Let me start by expressing my gratitude to all the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces and their families, but also to the active duty personnel that every day do their job, however hard it may be, to keep us safe and allow us to have the freedom…

The Aftermath of Introducing a New Dog to Our Pack
We got Walter, Alex, and Dexter, (from left to right), to pose while I held a treat and Cynthia took this picture Walter and Dexter are getting along great. The nice long walk I use to introduce a new dog to our pack is worth it, and I’d recommend it to any pet parent adding…
Introducing A New Member To Our Pack
As a pet sitter, I am always introducing a new dog to my pack, and I was recently asked by a pet parent how do I go about doing such introduction, so I decided to share this information and experience with other pet parents and perhaps get some feedback as well. This evening, after dinner,…
Nylabone Exchange
For her birthday, Alex got an off white Nylabone. Walter’s parents brought a brand new white Nylabone. I gave Alex her off white Nylabone and the white one to Walter, but they both looked at their respective bones, and then went for the one that did not belong to them. Go figure! Walter seemed delighted…
Happy 11th Birthday Our Beautiful Alex
Alex turned 11 on May 5th, but because we had company we had to celebrate it on Monday. In the morning, for breakfast, I made Alex some stir-fry which she inhaled mixed with her kibble. In the afternoon, after she napped, we went to Petco and got some cupcakes, and a Nylabone. Once we got home,…
Saturday Morning After Our Walk
Right after we got back from our walk this morning, Alex, Gir, and Ellie, not featured in the above picture, decided to relax while Cynthia cooked us breakfast. Alex and Gir love to sunbathe as you can see here. Ellie, on the other hand, preferred to be away from the sun since she is a…
Bedrest For Alex
Tomorrow, Friday, will be two months since Alex, per her vet’s advice, was put on limited walks and a lot of bedrest. I was hoping that she’d be ready to go for our nice long walks, but a couple of days ago she started to limp again. The limping lasted a couple of hours and…
It’s Raining In Maryland
Well, I am not going to complain about the weather because we did have a wonderful weekend, but I do want to show you what Alex and Roxy have been up to this rainy day. Alex does not seem to be concerned at all about the weather. She and Roxy had a short walk, followed…
Walter Prefers To Hang Out Under The Table Rather Than His Bed
Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be 6 weeks of Alex being on limited walks and a lot of bed rest. Alex seems to be enjoying her bed rest. Walter, on the other hand, decided that the best place for him to hang out and fall asleep is under the table. I guess he does that because in…
A Lazy Sunday Afternoon
Alex, enjoying a well deserved nap. I envy her. I have very sensitive ears and even though I am asleep I can hear almost everything that is going on around me. But look at Alex. She is out like a light. Oliver, a Lhasa Apso, is our guard dog. He is the first one to…
