Tiny Teeth, Big Opinions: The Chaos Stage Begins
The puppies are officially entering their “high activity, low respect for personal space” phase 🐾😄 Everything is becoming a game now, especially for those who are convinced that life is best experienced at full speed and with teeth involved 🐶💨 They are getting very active, tumbling over each other, testing balance, and discovering that the…

THE NATURAL WORLD IS STILL SPEAKING
Many years ago I found myself sitting in Arizona attending a Zoopharmacognosy course taught by Caroline Ingraham, and at the time I had no idea that a single class would permanently change the way I looked at animals interact with herbs. Like many people working with dogs, I had spent years learning nutrition, health, behavior,…
