Wanting to own a dog was a good life choice. But, bringing Toby into my life was an even better one. Without him I’m not sure where I would be right now — mentally, physically or professionally. And, I can’t imagine my life without him.

From the moment I looked at him it was over. My life would never be the same.

If it weren’t for Toby…..

The day Toby came home.

….I would have never gone to BlogPaws….

….where we met amazing people and their pets….

….. have a really fun kayaking buddy ….

….be reminded that work, isn’t everything ……

….because sometimes you need to take some time to play and have fun ….

…followed by a good, long nap …..

My Dad and Toby.

Our pals over at Pets Add Life want to spread the word about the joys of pet ownership and how a pet can make a big impact on a persons life. Their campaign focuses on promoting the joys and benefits of responsible pet ownership, while also increasing the adoption of pets.

Want to participate? Post a picture of your pet to their Facebook page, and tell us why your dog, cat, bird, turtle, horse, etc. adds joy to your life.
