Kibble Or Fresh Food?
Are you just as confused as other pet parents when it comes to deciding what to feed your canine companion? Don’t feel bad, you are not alone. Alex, our first dog, ate mostly kibble til she got to be about 10 years old or so. Because I saw how much her mobility was declining, after…
Have A Great Monday! Really?
As you could see from the above picture, my canine kids certainly know how to start the week. Monday was never my favorite day, but now I am starting to learn to appreciate every day. Yes, even Monday. I had to post the above picture. Charlie seemed to be fascinated by that candle. A minute…

Spring Is Here!
Yes, Spring arrived in Maryland last month, but we’re still wearing sweaters and light jackets on certain days. By the way, we are starting to see some wonderful changes on Charlie which I’ll talk about on another post. Well, enjoy your weekend.

Abby, “So my mom has not been feeling well these last couple of days, therefore our walks, tummy rubs, treats, and so much more declined considerably. I didn’t know what to do so I asked her to take a look at our old pics and whichever one made her smile to post on her website….
Lessons From Our Dogs: Let’s Relax
It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Annapolis, MD and on Sundays we try, operative word try, to take this day to relax, and just enjoy being home. Living with dogs-if you pay attention-could teach you many things, one of them is learning to relax which for most people is hard to do. I look…
Happy Valentine’s Day 2022
Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you pet parents and your canine kids! Although the day started cloudy with some flurries, as time went by it turned out to be sunny and nice enough to take a long walk. Aside from celebrating this day about love, we also celebrate it because Charlie, yesterday, has been…
Back To Our Old Routine
Since Abby and Charlie were driving us up the wall-totally my fault of course-this is what their day looks like: Walking – extremely important therefore I listed it first. If possible, twice a day Behavior and Training – make your pup wait for you while you take laundry out of the dryer; eye contact to…
