All I Want For Christmas Is…A Forever Home!

Tuesday, December 11 2012 by Editor

By Jan Westmark-Allan Tank – a dog from Big Dog Ranch Rescue. All he wants for Christmas is a forever home!! Get ready for a “feel good” experience right now thanks to some cute puppy dog eyes! Yes, today’s blog is all about adopting a dog (not a horse) – but horse people are dog people, so it makes sense! My spotlight rescue is The Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Wellington, Florida is a not-for-profit no-kill shelter – and they do a great job of finding forever homes for their furry collection of dogs and puppies. I love their website and their ads – and now they have created a great YouTube video with Christmas music and a bunch of sad puppy dog eyes pleading that all they want for Christmas is a forever home! Very, very hard to resist! Some puppy dog eyes that are hard to resist!! Let Santa bring your family an adopted dog this Christmas! Enjoy the video and help Big Dog Ranch Rescue if you can.

Dover Saddlery Now Sells Sidelines Magazine! Great News!

Friday, November 16 2012 by Editor

By Jan Westmark-Allan The Dover catalogue and Sidelines Magazine in my mailbox on the same day – that’s a GOOD day! I live in a tiny town in Western North Carolina mountains. Think Mayberry and you have pictured it correctly! Our town is so small that our mail is not delivered to our houses but to a little 100-year old red former schoolhouse that is now our Post Office.
