It's Veterans Day and this year is special around here, because it marks 60 years since my dad served in the Korean War. He says he was lucky to make it home. Many of the soldiers who were part of the same transport didn't return. He taught me about the importance of doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do. This principle guides me when it comes to my efforts toward making a difference in the world of dog lovers and senior dogs.

So, thank you Dad! Thank you for your loyal service to our country. Thank you for showing me what it means to give fearlessly all those years ago. And thank you for being so sweet with Cleo. The both of you in your dotage couldn't be cuter senior citizens.
