Real Dog Talk

 Let's break the stigmas of rescues and rescue dogs. Some don't adopt because they are scared all rescue dogs are broken, scared, old or not the breed they want. This is further from the truth!!! 

Today is all about Cocoa the Tour dog, who she is and what an amazing life she has! 

Today is a tougher subject, when is it time to let your dog go. When they are sick and you have to make that tough, but kind choice, here is how I made it and some things to think about when you are facing that choice.

We talked with a grief counselor back in May of 2023, here is the link to it, it was a great episode if you are coming to this decision or if you have had to recently.
