Posted by justinelee in Blog, Pet Health, Uncategorized

As Thanksgiving approaches, I like to take the time to reflect back on all that I’m thankful for. (In reality, we should be thankful more than one day a year!). I’ll start by writing about the dedication at the beginning of my dog book It’s a Dog’s Life… But It’s Your Carpet. This humorous, Q&A book on dog ownership took a lot of time to come to fruition, and my dedication to all those that I was thankful for is listed below: To my parents, who taught me that...
