    Lucky G and the Melancholy Quokka Review

    January 19, 2021 /

    Even the happiest creature on Earth can get the sads! Lucky G makes a trip down under to help out a struggling quokka. Join them on their journey to better mental health. Lucky G is a big bird on a big mission: To help kids cope with their mental and physical challenges. My cousins Summer and Natalie read Lucky G’s journey and shared their thoughts: We loved the book! It’s an easy read and it really tells you who to go to when you have sad feelings. Natalie and I agreed that this book really shows you who to look for when you feel sad. I personally loved that it…

    Book Review: A Flair for Goblins-A Sadie Kramer Mystery

    October 23, 2020 /

    NEW RELEASE…. When Sadie Kramer agrees to help decorate for San Francisco’s high-society Halloween Spooktacular, she expects to find whimsical ghosts, skeletons, and jack-o-lanterns when she shows up at the Wainwright Mansion, not a body. Especially not the body of the woman in charge of the charity event. With two detectives, a paranormal investigator turned television star, and a cauldron full of Wainwright Foundation staff and family members cackling around her, Sadie and her sidekick Yorkie are determined to find out who the killer is. Will an old superstition help lead to the truth? Or will this simply become one more tale in the mansion’s haunted history? *Recipe for Butterfinger…

    Celebrating Ten Years of On Toby’s Terms!

    September 23, 2020 /

    Celebrating ten years of On Toby’s Terms! When Charmaine and her husband adopted Toby, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, they figured he might need some adjusting time, but they certainly didn’t think he’d be a holy terror, beset by severe anxiety and destructive behavior that would take a miracle to curb. Turns out, Toby routinely opened and emptied closets, turned on water taps, and pulled things from the bookshelves. Oddest of all was his penchant for locking himself in the bathroom, and then push the lid of the toilet tank onto the floor, smashing it to pieces. After a particularly disastrous encounter with the knife-block in the kitchen—and when the couple…

    May 2, 2016 /

    Barbara Boswell Brunner is back with another heart-wearming, thought-provoking book about her experiences loving and caring for dogs that others may have given up on. I’m so happy to have had the opportuity to read and review this book. Loving Emmi begins with a story about Barbara Boswell Brunner’s Rottweiler, Morgan, a humorous, gentle giant, who passed away in 2013 from cancer. The author tells of Morgan’s cancer battle and her impact on her family. Soon after Morgan’s passing, the family suffers another loss when their dog Cooper passes suspiciously. My heart broke for the family for suffering so much loss. The family began their search for a companion for…

I was lucky enough to win a gift basket from @fait I was lucky enough to win a gift basket from @faithtreats.12 recently, and it truly made my day. Swipe.to see the goodies!

Inside was their beautiful Sweet Potato Pie for Dogs🥧 (a real treat for my pups), along with 🥓Bacon & Banana🍌 treats that got lots of tail wags, playful toys from BARK, a fun tote bag, and a beautifully handmade blanket that added such a special touch.❤️🐾

The care and thought Faith Treats put into every item truly stood out. If you’re looking to treat your pups with something unique and wholesome I highly recommend them. This basket was a reminder of the wonderful people behind small businesses who genuinely care about the animals they serve. 

Anyone else have a favorite treat from Faith Treats? I’d love to hear about it. ❤️

I have to brag about Delia. She is the absolute sw I have to brag about Delia. She is the absolute sweetest, best-behaved little girl. She saw her doctor today and was the best little patient. She has a completely torn left CCL.😩 If you know Delia, you know she is very active. Looooves to run and fetch, which is how she hurt her leg. She's healthy, but due to age and past anesthesia issues, we've opted for conservative management, no surgery. Please send healing prayers, good vibes, whatever you believe, her way. Thank you 💜

Posted @withregram • @bailing_out_benji Today is Posted @withregram • @bailing_out_benji Today is Puppy Mill Awareness Day! 

Can you help us spread the word about this cruel industry by telling at least one person about puppy mills? 

Here are a few quick facts: 

- 75% of the puppy mills in the United States can be found in 8 Midwest states (Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin). 

- There are approximately 600 active puppy-selling stores in the United States and our research shows that the majority of the puppies are coming from puppy mills and large scale commercial dog breeders, many of whom have violations. Bailing Out Benji has publicly connected many of these stores to the facilities they buy from. 

https://bailingoutbenji.com/puppy-mill-maps/cvi-data/

- Over 475 localities and 7 states have enacted ordinances that prevent or regulate puppy mills from selling puppies through pet stores. 

Resources to tune in to: 
* Dog by Dog: Documentary about the dark money behind puppy mills. Can be found on numerous streaming sites! 

* Puppy Kingpin: A Sony Productions Podcast that dives deep into the world of puppy mills becoming nonprofit “rescues”. 

* The Doggie in the Window: A phenomenal true story that follows a journalist as she uncovers the cruel puppy mill world that her new puppy was born from. 

If you or someone else wants to get involved with our nonprofit and help us with our mission to end puppy mill cruelty, please contact us about becoming a volunteer or supporter!

What a beautiful day for the @apaofmo Canine Carni What a beautiful day for the @apaofmo Canine Carnival 🐾

We were able to share @bailing_out_benji work and educate about puppy mills!
💜One of the highlights of the day for me was meeting sweet little Rosie.🌹 She spent the first 9 mos of her life as an Envigo beagle, being used for inhumane testing. Before her parents adopted her, she was known as CMKCEU, her tag number, which is also tattooed on her ear. She has adjusted to the life she deserves with her family, surrounded by love. She's a happy, sweet girl!
