About Me
- Susan
- No, this is not a picture of me. This smiling face belongs to Allie, the eight-year-old Golden Retriever for whom this blog is named. I'm an award-winning writer who specializes in companion animal topics, especially those pertaining to dogs. In addition to my writing for periodicals, I've also written six books about dog care, including the best-selling Housetraining For Dummies. On this blog, I'll explore various aspects of living with dogs and writing about them -- with occasional detours into totally unrelated topics (because I can!). Enjoy!

A friend of mine is a retired marine and works in equine therapy in texas with disabled vets. It is very rewarding for the volunteers as well as the patients.
I donated my Icelandic horse, Little Red to the therapeutic riding center in san Juan Capistrano California. I am so proud of my little horse and the help he gives so many people.
Donating your horse must have been so hard for you to do, Terry, but I'll bet anyone who rides him thanks you (or would if they knew).
Why is it called "burial horses", do you know?
Because these horses pull the caisons that carry the coffins of soldiers and veterans buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
I have worked with kids, particularly autistic kids, with a therapy riding program. One near us uses donkeys & mules. I know that horses are good for MY soul!
