I’m Sorry – I Cannot Be Happy That Your New Dog is From a Breeder

May 27, 2019 By Amanda 2 Comments

I cannot be happy that your new dog is from a breederYou got a new dog from a breeder. You are posting photos all over Facebook. That’s nice – I’m not happy for you.

If you’re happy, cool. You are having a kid? I don’t like kids but I’ll be happy for you! Moving to New Jersey? That sounds terrible but I’ll be happy for you! But you bought a new dog from a breeder, and I just refuse to get behind it. I cannot possibly bring myself to be happy that you bought a dog from a breeder. I just can’t.

March 28, 2019 By Amanda 3 Comments

When you’re ready to add a new dog to your family, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is where your new family addition is going to come from.  But before you start looking at local breeders, spare a thought for the thousands of puppies and adult dogs waiting in shelters to be adopted.

2018 AAWL & SPCA Walk to Save Animals

November 3, 2018 By Amanda Leave a Comment

AAWL & SPCA Walk to Save AnimalsJust days after Wynston’s attack, we headed to Tempe Beach Park for the annual AAWL & SPCA Walk to Save Animals. Although Wynston was confined to the stroller, he didn’t mind! We enjoyed a day of sunshine and doggos alongside my mom and her dog, Cooper. The weather was perfect and the event was a blast as usual! Wynston even got blessed 🙂

AAWL & SPCA Fundraiser + Paw Print Art From Wynston!

June 17, 2018 By Amanda Leave a Comment

As I am turning the BIG 30 on July 22nd and Wynston is turning 7 on September 11th, I’ve decided to be selfless in celebration. Instead of throwing a party for either of us or asking for gifts, I’m raising money for Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA – Arizona’s oldest and largest no-kill animal shelter. Not only will the funds go to saving animals, but if you donate $20 or more, you will receive custom paw print art from Wynston!

adopt, don't shopIt’s 5am. The skies are still filled with darkness and the cold is wavering across the pavement. The dogs in the animal shelter begin to rustle, as they hear the sound of jingling keys at the door. The dogs have lived another day to experience a chance at a loving home, or so they think. But then it hits, the euthanasia crew comes in to “do the duty.” A number of dogs get released from their cages one by one. They think they are getting a walk! Love, affection, breakfast…but no. That poor dog never had a chance. They are walking to their death. In an hour they will be laying lifeless in a black plastic bag…
