Almost 10 years ago, when we went to visit family, were were fortunate enough to meet Hazel. She was so beautiful and so in love with our Alex. Hazel passed away a few days ago, and although I’ve mourned the loss of my dogs and that of my clients, I never assume that they feel…

3 Reasons To Crate Train Your Dog
There are many reasons why your dog should be crate trained, but I think these 3 that follow-for me-are the most important: Avril, the cutie pie in the above picture, is learning the ins and outs of crate training and she is doing wonderful. I like to put a comforter to cover the crate to…
BARCS And Avril – Cutie Pie!
All My Canine Companions formed a partnership with BARCS, Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Center, and so we will be fostering dogs from this organization from now and on. Dogs get returned to a shelter because they may have training, but not behavior which includes things such as: no counter surfing, walking properly on leash,…
Dog Friendly Series – Jiffy Lube
Let me start by saying that I do not get any compensation in any way, shape, or form from Jiffy Lube, and that I decided to highlight the places we go to in Maryland, with an emphasis on Anne Arundel County, that are dog friendly in order to encourage other pet parents to take their…
Happy Belated Birthday Abby & Charlie!
Let me start by saying that I am a terrible mom. Why? I forgot Charlie’s birthday, and because of that we had to celebrate their birthdays together. My focus at the beginning of the year happens to be taxes, and I know that is just an excuse, so I will do better next year. Abby,…
Imitating Abby
It’s finally Friday and Abby-many times-is the example to follow. Taking a nap will definitely be on my to-do list this weekend. We’ll probably cook-we meaning Cynthia-while our doggies sleep or decide to help out. Translation of helping out = eat anything that fell on the floor. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you…
Bye Bye Roxy
Roxy, the beautiful Pomeranian on the above picture, crossed the rainbow bridge last week. Our deepest sympathy to Roxy’s family. Thank you Deborah for trusting us with her, and for giving us the opportunity to get to know such an amazing dog. Roxy used to stay vacationing with us often, and we loved having her…
SPCA Of Anne Arundel County, MD
We got our Charlie, the handsome boy above, from the SPCA Of Anne Arundel County in Maryland in 2021. Btw, whether you adopt from a shelter or buy from a breeder, make sure that you start working with your dog right away. Charlie is wearing a leash and collar inside the house. Why? Because I…
German Shepherds, Mixes, And Pet Parents
Charlie is our first GSD mix. Most of our dogs have been pit bulls or pit bull mixes, and although I did do some research about this particular breed, there were things that did amaze me, so here it goes: Although we did have GSD puppies when I was growing up, they belonged to my…
Shelter Or Breeder?
I, personally, prefer to foster and/or adopt from a shelter. There are so many dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, temperament, etc., so you really have a lot to choose from, and also you will be giving a dog a new home with you and your family. Now, although I do prefer to go with…
