Another business this page follows and is seen at a lot of the events I post here. On my podcast this week, I talk a little bit with Bobbi from Peace, Love, Paws.

From all over the country people rushed to help their fellow americans. Both two and four legged walked into the rubble not knowing what they would find including one of our very own Boone County Fire Protection District Missouri Task Force One - Hawk and his handler Cathy Schiltz.
We found an article that said due to his skills , the police and firefighters would ask for "That Hawk Dog" because they quickly learned that when he made an alert, they would find someone.

September 26 is Neighborhood Pet Store Day. I don't list sales here, as a general rule, but I wanted to mention it. Supporting a local business keeps money in the community and supports your neighbors who work there.

For more information, visit a neighborhood pet store and visit

Taking place annually on the fourth Saturday of September, Neighborhood Pet Store Day's purpose is to rally the pet lovers of North America in support of independent pet retailers.

I'm still looking to train someone's dog for FREE!

I got a few nibbles, but no commitments yet. If you're local to mid-Missouri and looking for someone to train with your dog, I would like to record some training sessions for promotional educational purposes only. Comment or message me if you're interested and I'll send you some more information.

I swear, I'm keeping the page updated. It's just really slow right now, what with school starting and all.

Consider yourself and your dog (mostly your dog, to be honest) officially invited to our Annual Pooch Plunge! Bring your pup to take a dip in the pool and make some new friends at Albert-Oakland Family Aquatic Center the day after Labor Day.

For just $8 a pup, your dog gets to enjoy an hour in the pool & you get exclusive access to Lizzi and Rocco's Treat Truck for their grand debut(!), not to mention a little insider info about our next event for dogs and dog lovers, Yappy Hour! All dogs do have to be accompanied by an adult human, and that human does need to register in advance. Register by calling 573.874.7460 or visit CoMo.gov & we'll see you at the puppy pool party!

I'll Train Your Dog For FREE!

Once again, I try to keep my different projects separate, but it's my page and I'll do what I want. ;-)

I am looking to train someone's dog for free, focusing mainly on basic pet manners. The caveat is you will allow me to video the training sessions and use them for educational and promotional purposes. You will also need to be in mid-Missouri.

If you are interested, let me know and I will send you some things that go into more detail about what I'm looking for.
