Abby looked so serious sitting by our table, that I couldn’t resist taking her picture. Yes, Abby had a nice helping of our food and she inhaled it. Because most of Abby’s diet is made up of human food, there was not danger of her getting an upset stomach. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you,…

Fall 2018 And Your Canine Companions
The above picture of Champagne is exactly how I felt this past Summer: hot, bothered, and anxiously waiting for better weather. And you know what? My wish came true and here’s Fall! We’ve had rain and a lot of cloudy days lately here in Stoughton, MA but I can’t complain about the weather because it’s…
Summer 2018 – Go Away!
We’ve lived in Stoughton, MA 2 1/2 years, and Summer time in MA is beautiful, but this year I really want the Summer to be over and done. Why? I am tired of 90 degrees days and high humidity. Last Summer we went to Provincetown, or P town, and we enjoyed ourselves, but this Summer…
Are Dog Owners Healthier People?
Yes, I do believe that most, not all, dog owners are healthier people than those without dogs. I remember a couple of years ago when my Alex was injured and unable to walk with me, I went out by myself to walk, and I still remember how boring it was. I never did it again. …
Loose Leash Walking & Behavior Modification
I’ve met countless of pet parents that are unable to walk their dogs regardless of the dog’s weight, age, breed, etc. My most popular behavior modification class is, Loose Leash Walking with Your Dog. Depending on the dog and handler, getting a dog to walk properly could take one session or a few sessions. Why? …
No Afternoon Walks During Summer Time
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…
