Dog lover to dog lover: Let's face the heckin facts! It's been a ruff-ruff year.

We may even say that using doge speak, but we aren't taking the year lightly. We know as well as the next person that we are all well overdue for some happiness.

How does one keep pushing forward when things look so gloomy and doomy? Naturally, by continuing to delight daily in mankind's BEST friend: dogs.
