Hello! Thanks for coming by my blog! My name is Janet Keefe and I live in New Hampshire. I am a part time bookkeeper, blogger, farmer, and entrepreneur (check out our online store)! I also formerly owned a pet sitting business. I have loved animals my whole life. My husband and I currently have 1 dog – a Lab mix – one long-haired cat, and a flock of 28 farm birds. You can read more about them in my posts, or on the “K-9 and Feline Crew” and “Barking Dog Organic Farm” pages. You can also read about many of our past “blog crew” members, now very sadly missed.
I have wanted to be a writer since I was in my early 20’s. I earned an Associate of Arts degree in Junior College with a major in English. I could never figure out how to make my writing into a job that would pay immediately, so it got lost by the wayside. I fell into bookkeeping accidentally and found that I have an affinity for numbers and attention to detail that works for that type of job. I currently do a little bit of bookkeeping from my home. Bookkeeping is boring. I have found my passion being with my pets, on our little farm, and writing this blog. It encompasses my passion for writing as well as my passion for animals.
I also enjoy reading, gardening, walking, and just being outdoors. I take joy in spending time with family and friends, and I am a homebody at heart.
Please feel free to contact me at jank@wagnwoofpets.com.

Melissa, what a sweet, sweet thing to say….that means so much to me. Thank you for the award…I will display it on here proudly.
In case you miss my reply to you. I don’t know whether this is of any interest to you, but Walter “Wingman” Dubbin mentioned using a vibrating collar on hikes. If you want to know more from him, you can find him here: http://walterslunchbox.wordpress.com/
Thank you so much, Clowie, for letting me know, it is definitely of interest.
Oh my DOG!!!! I love your new blog design Janet! This is so exciting. I guess I missed a post or something about it, but Mommy and I are thrilled and we hope you are really enjoying it.

Miss Harper Lee
Thank you, Miss Harper Lee! I am excited to have won Ku’s book and look forward to reading it.
Hi Jan! You left some nice comments on my blog last week, Wanted to say thanks! I just figured out how to add blogger friends on a list on the side of my blog, so I added you. Love reading your blog! Keep in touch!
Hi Yoda (& Roberta!),
You are welcome! And thank you for adding me to your blog list! I hope to spend more time reading yours too, and will also add it to my list….I’m in the process of actually making a separate page for that because I have a lot of blogs that I follow. The pet blogging community is really great, and I love that we support each other a lot.
Hi Jan,
My 1st. Experience on a blog. Not sure what yo expect. Good luck with it.
Keep me posted.
Hi Suzette!
Thanks for stopping by! I wasn’t really sure what a blog was all about, until I started this. Thanks, take a look around and see what you think!
Our golden looks a lot like your golden on the left of your sofa. She is 6 years old and just had her ACL repaired. It was a successful surgery….but it’s not the same knee as before. She doesn’t ever complain, but you can tell she is hurting after a day of play. We love her and hope she stays with us for a long time. Her name is Sarah Keefe.
PS: You are a very good writer Jan!
Thank you, Judy! Sorry to hear that Sarah had to have that surgery, but glad it was successful. I think Sarah was fairly new to your household when we visited you a few years ago. She was very sweet, and I remember that she was very dark like our Moses is, and beautiful!
A blog is a journey, a collective conversation, a rage against the world in all its inequities and a song of joy for its triumphs. A blog is a wonderful venue for sharing information, provoking debate and a re-telling of joke or story familiar to many of us.Thanks for sharing yours-keep it up!
Jan
Im not sure about this or what is a blog? Is this a place to brag about your pets?
Come back again and see what it’s all about, Rusty! There may be some bragging about my pets, but that won’t be the only thing! 🙂
