FOX 13′s Ken Suarez and Jamie Cook  just left after doing some pieces for a story on a grief counseling class that we are holding this month.

Grief is hard! I’ve lost loved ones before, and there’s nothing quite like that emptiness. When I was little, we had a pair of cocker spaniels. When the girl passed away, I remember sitting in front of the window in the dining room and crying because I missed her.

This class will help those who have lost a pet deal with the grief that they face. Dr. Jeanne Raschke has asked those attending the class to bring pictures and maybe even have something ready to share.

It’s a great opportunity to learn “how to deal” and best of all it’s free.

Our first blog post EVER and have we got a dog for you. Maggie is a terrier mix, and she loves belly rubs. No, seriously, she LOVES them.

I have never seen a dog do this, but I had the pleasure of witnessing it while shooting some b-roll with Jamie from Fox 13. He wanted to get some footage of any transfers from afar, and Maggie fit the bill. We took her out the visitation area behind the kennels, and once I took that leash off, I didn’t get what I was expecting.

Take the factors of being locked up in a kennel without room to play, not a lot of visitors on such a slow day, and that day being a beautiful sunshiny Florida day…one would expect a highly energetic dog in need of some taming. But, as soon as the leash was removed, Maggie didn’t run away, she didn’t start jumping everywhere, she didn’t even leave my side. Instead, she rolled over onto her back…and this is what took place…

This was a reinactment, but not far from the truth. Maggie needs a home…and someone who gives great belly rubs.
