Can’t All #Dogs Get Along?
Anybody who rescues a dog assumes the responsibility of taking care of and loving that dog — and providing its fairytale “forever home”. But what happens if the new dog just doesn’t fit in with the other dogs in the household, no matter how hard you try?

@MegDonohue Goes DOG CRAZY for @GratefulDogsSF
Best-selling USA Today author, Meg Donohue, has a new novel out this week called Dog Crazy, which I’m sure any dog lover will be absolutely nuts about!

Because it’s not just time that heals all wounds — it’s the love of a dog, too, of course! (Bubble Bath Books)

Here’s to “Bailey” and “The Dooze” — and, no, it’s not a buddy cop show. FYI: You’ll have to scroll down about halfway through the article to read King’s piece titled “Requiem for A Dog”.
