Operation Kennel Mom

After watching the documentary "Glory Hounds" on Animal Planet the other night, I can't stop thinking about what an amazing service that military dogs and their handlers give to this country. I decided to do some research into it and try and find an organization that helps out with supplies for these dogs and their handlers so I could help. 

I stumbled upon an organization called Operation Kennel Mom that does just that. Founded by two military personnel who also have a great respect for these canines, this organization is doing a lot of good for those dogs and their handlers.


On the website, www.operationkennelmom.com, there are profiles for all the military working dogs that this organization supports, which I found to be so great because it helps you connect with the dogs and handlers that are out there on the front lines protecting our country.

 Please visit their website and make a donation! Any amount helps, even a dollar! Or you can send any item from their list of treats and toys to Operation Kennel Mom and they will make sure it gets to the dogs! I think we owe it to these dogs and their handlers to let them know that we care, respect, and appreciate what they are doing everyday to help protect our country. And if you get a chance, check out Glory Hounds on Animal Planet (http://animal.discovery.com/tv-shows/glory-hounds)!

We have been busy this winter here in MA getting snowed in! I am hoping to be more active with the blog, but I always fall through! Hopefully this weekend I will be able to catch up and post some interesting stuff for you guys!

Sarafina has been loving the snow and I am content with it as long as she is! Last storm we got over 2 feet of snow! And looks like this weekend we might be getting another foot or so.


Now for a review that I am really excited about!

Five Paw Review: ComfortFlex Harness

I love, love, love this product! The design is amazing and helps direct pressure away from your dog's throat when walking which has been a great help with Sarafina. Even when wearing a standard harness, Sarafina would always choke when she pulled and got excited on leash, but now that she wears the ComfortFlex Harness we never have that issue. Many dogs who we do flyball with wear this harness and even when their dogs are pulling super hard before they run and I never hear them choking, which is great! This harness is perfect for small and large dogs.
 
Rating: 5 out of 5 paws!


The colors are great (Sarafina has the purple!) and I love that it has reflective strips on it and that is also able to get wet, because Sarafina loves swimming so that will be a great help in the summer. I bought my ComfortFlex Harness from Clean Run in South Hadley, MA (www.cleanrun.com). For more information on the ComfortFlex Harness visit their website at http://comfortflexharness.com/
