Molly & Indy, mother & daughter, are a so very bonded pair. Pics were taken by our wonderful dog helper, Cari, who takes them on an excursion every week.

Baylie & Sadie are still best friends ( and sisters). Thanks Jim for these great pics.

These 2 remind me of our Molly & Indy

Update on Stanley- so, his dad told me that Stanley poached a rabbit from a hawk, (and he’s not sharing it with his big brother! ). That’s a pretty bold move for a big ‘ol softy like Stanley. Go Stan!

This is a terrific piece explaining about those “dilute” labs (silver, charcoal). I will NEVER breed dilutes- its not just unethical - it produces unhealthy dogs that suffer.

Understanding the problem, and Not ignoring the facts.

Do your pups get blueberries? Ours do! I buy the ones from Costco pretty often. Our dogs get about a 1/4 of a cup, a few days a week.

Don’t let her fool you!! Molly has NO intention of bringing that toy back!! As soon as you throw it, she’ll flop down and want a belly rub, or sit up on her hiney like a circus bear.

These 3 are FREELOADERS! 😆

I’ve got mowing, weeding, planting, cooking, sweeping, vacuuming and dishes to do, and yet here they are! Acting as if I’m their slave!

Wait- I think I am 🤪. In my next life, I might want to be a dog!

Curiously, most DVMs tell you to feed Royal Canin or Purina Pro Plan - both of which have multiple types of corn in their kibble. Corn is also GMO & desiccated w/glyphosate.

We don’t use any kibble with corn for my pups. Once, several breeders pressured me into trying Purina Pro Plan, saying that it made their dogs look so much better. All it did was cause one of my dogs to get arthritis in their back leg. I discontinued the PPP fed my dog a different diet full of raw foods, anti-inflammatory foods & supplements, and the arthritis resolved. End of story.

A new peer-reviewed study analyzing commercial dog and cat foods found multiple mold toxins present across all diets, with higher levels in foods containing more cereal ingredients like corn🌽, wheat🌾, barley, oats, and rice🍚. Researchers detected 63 different compounds⚠️, with common toxins such as DON, zearalenone, and fumonisins often appearing together at low levels.

While all amounts were below safety limits, the study highlights uncertainty around long-term and combined exposure. Pets are exposed to multiple toxins at once, and the effects of these mixtures over time are still largely unknown. Broader research suggests some mycotoxins may act additively or synergistically, potentially amplifying their impact, and have been linked to immune and gut changes in animal models.

Contaminated corn🌽, in particular, has been associated with some of the largest pet food recalls and highest reported pet death events in modern history. Notably, the Midwestern Pet Foods SPORTMiX recall was linked to over 130 dog deaths and 220 illnesses, while a Sunshine Mills recall affected multiple brands. Corn’s susceptibility to heat, humidity, and poor storage makes it a common source of aflatoxin contamination.

Freeze dried some cheese cubes for my pups. They will do *anything* for cheese. It’s dog crack!
