I had a pet parent a while ago say, “Your house must be very noisy and chaotic when you have dogs staying with you.” Well, yes and no. Yes, my home is chaotic when: a pet parent is dropping off or picking up her furry kid because the other dogs can smell and hear this…

Memorial Day 2013
Let me start by expressing my gratitude to all the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces and their families, but also to the active duty personnel that every day do their job, however hard it may be, to keep us safe and allow us to have the freedom…
The Aftermath of Introducing a New Dog to Our Pack
We got Walter, Alex, and Dexter, (from left to right), to pose while I held a treat and Cynthia took this picture Walter and Dexter are getting along great. The nice long walk I use to introduce a new dog to our pack is worth it, and I’d recommend it to any pet parent adding…

Bedrest For Alex
Tomorrow, Friday, will be two months since Alex, per her vet’s advice, was put on limited walks and a lot of bedrest. I was hoping that she’d be ready to go for our nice long walks, but a couple of days ago she started to limp again. The limping lasted a couple of hours and…
