Kelly has been a pharmacist here at 1800PetMeds for about ten years. Throughout the years we have shared many stories, as is typical with a colleague you have worked with for a long time. I have heard about her children, her husband, her immediate family, her in-laws, and how much she loves each one of them. One year Kelly and I even did some Christmas shopping together and I got […]
Stories that I get exposed to throughout the day either have a positive effect on my mood and sense of well-being or a negative one. While the facts from any particular story do contribute to the feelings that the reader gets, other intangibles also have an effect. Many times I have read stories that describe something terrible but then go on to put a positive or a “miraculous” spin to […]
Duke is at least fourteen years old and for a large dog, this places him well into the geriatric range. This is the part of his life that should be spent relaxing in the morning light, eating his favorite treats, getting petted whenever he wants, and given all that an older gentleman would deserve in his golden years.

Now as we near the end of yet another calm hurricane season, I notice something happening to the psyche of many Floridians: we’re starting to get the feeling that “it will […]
One Sunday last month, the sun had barely risen when I was awakened by a banging on my front door. As I cautiously looked out the side window I could make out my neighbor, Mr. Velez, standing there and looking quite upset. “I don’t know what happened last night, but your dog kept barking and kept us up all night, and we do have to work in the morning!” Before […]
My dog Daisy was adopted and joined my family when Duke was already five years old. From the moment the two dogs set eyes on each other, something beautiful occurred–the two together became better than they seemed to be alone, each bringing out the best characteristics of the other. Duke always treats Daisy with gentleness and respect and Daisy reciprocates by being loving and trustworthy. Theirs is a relationship based […]
