Comfort dogs have been on my mind this week and in the news a lot lately, which probably reflects the heightened level of stress we’re all feeling as COVID drags on and the holidays approach. Here’s a video about comfort dogs at work in courthouses in Hillsborough County.

Good day, and good dog!
Our friends at the Today Show are reporting on therapy dogs being used to comfort children at children’s hospitals across the country while the kids get their COVID-19 shots. Continue reading Therapy Dogs Comfort Kids Getting COVID-19 Vaccines
We have had a major upset at my house with the change of seasons. Checkers, the Coonhound in the background looking like the world has ended, has taken her afternoon snoozle in my lap all summer because Rosie the Vizsla wasn’t interested. However, now that the weather is a bit cooler, Rosie is all about being a lap dog.
For the past couple of days, Checkers has been spending a lot of time barking and whining at the back door, but not wanting to go outside. I couldn’t figure it out until it finally dawned on me that we went through this last fall, too. Checkers hopes that she will entice Rosie to get off my lap to see what’s going on so she (Checkers) can jump up on me for her turn. Rosie is a year smarter now and isn’t falling for it, and I have yet to convince them that they will both fit at the same time.
Oh, the joys of having multiple dogs in the family!

From the good folks at THV11 in Little Rock: Getting to work on public transportation can sometimes be a headache. But in one of Europe’s largest cities, commuters say a canine companion is lifting everyone’s spirits.
10/10 I’d board a bus just to meet Boji.

If your dog has ever run away from home, you know how nerve-wracking it can be trying to find him or her.
My current dogs haven’t left the front yard since they left puppyhood, but I’ve had runners in the past. How about you?

More dogs run away on Independence Day than on any other day of the year. Check your dog’s chip and tags to make sure the information is up to date.

Earlier in the week, I shared a picture of my Vizsla, Rosie, looking absolutely crestfallen that her sister Checkers got to go for a walk without her. Rosie gets jealous of any attention paid to Checkers. Does your dog get jealous?

Rosie, waiting for her sister Checkers to come back from a walk. Rosie doesn’t like to go for walks when it’s this hot, mind you; she just can’t stand it that Checkers gets to go. #ToddlerRules

Wishing you a weekend full of happy smells and views!
