TAIL WAGGING FUN
Welcome!
Welcome to my dog-loving corner of the internet!
Hi, I’m Debbie!
I’ve been a devoted pet parent for more than 20 years. I’ve had the joy of raising my rescue dog, Mirage (pictured above with me at a baseball game) since she was a puppy. I was also a dog mom to my husband’s partner, Paco (pictured with his flying disc toy), a brave police K9, who crossed the rainbow bridge in 2015.
