“Beautifully written with honesty and compassion for anyone grieving a dog.” — W. Bruce Cameron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Dog’s Purpose I’m deeply honored that Peggy Frezon included one of my essays in her upcoming book. If I could summarize my contribution in a single sentence, it would be this: “The dogs who love us fulfill something sacred in their being. They teach us loyalty, joy and a love so enduring that goodbye cannot have the final word.” If you’ve ever loved and lost a dog, I hope this beautiful collection brings you the same comfort and encouragement it brought me. Goodbye to a Good Dog: Healing, Comfort, and the Hope of Heaven After the Loss of Your Pet by Peggy Frezon Releases July 7, 2026, wherever books are sold and on Amazon.

Maybe the admin should share the terms of the deal so people will know what’s in it
Some in admin getting frustrated by inaccurate info floating around about the MOU, such as that the Iranians get $12 billion. The claims are false, I'm told. The deal is performance-based, for each step. If the Iranians deliver, they’ll get relief, one official said. If they don’t, they won’t.

If any nation ever launches attack drones and rockets into the USA, I would hope and expect the US government to defend us and pound whoever did it. If you don’t want Israel to do the same thing, don’t attack Israel.

As the NFRSA grows, we get busier - which is wonderful, we love it. Getting busier means we are now receiving applications for assistance every single day. In the first 12 days of June alone, we have already gifted 18 different grants to retired service animals for a range of issues - medications, emergencies, tests, scans, infections, and very sadly that final, heart-wrenching decision to say goodbye. The video shows the wonderful souls who have reached out to us. We have now gifted over £280,000 since our launch four years ago - and there are nearly 700 animals registered with our family - we cannot do it without you, and we are so grateful for every donation, whatever the size. We passionately believe we should recognise the extraordinary heroes who have devoted their lives to each and every one of us, and if you felt able to, we’d be deeply grateful for your help in making this happen. nfrsa.org.uk/ In return, we pledge to work - seven days a week, sometimes 24/7, to be there for whoever needs us. Weekends don’t exist, holidays are a no-go, but this is our commitment and we won’t rest for a moment in order to: ‘Protect our Protectors’. Thank you for the love you show them.

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!
