Hi Emily..
yes, at one time we had the 'home' button return to the homepage, but we changed it back after some people didn't like it that way....
I guess for now that is the way you have to do it, or mark dogaddicts.com in your bookmarks. Then you can just use that!

Thanks for asking, tho.. all input is greatly appreciated. We try to make things as easy as possible.
Anyone else want a home button to go back to the home page?
