Back in 2012 with the passing of Shannon, I cried, screamed and begged my higher power to take me. Heck, I'm almost in tears now.

What it comes down to is children need to be taught how to interact with dogs. Yup, I said it.

I held Piper until her head was on my shoulder and as I heard her last breath I whispered in her ear momma loves you over and over.

As humans, we can do better for our pets. If we bring our dogs along with us how do they tell you they are too hot?
