A Second Chance To Start Again

KAREN HARKNESS: Considering opening your home and heart to a homeless pet. There are many wonderful pets waiting for second chances and I guarantee you won’t be sorry.

Happy Pet-Friendly Holidays

KAREN HARKNESS: It’s important to remember that our pets are curious creatures and love to investigate everything around them, especially when their surroundings change. We will need to keep that in mind when decorating our homes for the holidays and hosting family dinners.

When It’s Time To Say Goodbye

KAREN HARKNESS: If we were to understand that animals have no problem with the natural cycle of life and do not fear their passing as much as we do ours, it would make this time of transition easier to bear. If we knew that the animals we love and cherish have souls that go on, as ours do, we may find their transition easier to bear.

An Abundance of Blessings

KAREN HARKNESS: Take a moment to look at your pets. Think about what they bring to your life. You adopted your pet for a reason. Whatever that reason, I’m willing to bet you may not have thought about the abundance of blessings you receive from your pets.

My Goal in Life

To Be as Worthy a Person as My Dog Believes I am

KAREN HARKNESS: I would like to suggest that the relationship between our pets and us is something that is mutually fulfilling. Our pets are certainly worthy in our eyes, but are we always worthy of them?

Happy, Balanced Pets

KAREN HARKNESS: What makes for a happy, balanced pet? There are many things, but the most important is ensuring that your pet’s needs are met. Ensuring that their overall mental, emotional and physical wellness is attended to is important in achieving this goal.
