I Can’t Save a World that Won’t Be Saved
I sat in the hallways of a courthouse recently waiting for my turn to testify in a custody case. You might be surprised to learn that, as a Child Protective Investigator, I am far more likely to have to testify in a custody dispute than in a criminal trial. As I listened to the families in … Continue reading
Weekends are…..
Weekends are a time for families to reconnect and rejuvenate. A time to share the exciting as well as the mundane. A time to savor spending time with one another. And a time to sit with your chicken on your head.

The Fear of Dogs
Yesterday I read an article about a doctor that made a person with a guide dog leave his office because of his fear of dogs (http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2011/08/doctor-kicks-blind-man-and-his-service-dog-out-of-clinic/).

Rumpy Dog
All About Me!
Hi! My name is Rumpy, and I am an Alaskan Malamute. I used to live in Middle Tennessee, but now my family and I reside in southeast Alabama. I have this cool blog that I started in 2011. Here at rumpydog.com we talk about all things animal, with a focus on animal welfare and responsible animal companion guardianship. But we also like to throw in a heaping helping of cute! cute! cute! I mean, how could you look at me and not melt, right?
My story? Well, I was found on the side of a busy street. Jenny thought she would help me find my home, but nobody claimed me. So now I live with her. She's a pretty good ole' gal, but she is mighty stingy with the dog cookies. *sigh*
There are also some cats- they each have their own story. June Buggie is their chief spokesperson. He is 16 years old, crotchety, and not afraid to say what's on his mind.
