Adopt a Dog Month
When people see the pictures I take of my dog Willamena, they often say, "You must have a lot of time on your hands."
No, not really.
I have a dog, and that means I have to walk her and spend some time with her; I just take pictures sometimes when I do.
As great and fun and fabulous as having Willamena has been over the past ten years, believe me, there are times when the responsibility can seem a bit too much.
October is American Humane's Adopt-A-Dog Month and ASPCA's Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month. While both organizations would love for you to take on the responsibility of a canine addition to the family, they want to make sure you are ready to do so.
The American Humane Humane Society reminds people that taking in a pet is for a lifetime. It urges you to consider where you will be 15 to 18 years from now, considering most dogs, with good care, can live to be 15 years or older, and most cats can live to be 18 years or older.
So as long as you are prepared, get ready for a lifetime of fun and love.
Here is a website with links to adoption places in Connecticut.

I don't know about adopting a Shelter-Dog but I'm willing to adopt your grandma! God bless her and your whole family for sticking together and being there for eachother during these hard times.

Hey! Thrilled that "What's Bugging You" is finally archived. Just sat together and enjoyed the ones we missed. The Aug 12th show on Fantasy Football...loved it! One of your best. Not only did you look fabulous (always a great way to start & finish) but the whole piece was mint! Great topic, lighthearted yet very interesting and educational. Ya, we got a few problems you can help us solve...got a minute? or 100 !!
