While getting a puppy and raising it from scratch is fun, adopting a rescue is both a chore and a learning process for you and the dog. However, done properly, the end result is rewarding both and also gives the dog a wanted home that understands its needs and shamelessly caters to its needs and wants. Welcome to my blog. It is deliberately unstructured, jumps from topic to topic, and is unorganized but hopefully you will find it interesting and educational.
