You can’t see Charlie because he’s covered completely by that dark gray blanket. Now, my question to you is, why in God’s green earth they don’t use the 3 beds available to them? They are only using 2 beds. Let me know what you think. After our morning walk and breakfast, even our energetic Zoe…

Dogs Are A Lifetime Commitment Not A Christmas Present
Christmas is right around the corner, and if you are thinking about giving a puppy as a present to a friend or family member, please don’t. Yes, you read it right. A dog is a lifetime commitment and there are a lot of things to consider such as: will its new family have the time,…
Getting Ready For X-Mas 2023
We already put up our tree and ornaments for Christmas, but we forgot to check if we had enough accessories for our canines, and you know what? We did! Btw, the one that kept her accessory on longer and without any complaints was, drumroll please, Zoe! One interesting observation, there were 2 beds available, although…
Zoe Acclimating To A New Family/Pack
It’s been 5 weeks since we picked up Zoe from Barcs.org as a foster dog, and ended up adopting her. She is doing great. Every dog is an individual therefore the acclimation time could be days, weeks or months. And with that in mind, this is how she is doing: I love to see the…
Happy Thanksgiving 2023!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from all of us here in Annapolis, MD. The day is a little cold but it’s sunny so no complaints from our part. And then there were three. That is three cutie pies “attempting” to help with meal preparation. Yes, they will be rewarded handsomely later on today….
Vanna Got Adopted!
Vanna got adopted, wait for it, by us! We changed her name to Zoe, which means life in Greek, because she’s so full of life and energetic, and so our pack of dogs grew to 3 dogs. Zoe has a lot to learn and so we’ll be posting from time to time her progress in…
Sweaters And Jackets For Dogs?
Yes, dogs need sweaters and jackets! Specially dogs like Vanna that happen to have very short hair. Some dogs even need booties, but to be honest I have never made any of my dogs wear them. This morning the temperature in Annapolis, MD was in the mid 30’s so dogs and humans alike bundled up…
Vanna, Anxiety And Update
Vanna has been with us for a little over 3 weeks and she’s doing great. Her anxiety-licking her lips, pacing back and forth, and tucked tail-is diminishing as time goes by. Here are some of the things I do with Vanna: Vanna is an amazing little dog and she is progressing beautifully but let’s remember…
Dogs + Beds = Laughter
Years ago, I used to be obsessed with making sure that each dog would go to his/her bed, and now I wished I had recorded that because I could sit back and laugh at myself. Time went by, and now I just make sure that there are enough beds for all of them and let…
Update On Vanna
Abby, Vanna and Charlie (L to R) As you can see from the above picture, that’s the reaction I got from them when I told them to pose for us, but that there wasn’t going to be any treats for them. Could you believe that? Vanna is doing better regarding her loose leash walking, doors,…
