1.  Foster a needy, homeless dog this year.  It’s an amazingly rewarding experience and saves a dog from probable death.  Just as Ms. Penny.

2.  Donate, either time, money or both, to worthwhile causes that help pets.  We support the work done by Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

3.  The economy sucks, money is tight, etc.  But you should still spoil her, just a little bit.

Happy New Year, dog lovers.
