I took Alex out for a short walk in the morning before Argo, a cute puppy, came to stay with us for the weekend. Alex is always excited when there is a dog/puppy coming to stay with us, but after the introduction period, she just goes back to doing what she does best, and that…

Happy Thanksgiving 2014
This was the first year that I did not see Cynthia cook for hours on end. For a change, this Thanksgiving day she decided to cook less things and take a nap. That is something unprecedented for her, but I was glad. Every year she asks me, “Why do you think my feet and legs…
Bundle Up Your Canine Companions
Many times, we assume that our furry kids can deal with a cold climate like the one we get here in Maryland, but that is not true. Our furry kids, just like us, do get cold and we must make sure that they are properly attire to withstand cold weather. Alex, in the above picture,…
Photographing Dogs: a Nightmare or Pleasure?
When I ask the following question: is it a nightmare or a pleasure to take pictures of your canine companions? I get so many different responses from pet parents that I decided to add my own. Handsome Walter, in the above picture, seemed to enjoy posing for this picture. Dexter,unlike Walter, did not care to…
Staying In Maryland
The above cutie pie is staying with us this weekend. She is very laid-back and although she is an only furry child, she does great with my dogs. I’ve realized that just because some dogs have no other “siblings” it does not mean that they will be anti-social with other dogs. After weighing all our…
Packing With The Help Of My Canine Companions
This is Alex contibution to our move: sleep like a baby. Since I know that dogs love routine, I am doing my best to keep things as usual specially when it comes to walks. Bella also enjoys her bed, but many times she hangs out by the sliding doors in our eat-in kitchen. Bella’s contribution:…
Boston Bound Family/Pack
Cynthia received a nice offer for a new job in Boston, MA so we’ll be moving within the next couple of weeks. Bella, our almost 4 year old pit mix, has never moved with us, therefore her reaction on the above picture is understandable, right? Alex, on the other hand, has moved with us several…
Kayaking With Dogs – What An Odyssey
Cynthia and I recently became kayaks enthusiasts, and of course, we had to bring our canine companions along with us in this fun ride. Well, it depends on what you consider fun. The first time we took them with us, it was chaotic and crazy, but we managed to keep our sanity throughout this ordeal. …
Have A Great Life Handsome Dexter
We met Dexter, a very handsome Boxer mix, about 2 years ago during a pack walk in Annapolis, MD and the impression I got of him was that he was a quiet and gentle boy and you know what? I was right. Dexter stayed with us for almost 3 weeks this time, and I was…
Bella, An Energetic Pit Mix
Alex, my 12 year-old pit mix, only started to settle down when she was about 10 years old. Yes, you read that right, 10 years. During those 10 years, I had to take Alex for long walks and get her to run a couple of times a week in order to keep my sanity. The…
