Abby, just like Alex, is very people and dog friendly, and of course she was not going to pass up the opportunity of meeting this nice man. Abby has come a long way in regards to meeting people. At the beginning, let’s remember she was a puppy, she’d pee every time she’d meet someone new,…

Malibu Beach, Abby, & New Memories
We enjoy going to Malibu beach because we see lots of pet parents with their furry kids walking around, people with kids, and so much more. I want us to make new memories with Abby so I thought this was a good place to start. Abby certainly seemed to enjoy it. Being that she is…
Kitchen Help Wanted
For those of us that have furry kids, preparing a meal – heck, even making a sandwich- feels like someone put up a sign that says, “Kitchen help wanted,” and our canine companions never fail to answer such ad. Look at the attention they are paying Cynthia. Cynthia moved to get something from the fridge,…
Missing Alex – Happy 14th Birthday
It’s been a couple of months since Alex passed away and we still miss her very much. Today, May 5th, would have been her 14th birthday. I do wish we had more time together, but I am grateful for the time we spent with her. What Alex enjoyed the most was sunbathing. There were times…
My Love Affair With All My Canine Companions
When I was a child living in Ecuador, dogs, as well as a menagerie of animals that belonged to my grandmother, were part of my every day life. What I didn’t know then was how important dogs would be in my life and how much they would teach me about love, patience, determination, and so…
Shopping At Home Depot With Abby
Moving is always hectic and time consuming and we’ve been busy unpacking, cleaning, buying things for our new place and much more. Home Depot is one of the places we’ve been going to lately a lot so we take Abby with us to expose her to new people, environment, sounds, etc. Abby got to work…
Excessive Pacing & Your Canine Companion
I’ve had a few clients ask me, “My dog paces excessively in the house and I don’t know what to do. What would you recommend to get rid of this annoying habit?” The first thing I always tell them is to have their vet check their dog for it may be something related to his…
Snow Storm in Massachusetts – 2/5/16
To say that it snowed in Massachusetts last Friday would be an understatement. Well, we had to make the best out of all that snow, so on Saturday morning we ventured out with Abby to let her do her business, play and take some pictures. Abby was a little hesitant about going out and getting…
Raising Abby To Be A Balanced Dog
To say that I do my best to take Abby every place I can would be an understatement. Here are some of the things I do with her: Since I hate with a passion going to the supermarket, while Cynthia goes shopping for groceries, Abby and I go to explore the neighborhood. Abby accompanies me…
Learning To Live In The Moment
I moved from Maryland to Massachusetts almost a year ago, and I can say with certainty that if there was ever a time when living in the moment was put to a test, this was it. In the last 11 months there were so many changes: my Alex went to that Rainbow Bridge I believe…
