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,…

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…

My Contortionist Abby And Her Foochie Paws

Have you paid attention to your dog’s sleeping positions? I have, and based on my extensive research I will venture to say that dogs are contortionists. I mean, look at the above picture. Even when I was a kid I was not as flexible as Abby seems to be. Ok, now that we’ve established that…

Life + Dogs = Balance

Our canine companions do change our lives in so many ways. For some pet parents-like me- dogs bring joy, laughter, more exercise, and even more interaction with other pet parents. Then, there are those pet parents that are stressed out and tired because of their dogs’ antics, but that is easy to fix. Easy? Yes,…

Looking Forward To 2023

How was your Christmas? I hope you had a wonderful time. I felt exactly like the above picture, tired and content after eating a delicious meal, but grateful for all the blessings in my life. Now, who is impatiently waiting for the new year? I just hope I make it to 12AM so I can…

Are You Ready For Xmas?

I haven’t met anybody that has said that they are ready for Xmas. Have you? I’d venture to say that most of us are concern about food, traveling, our dogs, presents, etc., but that’s fine. Just remember that although holidays tend to be a bit stressful, if you take sometime for yourself, you just might…

Happy Thanksgiving 2022

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Were you waiting for loved ones to get home like these two cuties in the picture? Or did you spend it quietly and peacefully with one or two people? However you decided to spend this past holiday, I wish you had a wonderful, uneventful, happy time. By the way, you thought I…
