As a former pet owner, I cherish the bond that can be formed between an animal and its owner. For most of my childhood and early adult years, I almost always had a cat or dog as a companion. Although we didn't speak the same language, there certainly was a connection between owner and pet. Whether I was upset or excited, my pets always could sense the mood and respond in kind.
I've been thinking about this bond more over the past few days, as my parents had to euthanize their dog. The cancer which he had been battling for

January Highlights
We took most of our Christmas decorations down yesterday. We still have some winter decor adding a bit of detail to our home, but it lacks the shimmer and shine that the month of December brings. The brightly wrapped presents that were nestled under the tree and the fuzzy stockings that adorned the stairway have been replaced by. . .nothing. So although it is the start of a new year, it feels a bit anti-climatic.

In 2012 we also saw the formation of new partnerships and the addition of new features. Some of these include our newest monthly column, Ask the Dog Teacher (Feathers Fins and Fur), and our

A Mere Act of Kindness
Last Wednesday, my husband and I were driving on the highway to attend our high school son's and daughter's wrestling meet. As we approached the tollbooth, I realized that our EZ-Pass transponder was in our other car. My husband handed a dollar bill to me, as I moved to the cash lane. When we reached the booth, the attendant smiled and said, "The car ahead of you paid for you. Merry Christmas!"
I've heard about these acts of kindness previously. Drivers paying tolls for others; customers buying coffee for the person behind them. However, I had never had this happen
