Are you just as confused as other pet parents when it comes to deciding what to feed your canine companion? Don’t feel bad, you are not alone. Alex, our first dog, ate mostly kibble til she got to be about 10 years old or so. Because I saw how much her mobility was declining, after…

Happy Birthday Abby!
Abby turns 7 years old today. Could you believe how time goes by so fast? We are so happy to have her in our lives and so this is what we’ve planned for her: Yummy brunch, she had some fried rice and eggs this morning; napping in front of the fireplace which she seems to…
A Rainy Day In Annapolis, MD
Yes, it’s raining in Annapolis, MD and to be frank I truly don’t care for rainy days, but if you look at Abby and Charlie I’d say that they are taking advantage of this weather. Don’t you think so? On the plus side, we did get to have a nice morning walk today so I…
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.

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

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…
