As a dog parent to three rescue pups, I know the trials and tribulations of rearing well behaved (and sometimes not-so-well-behaved) city dogs-and it is TOUGH. Barkswell is a safe place to share and grow, laugh and probably shed a tear or two, and to build community with other dog lovers and owners (while hopefully learning something along the way). What better way to enrich the lives of our beloved pets than to connect with each other on their behalf? Barkswell is for the rainy days, the sunny days, the potty training days and the mastering tricks days. We are also everything in between. Our blog articles are simple: • We Care are health and nutrition related; • We Recall are all the lovely stories in memory of pets we have loved and lost; • We Love are personal or rescue stories; • We Learn are all the tips and tricks or how-to’s that help us be better dog parents! My long-term goal is to create a brick-and-mortar location that meets all of our dog-parenting needs: Safe play spaces, retail goodies, grooming, and maybe, just maybe, a good cup of coffee too! Join our growing community of local and international posters by submitting your story – we would love to hear from you. I am so proud of Barkswell, of our authors, and of our pups-thanks for sharing in this crazy adventure by helping us build the Barkswell community!
