Healthy Pets, Healthy Lives !
Summer typically brings lots of fun and outdoor adventures, which most of us look forward to, but with it comes a higher abundance of pesky insects and parasites that may impact the wellbeing of our pets. We try to avoid using toxins in/on our pets (and in our own environments), but in some cases, we may need to choose our battles based on how difficult the flea/tick problem is to…

Four times a day, Leslie takes her black Lab for a walk outside her home in the northwest suburbs. “Get busy,” she commands. If you’re wondering why you’re reading a third column in a week about picking up after dogs, well, stick with me, and you’ll see there is no choice here. Some threads simply must be pulled. If you recall, Monday’s column quotes the Cook County animal law, Sec.…
The Dog Days of Summer are upon us and that might not bode well for the cats in Pike County that have hopes of winning the Humane Society of Pike County’s 2022 Pet Photo Contest. But cats have nine lives and they will be in the race down to the wire. Donna Brockman, HSPC president, said it’s any animal’s race to win. Copper, the best friend of Susan and Benny…
If you have never heard of Sergio, the wee little Chihuahua, who lives in Westchester, you will now. This little guy, who is very fit at 6 pounds, was rescued several years ago by Jeanmarie Daly. Of course everyone thinks their dogs, especially Chihuahua owners, are the absolute best of the breeds, but there’s something rather different and extra special about Sergio. He attends French classes. “Oui” you read that…
Dog’s name and age: Zoe, 14 years Nicknames: Zo-Zo, Butpz, Princess, Doll Adoption Story: After we adopted Zoe, we learned she had the parvovirus. She had to be hospitalized and put on IV for three days. At only 2 pounds, she was not given a very high survival rate by doctors. Miraculously, she pulled through that terrible disease, and I call her my miracle fur baby.
Dog’s name and age: Riley, 1 Year Nicknames: Rileypup Adoption Story: We adopted Riley from the humane society at ten weeks old. She had a little cold and required some medications when we brought her home, but we couldn’t be happier that we did! When picking her name, we wanted something Irish because we adopted her on St. Patrick’s day, and we thought Riley would be a good fit. At home, Riley loves…
Every doggo is different but when it comes to proud pet parents looking for advice or insight, we love to crowd source. Whether we’re trading tips at the dog park or sharing our experiences online in the pup-parent forums, it’s always helpful to find out what works for other dog-friendly families. And when it comes to toys that keep our furbabies active, entertained and stimulated in both mind and body,…
With a heavy heart, I must tell you that, after 23 years, we are ceasing publication of The Bark. There are oh-so-many reasons for this decision. In the last decade, many corporate-owned magazines have folded following precipitous declines in both readership and advertising. As an indie magazine, we have found this larger trend to be insurmountable. On a personal note, I have been working on The Bark in what seems like…
