It was supposed to be 20 degrees today here in Maryland, but when we went out to walk with Alex it felt more like -5.  If you are planning to walk your dog in cold weather, please make sure you bundle her up, you too of course, and make the walk a little shorter than…

BBQing In January

Yes, I know.  You are probably thinking, “Why would anybody be bbqing in January?”  Specially when we live on the east coast, but on my defense I’d like to say and point out that Cynthia offered to bbq, and I accepted her offer.  The day was very sunny, but cold and there were two sous chefs on…

Alex Sprained Her Leg

This week I went to run some errands and when I came back, Alex greeted me with so much enthusiasm that she ended up hurting her front right leg.  We usually walk for about 40-60 minutes twice a day, but since Thursday she is on bed rest. Alex’s favorite pastime is sleeping, but I don’t…
