Almost 5 months have gone by since Alex’s ACL injury, and I am glad that we did not put her through surgery. Well, that is thanks to Cynthia for talking me out of it. Years ago, Cynthia and I took a class in college and our instructor called us, the dynamic duo, and you know…

Revisiting Post – Burn Off Pent-Up Energy With a Backpack
When I first posted about using a backpack to drain my dog’s excessive energy, I received a question from a fellow blogger about how often to use a backpack and how much weight to put as “cargo.” Let me start by saying that every dog is an individual, and as such you need to figure…
I am Sooo Tired – TGIF
Because the weather is so nice today here in Odenton, MD, we took a nice walk and once I cleaned them up, each furry kid took a spot to hang out and/or fall asleep. Bella is the youngest one, 3 years old, therefore she was relaxing by the sliding doors and found herself in the…
How Do I handle Walking Dogs With Different Energy Level?
When Cynthia is able to help me, I walk 2 dogs and she walks the other 2. Those with higher energy level are walked longer by yours truly. But, when Cynthia is unable to help me this is what I do: I walk Alex, my slow walker, and Bella together for about 15 to 20…

TGIF – Siesta Time
Around 1pm, I took Alex and her canine companions out for a short walk around the neighborhood. When we were a couple of minutes away from home, it started to rain so we had to hurry up since I did not want them to get wet. After I dried them, they had a nice snack…
My Journey Through Life With Alex
I recently read one of my favorite blogs, Marking Our Territory by Will and Eko, and although I’ve never met them, I felt a sense of fellowship with Will. Why? He wrote that Eko, Will’s dog, is his anchor. Alex, my pit bull mix girl, teaches me every day to appreciate the little things that…
Two Months With Bella
A little over two months have gone by since Bella, our foster dog, came to live with us. The changes I see in her and the continuous progress she makes every day makes us all happy and hopeful that one day she’ll find her forever home. Here’s a progress report on Bella: Walking – On…
