Many of us can envision a lovely garden at this time.  Better yet, we envision our dogs running through the tulips. DID YOU KNOW TULIPS ARE NOT GOOD FOR DOGS? A dog friendly garden has to be well thought out because it can either make our dogs sick or happy depending on the choices we make. Now that I have the space in the back, …

It’s mighty HOT out there.  Yesterday, on my Facebook page, Nutrition-InCheck,  I dedicated my post to the consumption of water and why it is so important.  I know we hear it all of the time, but I think recently, it has really hit me just how important it is..not only for the humans in the house-hold but for our Fur-babies …

I like the idea of balance in my life!  I know the importance of vacations! I understand puppy parent separation anxiety! And I completely feel the need to have my fur-babies always in the hands of people we totally trust. We have never used a kennel. We just can’t! For the majority of time, we have had a pet/house-sitter who has come to our house.  It is …

I wanted to share this posting from a good friend of mine, Kelly Howarth.  Kelly and I are both certified professional Coaches and beyond that, bonified animal lovers.   I heard her tell this story and felt this would be the perfect forum to share it with you all.  This is all about Carlee the kitten….and how she got HOME! “Meet …

I never thought I would be using the power of social media to get the word out about a very important cause.  I’ll let you all guess what that is…lots of hints available:) I am a LinkedIn Trainer/Coach and passionate about the cause of animal welfare. How do the two mix?  Well,I didn’t think they did but the more I …

Breast Cancer-The disease touches the lives of many. One in nine Canadian women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, and one in 27 will die from it. These women are our mothers, our daughters, our sisters. Most of us know someone whose life has been affected by the disease. I know I do! Most of you would have to agree …

Fist of all HAPPY BELATED EARTH DAY everybody!:) I celebrate Earth Day every year…it is s symbol of my commitment to helping making my planet a better place.  This year I was not able to celebrate in any specific Earth Day celebration because I was finishing up my last “Coaching” weekend.. a three day intense weekend. After 7 months, I am …

This year has been about me..I mean, putting me first and thinking about my health and wellness.  After losing almost 30 Ibs, I am happy to say I am feeling better and healthier in so many ways.  With losing that amount of weight, it’s true…many of my clothes no longer fit:)  Yesterday, my Co-worker said, you must be anxious and …

I thought that I would be writing a very sad post this morning but I am not.  Last night, we spent most of our night at the DMV emergency animal hospital after Kayla, our beloved Pug, fell or jumped off the bed and could not feel her legs.  We spent a long time talking about options with the Vet but I …

My parents are getting older.  They live in New Brunswick but I think more and more about them everyday.  I do wish I was closer at times!  They have a dog, Kalua! I rescued Kalua 12 years ago and I will never forget when my Mom Molly came up to get her and I secured a trip back home by Via …
