Avril – 52568155 BARCS

Isn’t Avril adorable? She is currently boarding with us at All My Canine Companions as a foster. She is spayed and ready for her new home. She is wearing a cute sweater, a pink backpack, she is a girl after all, and a Gentle Leader. What does she love to do? Get kisses, get close…

Dealing With Grief And Hazel

Almost 10 years ago, when we went to visit family, were were fortunate enough to meet Hazel. She was so beautiful and so in love with our Alex. Hazel passed away a few days ago, and although I’ve mourned the loss of my dogs and that of my clients, I never assume that they feel…

3 Reasons To Crate Train Your Dog

There are many reasons why your dog should be crate trained, but I think these 3 that follow-for me-are the most important: Avril, the cutie pie in the above picture, is learning the ins and outs of crate training and she is doing wonderful. I like to put a comforter to cover the crate to…

BARCS And Avril – Cutie Pie!

All My Canine Companions formed a partnership with BARCS, Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Center, and so we will be fostering dogs from this organization from now and on. Dogs get returned to a shelter because they may have training, but not behavior which includes things such as: no counter surfing, walking properly on leash,…

Dog Friendly Series – Jiffy Lube

Let me start by saying that I do not get any compensation in any way, shape, or form from Jiffy Lube, and that I decided to highlight the places we go to in Maryland, with an emphasis on Anne Arundel County, that are dog friendly in order to encourage other pet parents to take their…

Is It Spring Or Summer?

I am a bit confused with the weather here in Maryland. The last couple of days have been chilly-no, cold is the better word-but a few weeks ago we had temperature that went up to 75 degrees. I was about to put all our winter clothes away, but the cold weather came back, so Abby…

Happy Belated Birthday Abby & Charlie!

Let me start by saying that I am a terrible mom. Why? I forgot Charlie’s birthday, and because of that we had to celebrate their birthdays together. My focus at the beginning of the year happens to be taxes, and I know that is just an excuse, so I will do better next year. Abby,…

Imitating Abby

It’s finally Friday and Abby-many times-is the example to follow. Taking a nap will definitely be on my to-do list this weekend. We’ll probably cook-we meaning Cynthia-while our doggies sleep or decide to help out. Translation of helping out = eat anything that fell on the floor. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you…

Bye Bye Roxy

Roxy, the beautiful Pomeranian on the above picture, crossed the rainbow bridge last week. Our deepest sympathy to Roxy’s family. Thank you Deborah for trusting us with her, and for giving us the opportunity to get to know such an amazing dog. Roxy used to stay vacationing with us often, and we loved having her…
