Let me start by saying thanks to our military personnel-that includes the canine units- and their family for all the sacrifices they make for us every day. I love living in Crofton, MD but we finally found a house suited to our wants and needs in Annapolis so we’ll be busy this holiday moving our…

Finding Happiness In Simplicity
Lately watching the news is scary and depressing-to say the least-but then I take a look at Abby finding happiness in simple things such as: walking, taking a ride in the car, eating, etc., and all I feel is a great sense of gratitude. Dogs are great teachers, and for me they are an integral…
How to Move With Dogs Without Stressing Them Out
In January we moved from MA to Maryland, and to say that Abby was excited about our move would be an understatement. She loved “inspecting” the boxes we were putting together to pack our things; she dashed between Cynthia and yours truly as if to “help” us pack; she watched Cynthia like a hawk while…
Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining
To say that the coronavirus pandemic has affected our lives would be an understatement, but I choose to be optimistic and find a silver lining in every cloud. With that being said, living in semi-isolation has afforded me the time to take Abby for more walks; catch up on some of my reading; write a…
Getting Settled in Maryland With My Pack
Yes, that’s how tired Abby looked after helping us unpack. By the way, she is lucky since we are not unpacking everything. Remember to provide your canine companion a bed and some blankets. Sorry Abby, but I had to capture that facial expression. We are taking nice walks except when the days don’t permit us…
Back Home – Maryland
Yes, we’re finally back home. Home is really where your heart is, and a long time ago I realized that that place was Maryland. For the last 5 years, we lived in Stoughton, MA and although it was a nice place, and we met amazing people and dogs, I always hoped that we had the…
Abby’s Trip To Canada – Part 2 of 2 (Quebec)
Yes, we were totally lost when we visited Quebec, but it didn’t matter to us. How come? We had a good time exploring this beautiful city, and eating along the way. We were all ready to go back to Massachusetts after visiting Canada, but I think Abby a bit more because she watched us carefully…
Abby’s Trip To Canada – Part 1 of 2 (Montreal)
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog, but lots of things happened the last few months that kept me busy: my mom fell down and had to have surgery; Cynthia’s mom passed away; my mom stayed with us for a while; a few doggies stayed vacationing with us; and Abby, of course,…
Abby, A Cute Working Dog
Abby is a working dog, and if you ask her she’ll probably tell you that she needs a raise in the form of more cookies and human food. One of Abby’s task is to carry her own gear. Yes, people, there were a few cookies in that backpack. Abby also helps me walk dogs. The…
How To Prevent Dry Skin On Your Dog
Dogs, just like us humans, tend to get dry skin specially during Winter. There are many things that I could recommend such as: changing his food, running a humidifier, making sure he is drinking enough water, etc. to avoid dry skin, but do you know what? This is the one thing, above all, that will…
