Dog in The Time of Coronavirus
It’s official. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and even wild child Tik Tok agree: our dogs just love us at [...]
WE’RE SOCIALIZED!
Do your pawrents ration your bully sticks?! She’s spouting some ridiculous rationalizations like “you’re practically addicted” and “too much of a good thing is bad”.
The woman is out of control. I may apply for emancipation.

I don’t think they’ll mind. We’ve been staying here for ten years now, and they’re like family.
But still…I felt kinda stealth 🕵️♀️
A writer’s gotta eat!!

Ok-true facts. It’s not really 5am. But it was before 5:30. Mom likes to ease into these ideas.
She always used to get up at 5am and write. It’s how she finished Downward Sizing Dog.
And now, she’s having a ruff (see what we did there 😬) time balancing writing book two while blogging and teaching and marketing. So maybe she’s going back to the 5am thing. We tried it this morning and we liked it.
We’ll keep you posted.
What about you? Have you tried this 5am thing?! What time do you start your passion projects?

TWO EASY STEPS TO BOOST YOUR SMALL DOG`S IMMUNE SYSTEM BEFORE ANNUAL VACCINES
So much is written about what to do during or after our dogs’ annual vaccination appointments. Yet, veterinary health writers all but ignore what we can do to boost our small dogs’ immune health BEFORE we load their little bodies with foreign substances. This oversight missed my notice until last year, when my sister Amy asked me how she could boost her pup’s immune system before her rabies shot.
Amy’s little Havana Silk Dog, Chloe, is in perfect health. (Chloe is pictured above, with my mom). She eats a raw, freeze-dried diet, enjoys lively daily exercise, and is full of exuberant personality. However, my sister knew from our experience with Scout and her adverse vaccine reaction, that even pups in top health can stumble when we flood their systems with vaccine virus and its accompanying preservatives.
When she asked what she should do, I assumed it would be easy to research the answer.
But it wasn’t.
Plenty of advice exists regarding what to do during and after vaccine appointments. Very few reputable resources talked about preparing our pups’ systems for the onslaught of virus and chemicals flooding their systems when they receive their shots.
Yet, when our pups are about to undergo any stressful event, it’s wise to consider boosting their immune system. In this post, I’ll delve into the strategies that help provide immune support for small dogs. We’ll look at dietary supplements like probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids, and consider the role of specific foods in boosting immune health.
