We were lucky to have a white Christmas this year in New England. Yes, I did say lucky. I think the one that enjoyed it the most was Abby. Yes, it took a little bit of convincing from both of us to get Abby back indoors. She loves to play in the snow. And this…

Happy Holidays 2017
I can’t believe 2017 is almost over. Time certainly flies and December is usually a blur. Some of us, ok some of them, like Abby and Cynthia will be busy decorating. Others will be traveling to spend these holidays with family. We, like many others, will be spending our time with cute but ungrateful children…
Decorating A Christmas Tree With Doggies
This year – for the very first time – we decided to include Abby and Champagne in the decoration of our Christmas tree. Abby, as you can see, took the job of decorator very serious and was micromanaging Cynthia’s every move. Champagne, the beautiful pit bull, was our security guard. While on guard duty, she…
Thanksgiving 2017
And this is how we started our Thanksgiving day, with an uncooled turkey. Cynthia started to cook right after breakfast. We, of course, explained to Abby that the turkey doesn’t magically turn up cooked, but as you can see in the above picture Abby wasn’t buying our story. Let’s remember she just finished having breakfast….
Holidays = Chaos?
I know, chaos may be an exaggeration, but for most people holidays tend to be pretty busy and somewhat stressful. What I like about holidays, of course, happen to be the food “we” cook, I am using we very loosely since Cynthia is the one that cooks, while Abby and I end up being the…
Veterans Day 2017
Whether you are going to explore new places like Abby… Or making new friends, take a moment to remember this special day. Thanks to all those who served and their families.
Is Dog Behavior Modification Fast, Easy, And Simple?
If anybody tells you that dog behavior modification is fast, easy and simple to do, that person would be lying to you. In order to modify the behavior of a dog, you really need, at a minimum, 3 weeks. Whenever I am going to work with a dog, I do a meet and greet to…
South End, Boston, MA (Woofstock)
I thought I died and went to heaven when I saw so many dogs and their pet parents this past weekend in a fair appropriately named Woofstock. To say that Abby and I loved it would be an understatement. A few dogs were ready for Halloween, and so they were socializing with others while showing…
Abby Relaxing This Weekend
In the majority of pictures I post, you see Abby working, but does she ever take some time off? Yes, she does and I have plenty of pictures to prove that. See what I mean? My girl works hard, but she also takes plenty of naps in her favorite bed. Yes, she has a few beds….
Walking With Abby
If there’s one thing Abby and I – Ok sometimes some of Abby’s friends as well – do is walk. The above picture was taken in Plymouth, MA. I go through shoes really fast, as you can imagine, but I enjoy walking with dogs. Walking is a great exercise for you, pet parent, and your…
