Every year, just like many other people, I make a list of my new year’s resolution to tackle, but this year, surprisingly even to me, I failed to do so. Instead, I decided to do things I’ve been meaning to do for a while and unlike past years, 2014, although today is only January 4th,…

Happy Holidays – 2013
On Christmas eve, it started to snow, but it stopped after about 1/2 hour and it melted as soon as it made contact with the ground. Even like that, I was happy because I had Cynthia and Alex at home with me. On Christmas day, Chrissy, Alex’s cousin, arrived with family and spent a couple…
Alex On Sabbatical Leave
I’ve had Alex since she was about 3 months old, and I still can’t believe that she is on her way to be 12 years old next year. Thanks to Alex I have been able to help other dogs be more balanced and manageable, and as a result their pet parents were able to enjoy…
Alex’s ACL Injury – Update 1
Three weeks ago, we received the brace featured in the above picture for Alex and Cynthia took this picture minutes after we put it on her. We got this brace for Alex because we wanted to use the least invasive method to treat her injury and so far this is what we do and have…
Snowing in Odenton, Maryland
This is how my neighborhood looked a couple of days ago. This is how it looked this morning when I took Dexter for a walk. It was still snowing. When we got back home I dried him, turn the heater on, and got him to go to his bed. We walked for about 1/2 hour…
In Home Dog Boarding vs. Dog Kennels
Soon, it’ll be two weeks since Alex started wearing a brace for her ACL injury and so far she is doing fine. She is putting pressure on both legs, although still favoring her right leg, and she is resting a lot. This is her favorite spot when the sun is out, by the sliding doors….
Thanksgiving 2013
For some odd reason I keep typing 2014 rather than 2013. Boy, talk about being ahead of time. Anyway, I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving along with your furry children and family. One thing we always do during Thanksgiving is take a lot of pictures. One year we failed to do so…
Alex’s ACL Injury
I thought that Alex sprained her leg like she has done a few times in the past, but after taking her to the vet for a consult, x-rays, blood work, etc., she was diagnosed with having an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament, ACL, also known as cranial cruciate ligament. According to what the vet…
Exercising Alex, My Senior Dog
The above body language from Alex signals to me that she is ready to go around me making a circle while on a retractable leash a couple of times. Oh boy, every time she does that I am dizzy, but I know she loves it. Alex is 11 1/2 years old, and even at that…
Alex Sunbathing
Alex loves to sunbathe regardless of what time of the year it is. You look at her and she seems to be in heaven. Dogs with short hair like Alex tend to get cold very easy and maybe because of that they crave the sun. I was reading not too long ago about senior dogs,…
