October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month and so it’s the perfect time to announce something special: I’m in training to become the new Volunteer Coordinator for One Tail at a Time, the rescue group little Chick is from! I think OTAT does a wonderful job in making this city a better place for dogs. Read more

Richochet was chained outside with no food or water, too thin and unable to even lift his head.
Over the weekend I dragged Josh along to Chicago Animal Care and Control. Believe me when I tell you that this is not a fun place to be.

The weekend flew by, especially since I spent almost all day on Saturday volunteering for the Safe Humane Court Case program at Animal Care and Control. It was an intense experience and I’d love to share more about, which I will. But first, a few photos from the rest of the weekend which was cool and somewhat relaxing.

This past weekend actually felt like fall, which was a nice change of pace after the record-breaking heat wave we’ve had all summer.

I'm a crazy dog lover living in Chicago. Here I share my thoughts and adventures with the ones who matter most.
