Welcome to Litsy!

Well, y'all were the first social media I shared the news with when sweet Arthur Weasley came into our lives, I figured you should be the first to know that he has left us. After almost 2 years in our home and over 3 weeks of struggle and pain, we have said goodbye to our sweet pup. I strongly recommend the tagged book for any pet owners, and give your #petsoflitsy an extra hug from me tonight.

Wow, I've been away from Litsy for a while! It's been a very stressful few months with lots of family visiting, a very sick dog to take care of, and both my husband's and my cars breaking down. Not much time or energy left over for reading. But today I have the day off and rain keeping me inside, so I'm cuddling up with some books! Finally!

This is Mork wearing a toy tiara comb I bought for my classroom treasure box. I hope it makes you smile.
We are sending lots of love, hugs, and well wishes for you and Pilot. I know how stressful it is when one of your pups is sick. #getbettersoonpilot

Dr. Royal's almost conversational writing style makes this book a joy to read. She mixes her advice for wild health with various anecdotes from her years working with zoo animals, wild animals, and pets. Many stories are tear jerkers so have tissues nearby if you're prone to the waterworks. Her thoughts on euthanasia are particularly helpful and comforting. I don't know anyone who hasn't struggled with that decision.

For #NationalPuppyDay, Bernie and I watched the documentary Pet FOOleD. It was like the first time I watched Food Inc. I started freaking out over what I have been feeding my guy! Reading The Royal Treatment for more information. Dr. Royal is one of the vets featured in the documentary. If anyone has any other dog diet/health book choices, please let me know.
