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. Weather permitting, we’ll probably BBQ, take some walks, naps, and just enjoy the…

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…

Confessions Of A Dog Trainer And Pet Parent- Relaxing The Rules

To say that Abby and Charlie were given lots of food, treats, naps, and freedom since November of last year would be an understatement. Let me start from the beginning. Once November came around, my body went into holiday mode so the kids, Abby and Charlie, for the most part did what they wanted. And…

Belated Happy New Year 2022

Happy New Year! Sorry for the delay. Let’s give you a run down of what we did this past holiday. We ate a lot-as expected-both humans and canines; we slept and took naps; we did walk, and added playtime for Abby and Charlie in order to stay consistent and active; and-wait for it-we realized that…

A New Bed For Abby And Charlie

We got a new bed for Abby and Charlie a few weeks ago-at this point you’re probably saying to yourself, “That’s so nice of you”-because we got tired of moving their two beds from the kitchen to the living room. By now you’ve realized that such action was self-serving. Anyway, Abby and Charlie are still…

Thanksgiving 2021

I hope you had a wonderful, uneventful Thanksgiving! We enjoyed our food, the company of our canine kids, and the visit of handsome Remy. Look at that face! Stay safe.

Getting Ready For Thanksgiving 2021

Although we will be staying home this holiday, I was so glad to see on TV the amount of people traveling to see their loved ones which brought for me a sense of normalcy. What a difference a year makes! This year we got everything needed for our Thanksgiving meal so we’ll let you know…

Do Dogs Need Sweaters And Blankets In Winter?

Yes, dogs need sweaters and blankets once the weather starts turning cold specially if your dog has short hair, she is a puppy or senior, and also if she is recuperating from injury/illness. Abby and Charlie both wear a sweater and sometimes jacket when we go out, they both have short hair, and a sweater…

Annapolis, MD Sailboat Show

I enjoy going to downtown Annapolis, and that’s what we did this past weekend not knowing that it was time for the annual sailboat show. To say that there was a lot of people would be an understatement, and because of that I asked Cynthia to wear her mask, and only remove it for this…
