthday fundraiser to help rescue 70 dogs. I hope you'll join Stefan and me to learn more about my journey to being a dog mom and how despite not being a dog person I'm still doing small things to help rescue dogs. Thank you to Stefan Dubiel who is such a warm and kind and fun host. https://www.thoughtvolutionpodcast.com/copy-of-podcasts-

I hope that when I’m no longer taking up space on this earth that when people talk about me, they will say that she was a good person. Many not-so-great things have happened to me in my life. Some happened because I made wrong choices. But most of the really bad things that happened had nothing to do with the choices I made. In 2015 I had a really bad thing happen. Gary and I were on our way home from a lovely day at the beach. We were stopped at a red [...]
What Color is God’s Love?

He Gets Me

Arthur the King
I write books about rescue dogs and so I get a lot of dog stuff in my Facebook feed. I also post dog memes and photos of rescue dogs and so it’s not surprising that [...]
