I lost my first dog in Jan of 09 and I’m still not over her.
But just want to say thanks for everything that you do for us real Conservative Americans.

Jenny

Our 5 yr old Labradoodle, Jenny, died yesterday after falling ill 10 days ago.  She was the most wonderful friend, companion, therapist, jester, family member.  I can not believe just how much she has done for our family in only 5 short years.  She was Love on a Leash.

Buddy

Hi Mark. I am a newcomer to your website. I have listened to your show on air several times as I travel across this great country of ours the U.S. of A! I am a truck driver trying to find my dream on the road. The apple pie dream however is just that-a dream. I’m 49 years of age broke and trying my hand at driving truck. But the $7,800 gross I have made this past 6 months and $2,400 net pay are not much of an incentive. I do however have a companion on my truck I named “Buddy.” Buddy is my 14 pound male neutered Pomeranian I found at the local dog pound in Post Falls, Idaho. He’s my chief of security while we travel. I only hope that somewhere on this journey I can find a way to make a living. I am fearful that our current president is too self-absorbed with his own agenda that those of us working-class cannot make a living. I am a baby-boomer who is college educated-B.S. Degree and can’t make a decent buck. I am homeless except for the truck I stay in while on the road. I have no apartment, home, just my company truck. Is there hope? I don’t know. I’d like to think so. So Buddy keep on truckin’ in the hope things will improve. Thanks again for your insights.

Benjamin and Franklin

This is Benjamin (boxer/ mountain dog mix) and Franklin (chocolate lab), both rescue dogs. We adopted Benjamin two-and-a-half years ago in Dallas and have just recently brought Franklin into our family. He was saved by my mother-in-law when she found him on the side of the road, sad and destitute. He is suffering from a badly fractured leg and heartworms but is well on his way to a full recovery. We haven’t had him long but already couldn’t imagine life without him.

Thank you Mark, for all the work you do, for dogs and humans alike.
