Chris and Tina van Wolbeck sent a donation this week in honor of Kate and Marshall Reed’s recent kindness. What did the Reeds do to inspire such a generous gift to the dogs? Chris tells the story himself, along with the lessons that came out of a very scary experience.
When I shopped for our newest family member a little over a year ago, I was no different from scores of people who pour over hundreds of teeny tiny hard to see photos on websites in search of “the” dog face that would somehow speak them. What an enlightening but maddening experience!
If your dog has a lust for life, you might really like a treadmill for days when a quick winter walk just isn’t going to cut the mustard. Physically confident dogs can take to them almost immediately (Star did!) Other dogs need days or weeks of mini-sessions around and finally on the mill before they feel comfortable enough to jog with joy. Once they get it, you can get them dog tired in just 10-20 minutes time. Priceless.
