From the Editor: Brighten your life — adopt a pet

If you’re a reader of my weekly editorials, you’re probably aware that I, along with a lot of people love dogs.

I’ve been very fortunate and have had dogs my entire life.

Blitz, a loving and gentle golden retriever was my big brother that welcomed me home from the hospital after I was born.

Mitzy, a sweet and perfect black lab was my sister and my best friend, who I shared experiences with from when I was five until she passed away when I was 19.
