About

Hi, I’m Shannon, and I do all the writing here. But the inspiration for this blog is Luna, my German Shepherd. Luna was born just after Christmas in 2017 and came to live with us in early March 2018. She joined two other animals, Morgan, a mixed-breed dog, and Allie, a tortoiseshell cat. Allie and Morgan have since passed away, and Tsuki and Howl (mother and son cats) joined our family. Luna does all the taste testing for my homemade dog treats. She also does all the testing of any DIY projects I make for her. To learn more, click the button below.
