Don’t forget that dogs get cancer too. They need our help if they have a cancer diagnosis.
My dog was my best friend when I was diagnosed with cancer last year. He stayed by my side through the entire ordeal. My family did not stay by my side but my four-legged best friend did. I don’t know what I would have done without him. He was so loving and showed me unconditional love that only a dog can show. He WAS my canine caregiver and am forever grateful to him.
I think it’s great you’re honoring them. They deserve so much credit.
To all canine caregivers- you are so special to us. You deserve to be honored.
Never heard of this. Can’t make it this Saturday but will keep all of you in my thoughts.
Not sure if I’ll be able to watch.
I wish I knew about this event earlier. I would have loved to go to it!
The Event is this Saturday 9-12. Come on out!
thanks for the link.
I never heard of bark for life. honoring our dogs. cool.
looking forward to it.
Can anyone go or must you be a participant. I don’t have a dog but would like to support this. It sounds like a worthwile cause/
Awesome! Loved Dre!! She was the best!!!
Very good show! I saw your latest post. You should do a show on disabled pets.
Great show!! Your guests, especially Deb and Sam were really good! Loved the dogs too! Sad subject.
Never mind. I see the link. Thanks.
Can I watch this show online?
Caught your show. It was very good. Your guests and the dogs were very good as well. I can’t get over what happened to your last guest. His dog smelled the cancer before he knew he had it. Unbelievably amazing. Your guest is one lucky man. The treatment he’s receiving is also new. I hope he will continue to thrive as he is now.
Cancer is horrible for people and animals. This is a great way to honor our pets who help us through this tough time. It’s about time our pets are honored for the good they do.
I know these people! Will watch it!
Blind cats and dogs can get along great in your home if you don’t make any changes to your furnishings. Being blind shouldn’t preclude a pet from living a full , and active life.
Deaf animals are the same way. You have to make sure they understand your commands by touch. Deaf pets tend to sleep more. They, too, can live very fulfilling lives.
It’s not right that they are the first to be euthanized. It’s wrong that people surrender their pets because of these limitations. Shows how what really think of their pets. Their pets have limitations. Instead of being there for their pets, they discard them.
They should never be allowed to have another one.
Have you ever done a show on pigeon shoots in PA? I think it would be a great show to let everyone know what they do at them.
Zena, Yes I have done shows on pigeon shoots. I’ve helped to create awareness about this cruel sport in the last state in the nation that still openly holds these shoots in Berks and Bucks Counties.
Thanks for the inquiry.
