“At the end of the day, we are all here to help each other out. That is what makes a community."  -Maryellen Bowers

It all started in Nanny’s kitchen, where a 2-year-old Maryellen sat in the middle of the table, covered from head to toe in flour, sifting cup after cup of the magical, floating powder to her heart’s content. Eyes wide with curiosity, Maryellen captured every detail as her grandmother, Nanny, gracefully danced throughout the kitchen, preparing every last morsel from scratch. As the years passed, Maryellen moved from the middle of the table, to a chair pulled up to the counter, to right by Nanny’s side, where she has never left, even if in spirit.

People ask me all the time if I’m a Vegan. The answer is no. Not that there is anything wrong with being vegan, or vegetarian for that matter, but neither of those lifestyles make me feel awesome all the time. They do, however, work for lots of people.  Once someone knows that I’m not Vegan, they are curious about what a health coach does eat, what diet do I subscribe too? Am I Paleo, Raw Foods, Atkins, Body Ecology? I love characteristics of all of them, and various aspects of each one works well for different people, but I don’t subscribe to any one way of eating.

Meet, Lady, an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd and the official mascot of ChesterCounty-Pa.com. Read her first of many doggie reviews below where she rates her experience at Camp K-9 Paradise for Paws. Make sure you check out the special offers from Camp K-9 during the month of May.

My name is Lady and I chose to guard and herd the Kelly family about 11 years ago. They had a nice smell, excellent flavor from my initial licking test and gave exceptional tummy rubs right from the start. The littlest one, Indy, was a challenge to herd at first, but now that she is nine, it’s much easier to keep her in line.  I take the mom, Meghan, out for walks in trails by the house and love going for rides in the dad’s 65 GTO convertible. There’s nothing like having the wind in your hair. I have about four acres of territory that I need to patrol and sometimes, just for kicks, I attempt to herd the deer that run through my yard. I try to keep it interesting.
