The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons
Training a dog to get settled is not something that happens overnight, because dogs don’t understand human languages or the circumstances of the fate we’ve chosen for them. Settling in takes time and patience. The process isn’t black or white, nor is progress linear. There is no ‘typical’ timeline in which things are expected to …Read More about The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons
The Charley Diaries Part 2: Getting to Know Each Other
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is Charley’s confidence. But the city slowly became a hallmark of pride, inspiration, and awe. That’s where our little Einstein is headed.

Adopting Nikita and Molly: A Yin and Yang experience – Part 1
It has been a week since we moved to our new home. Strangers appeared on the front lawn. She froze.
