From left: Jake, the alpha; Hope, puppy mill survivor; and Windy, young diva.

As I look toward 2011, here is what I think my furkids would resolve:

Jake — take more naps.

Hope — work on trust issues.

Windy – plot to become the alpha dog.

As for me, I plan to get more involved with defeating puppy mills and dog auctions.

From Jake, Hope, Windy and their furparents: HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR!
