Walking a dog in the afternoon when it’s hot and humid is certainly dangerous and I don’t recommend it, that is why when Summer comes to MA, I only walk dogs in the morning or evening. We all need our exercise, but you shouldn’t put yourself and your dog in harm’s way to do so….

Abby, My Social Butterfly
Abby is one of the friendliest and most playful dogs I’ve met, but even like that I continue to expose her to different dogs – yes even pit bulls – in order to brush up on her doggie manners. Regardless of the size, breed, age, etc., of your dog, socializing your dog should be an…
Happy Belated Birthday Abby!
My inpatient birthday girl could hardly wait for her breakfast. That look speaks volumes! Abby ate her delicious breakfast – finally! – which consisted of a stir fry and some kibble. She inhaled it. Yes, Abby was more than ready to go and get some cookies for her birthday. I like for her to travel…
Our Night Time Oral Care Routine
Brushing your dog’s teeth is very important for your overall canine companion’s health. Because of that I do my best – I do forget once in a while – to brush her teeth every night. Yes, each doggie has her own toothbrush and toothpaste. I always make sure that I place them in a spot…
Decorating A Christmas Tree With Doggies
This year – for the very first time – we decided to include Abby and Champagne in the decoration of our Christmas tree. Abby, as you can see, took the job of decorator very serious and was micromanaging Cynthia’s every move. Champagne, the beautiful pit bull, was our security guard. While on guard duty, she…
Thanksgiving 2017
And this is how we started our Thanksgiving day, with an uncooled turkey. Cynthia started to cook right after breakfast. We, of course, explained to Abby that the turkey doesn’t magically turn up cooked, but as you can see in the above picture Abby wasn’t buying our story. Let’s remember she just finished having breakfast….
Holidays = Chaos?
I know, chaos may be an exaggeration, but for most people holidays tend to be pretty busy and somewhat stressful. What I like about holidays, of course, happen to be the food “we” cook, I am using we very loosely since Cynthia is the one that cooks, while Abby and I end up being the…
Veterans Day 2017
Whether you are going to explore new places like Abby… Or making new friends, take a moment to remember this special day. Thanks to all those who served and their families.
Is Dog Behavior Modification Fast, Easy, And Simple?
If anybody tells you that dog behavior modification is fast, easy and simple to do, that person would be lying to you. In order to modify the behavior of a dog, you really need, at a minimum, 3 weeks. Whenever I am going to work with a dog, I do a meet and greet to…
Abby + Backpack = Good Girl
Abby is 2 1/2 years old and what I’ve found out is that she does well when she wears a backpack because it gives her a job to do, carrying things, while she exercises, and as a result she seems to be more relaxed. The first time I saw her with a backpack I couldn’t…
