Alex’s Diet And Nutrition: Chicken And Rice

Let me start by saying that the above photo that features, arroz moro, plantains, and chicken wings, is not what Alex eats.  Once in a while I do mix a very small amount of rice and beans with her food to add taste and fiber, but not this particular rice, arroz moro, because it has…

Why Bother With Dog Obedience Training?

You’ll be surprised how many times I’ve heard people ask me the above question, and I’ll start with an example using my dogs and myself to best illustrate my answer, which is always, “Yes, take your dog for Obedience Training, and you’ll see the difference between living with an unruly dog and one that has…

The 3 Musketeers On The Road: From Michigan to Toronto, Canada

Well, as much as we liked visiting family, it was time for us to get going so we took some more pictures and headed to Toronto, Canada. It took us a couple of hours to get to the border and although, so far, all the Canadians I’ve met have been polite, friendly, nice, etc., the…

The 3 Musketeers On The Road To Michigan

Joint Problems And Walter

The last time Walter stayed with us, May of this year, Cynthia mentioned to me that Walter went up the stairs using his hind legs in unison and I agreed with her since I had seen it myself, therefore I did a bit of research and I found out that some dogs do that when they…

Alex’s Furry Friends: Milo and Bella

We had a couple of days off and I was determined to take Alex for an outing to Annapolis, but it just did not happen.  I’d have to say totally la mia culpa.  I promised to make it up to her the next time she is the only kid at home:) These 2 beautiful canine…

Going Back Home

Dexter was picked up by his mom this morning, and I finally remembered to ask her why does he like to sit pretty?  She said that he likes to sit pretty so he can get his belly rubbed.  The mystery was finally solved. Sarris will be picked up this evening.  She is one of the many…

All Things In Moderation

I am a firm believer that we can all do things in moderation rather than abstaining from them, and as such we find balance in life. Let me start by giving you an idea about our morning routine, and it goes something like this: Morning walk/run Morning ablution: brush hair and wipe and inspect paws Breakfast…
