Right now I am working with a good friend to get a charity going for disabled people who need help paying for their annual vet care bills. All of us here obviously know how valuable the dog human relationship is.
Eight years ago I was told I had three months if I was lucky. I chose to go through some really intense rounds of treatment that saved my life but made me gravely ill. During that time, Katey, My dear companion neverleft my side but to eat and use the bathroom. I am told that if anybody approached the bed when I was delirious at times she refused to let anyone get close. She stood guard over me.
I made a commitment on that day to not die before she did... to give her the life she gave me. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with Lupus. Its been a hard road but its eight years later and we are both living about six years beyond our shelf life.
But Katey is now eleven, and for a Weim, thats deep into senior territory. I decided that as long as I could make sure other people in a health crisis got the care that Katey gave me, she would live on, and so would I, no matter what happens to our physical being
We are in the process of building a home site and it should be up and running in about two weeks. In the Interim, I have been Blogging with my co founder and doing the social networking thing to get our name out there.
what I would ask, and it would be a huge favor that I would appreciate immensely is if you would read over some of the content of the blog and tell me HONESTLY what could be done to improve.... Not the blog layout, but the content... the posts.
what am I missing? what part of being a dog person am I leaving out?
Heres the blog link.

I have a pretty thick skin and view criticism constructively, so please let me know what I can do as a fellow dog lover to better express the nature and importance of dogs in our lives and their value.
Thanks!
