The first thing a pet parent should remember is that each dog is an individual, and as such his sensitive area(s) will vary from dog to dog. With that being said, I’ll be using my girl, Alex, and some of her furry friends, Gir and Roxy, to illustrate my point. Alex’s sensitive area is her…

Luca Passed His Canine Good Citizen Exam
I met Luca, a tall and handsome GSD mix, a little over a year ago, and he was a very challenging dog because he seemed to be afraid of so many things. His pet parents worked with him under the guidance of a trainer, and the “new” Luca is so different from the dog I…
Walking Your Dog Properly
Every time I go for a walk with Alex, I see pet parents walking their dogs, while others have their dogs walk them. The former is the goal and is what you should strive for in order to enjoy walking your dog. The above picture shows how a kid is walking his dog properly. The…
Keep Your Senior Dog Active
During our last visit to Alex’s vet, one thing that resonated with me was the vet’s advice to keep my senior canine companion active. I told the vet that since she put Alex on supplements for joints, Alex does not limp at all and walks without a problem. There are times when she has so…
Alex’s Visit to The Vet And Dealing With Stress
Last week, I took Alex to the vet so she can get some vaccines and since I know my girl gets very stressed out every time we go I decided to approach this visit a little different than usual. This is how Alex and I approached this vet’s visit: I asked for the first appointment…
Roxy, Treats, And Her Bed
Roxy comes very often to stay with us and for some reason she used to shake uncontrollably when it was time to go to bed. She loves treats so I decided to use that and see how she responded. We started by doing the following: Lured her to bed by showing her a treat Once…
Sauteed Meatball And Red Pepper
To say that my girl, Alex, is picky would be an understatement, therefore because of that I have to come up with different “recipes” that are to her approval and standard. For this meal, I started by defrosting one or two meatballs. I don’t like to defrost it in a microwave because it makes the…
Cold Weather Is On Its Way
I used to love tropical weather for many years, on my defense I’d like to say that I grew up about 10 minutes from the beach so hot weather and fun went hand in hand, but now I prefer any season except for Summer. Could you believe that? This is what Alex wears when the…
Attack of The Kissing Dog – Alex
Years ago, I used to take Alex to a dog park in Annapolis, MD, but I realized very fast that it was a waste of time so I stopped doing it. Why? Because as soon as we got to the dog park she’d go to where all the pet parents were gathered rather than going…
Monday Morning – Alex And Dexter
Dexter, a handsome boxer mix, will be staying with us for a couple of days and we started with our usual morning walk, followed by grooming, brush and wipe, and a nice breakfast. After that, they were both ready to take a nap and sunbathe, but Cynthia wanted to take a picture of them before…
