Someone once told me that I treat my dog better than most people treat their children. I cannot dispute the accuracy of this statement for a second. Hi there! My name is Melissa. I’m a registered nurse by education and a certified dog fanatic by proclamation. For as far back as I’m able to remember, I’ve enjoyed surrounding myself with people who barked, meowed, hopped, sang or swam. (The photograph of me feeding animal crackers to the neighbors Bassett hound as a baby is outstanding supporting evidence.) I’d like nothing more than to be able to share the knowledge imparted by the many wonderful dog friends I’ve been blessed to know in my lifetime with your canine companion. Treat, play, love. Repeat as desired until maximum joy attained.
