Well, that is a question that can only be answered once all factors are considered about the dog in question, therefore I’ll use Alex and her canine buddies as examples. Until early last year, I used to get Alex to run once or twice a week, but I stopped because the walks we take every…

Busy Week at Alex’s Place
This week has been pretty busy and we’ve had 2 new furry companions: Bear and Bingo. Our first one is this handsome 2 1/2-year-old boy, Bear. I think he might be the biggest dog we’ve taken care of so far. Because of his size, he is quite impressive, but he is very affectionate and playful….
July 4th Weekend With My Furry Companions
I took this picture while Dieter and Alex were asleep, but the flash woke up Dieter. Alex is so used to it that she can sleep right through it. This 4th of July was uneventful and enjoyable. Uneventful because nothing out of the ordinary happened, and enjoyable because even though we were able to hear…
Introducing Dieter, A Cute Vizsla
This is Dieter, a 2 1/2 year old Vizsla. When he is in his bed, he looks smaller than Alex. He was asleep, but woke up when he saw the flash. I know, I know, I should have let him sleep, but he is too cute not to photograph. Alex is so used to us…
Looking Out The Window
Alex and Dexter, from left to right, are watching what our neighbors are doing so they can later on share some gossip with us. I don’t know who’s turn is it to take notes so nothing goes unreported, but I am sure they’ll do a great job. Because this is a small window, Roxy had…
Dogs Exchanging Beds
Can you see Dexter on his big, comfortable bed? When I started pet sitting, a couple of years ago, I was obsessed with making the dogs that stayed with us use only their bed, but as time went by, I realized that they many times exchanged beds. Now, can you see Dexter on this little…
Siesta Time On a Really Lazy Afternoon
There are many things that the dogs that stay with us and Alex teach me, but there is one thing I had, and still have, a really terrible time doing for the longest time ever and that was, this is such a shameful confession since we Spanish are known for our siestas, taking a nap. As a child growing…
Hanging Out With My Girl, Alex
I took this picture last November while walking with Alex on a trail on a beautiful Fall day. Even though my neighborhood has a lot of areas where we can walk, I like to take Alex to different places outside of our neighborhood so she can experience new smells, people, dogs, etc. Lately, we’ve been pretty…
Guard Dogs Sleeping On The Job?
After our morning walk, Alex, a pit bull/Dogo Argentine mix, and Dexter, a boxer mix, were brushed and wiped, and because the weather was so nice we stayed hanging out on the deck for a little while. I like to brush them and wipe them after our walk not only because I like my house and dogs…
My Chaotic Home: A Laid Back Tuesday
I had a pet parent a while ago say, “Your house must be very noisy and chaotic when you have dogs staying with you.” Well, yes and no. Yes, my home is chaotic when: a pet parent is dropping off or picking up her furry kid because the other dogs can smell and hear this…
