This book explains the experiments done with dogs in MRI machines using positive reinforcement. He breaks down complex concepts so they are easy to understand and the book has a heartwarming narrative.

Home today with a terrible head cold. This is Miah. She is keeping me company. I thought if I got up and made tea thinking I might feel better. I am enjoying the tea but my head feels like it is too big for my shoulders and I am sleepy. Going back to bed!🤒

DaveGreen7777 Hope you feel much better soon! 🤕 5y
Scochrane26 Hope you feel better! 5y

For those of you who don't know , unfortunately @GypsyKat sadly lost one of her fur babies unexpectedly this week. My heart goes out to her, as my boys mean the world to me.

Cuddle your fur babies extra tight for Kat tonight, and share a pic if you wish ! 💕💕💕✨ #LitsyLove #dogsoflitsy #sendinglove

@wordslinger42 I am sharing one my favorite videos on the Internet. There are many ridiculous videos of dogs (and definitely of huskies) but this one is among the funniest.

It‘s called “Husky Screaming.” 🙃💕 Feel better.

Old lady dog is old. She's had a mysterious illness all summer and she's creeping up on 11. Walking her this morning was like walking thru congealed pistachio pudding, so I picked up some doggie stairs for her. She has a vet visit tomorrow to hopefully figure out what's going on with her. #corgisoflitsy #dogsoflitsy

britt_brooke Aw! Hope all is okay. Love that face! 💚 7y
mcipher Poor old girl! Old but still beautiful. 💙 I hope all is okay! 7y

Centique Oh those lovely eyes! Get well little one 💕 7y
DGRachel I'm so sorry. I hope she feels better soon. My 11 year old won't even use the doggie stairs anymore. 💔 7y
mrsmarch @DGRachel Inevitably she perks up the morning my husband takes her to the vet. Oh well. She despises the stairs and would much rather make me give her butt a lift where it needs to go. 7y
DGRachel @mrsmarch At least she perked up, little stinker. ❤️ I'd gladly give Pilot's big butt a lift, but he's never liked being picked up and at 60 lbs, he's a bit big for me to lift without hurting myself. 😳 7y

Found this little baby on the side of the road today. Could not leave her there. She can't be 2 months old. How can people be so cruel. She is so sweet. She fell asleep and wagged her tail the whole time

Bette Oh my gosh. Glad you have a kind heart. 👍❤️ 8y
Notafraidofwords Oh my gosh. I love you for doing this. Are you going to keep her? 8y

Reecaspieces @Notafraidofwords well I have 5 in the house and 1 outside...what's one more😂. Call us the crazy dog family. Actually, we have a vet here that fosters and sends them north. She is going to try to find her a home and I will foster her (yes I will end up keeping her) until a home is found. 8y
Notafraidofwords @Reecaspieces thank you. Thank you so much. Is there anything I can do to help? 8y

OrangeMooseReads Makes me sad that someone could be so heartless to such a sweet face. I'm glad you found her and are giving her a warm place and love 🐶❤️👍🏽 8y
Reecaspieces @Bette thank you! 8y
Notafraidofwords @Reecaspieces ugh I wish. I have family members with extreme dog allergy, so I can love them from afar which is why I ask. If you're ever in a bind financially to take care of her, I wouldn't mind sending some supplies. 8y
Reecaspieces @OrangeMooseReads me too! She is precious! 8y
Cortg What a cutie! I'm sure she'll find a home soon, and yes, people can be so cruel. Our new pup is scared to death of people outside of our family, and it's looking more and more like he was abused. It's going to be a long road but we've got a plan! ❤️ 8y
Reecaspieces @Notafraidofwords that is so so sweet!! Thank you!! Will let you know!! 8y
