Jill Rosen is a reporter at
The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...
Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named
Leo Sesame and
Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named
Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.

Puppy mills are hideous places and its great to see blogs like this promoting the welfare of dogs that give us so much and take so little. Hopefully people will give more thought to looking for a good breeder before going to a mill! I have an article on my blog that allows owners to determine a good breeder.
