Bio
Welcome to No Dog About It Blog!
My name is Mel and I am a former pet sitter and dog walker from St Paul, Minnesota.
This blog was started as a way to share pet information with my clients. Over time, it has become a venue in which to share my knowledge, thoughts and experience on a wide variety of pet topics, products and issues, with a much larger audience.
I invite you to share your own comments, questions and experiences. I am always excited to learn from others, and I value the opinions of those who may have a different perspective.
A little more about me:
I was a volunteer at the Minnesota Valley Humane Society for 8 years (before it closed down) and a foster mom to 4 dogs.
I currently have a cat, Nick, and 2 dogs, Daisy and Jasper.
Daisy, my Labrador Retriever) is a former breeding dog in a puppy mill. I adopted her after fostering her for a short time. She is my baby, and all I learned about rehabilitating a puppy mill dog I learned from her. You can read more about Daisy, and her search for her "inner Lab" at: http://daisythewonderdog.blogspot.com/
Jasper, my Shetland Sheepdog, was purchased (along with his sister and a cat) from a pet store by a woman who wanted to rescue them from deplorable conditions. He had been in the pet store window for about 8 months and was surrendered to MVHS. I fostered both he and his sister before she was adopted.
I decided to keep Jasper as my very own.
He and Daisy are the very best of friends.
I am a passionate advocate for shelter pets, pet adoption and stopping puppy mills. As a result, you will find that many of my posts reflect these topics. However, I also happen to love to laugh, so you will also find funny pet stories and videos posted on a frequent basis.
Again, welcome to No Dog About It Blog! I hope you will continue to come back and share your thoughts, comments and experiences.
