A Quartet of Goldens --Wordless Wednesday

We recently attended a therapy dog event at a local university, and 4 out of 5 dogs working there were goldens! Ike was very happy to meet his fellow golden pals!

Here are some ways you can help calm your dog this 4th of July: 1. Provide Hiding Places- - Make sure bedroom or closet doors are open, or that your dog has access to some place he feels safe.
