Happy Thanksgiving 2022

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Were you waiting for loved ones to get home like these two cuties in the picture? Or did you spend it quietly and peacefully with one or two people? However you decided to spend this past holiday, I wish you had a wonderful, uneventful, happy time. By the way, you thought I…

Missing The Warm Long Days of Summer

I know, it’s a bit early to be complaining about the cold weather since we’re still in the fall season, but that is not going to stop me from doing it anyway. I’ve realized that even Abby and Charlie tend to want to sleep longer once it starts getting cold. What changes or activities do…

Bundle Up! It’s Starting To Get Cold Here

Let me start by saying that most of the time I feel cold. I see people wearing shorts and t-shirts during fall season and I am in awe of them because I’m already cold during this time. Charlie, our GSD mix, was wearing a backpack, but no sweater, the same goes for Abby and Remy….

Adding A New Dog To Your Family/Pack

Bringing a new dog thru adoption or fostering is a wonderful idea, but you need to make sure that the new dog is compatible with you, pet parent, and your current dog. When we were planning to get Charlie, from the SPCA in Annapolis, we got Abby to meet him before making any decision to…

Fall Season 2022 And Dogs

See You Later Dexter

This is a post that is hard for me to write, but I need to get it off my chest. There are clients with whom I still keep in touch with, even after years have gone by. They end up being friends and every so often we contact each other, and so last week, I…

Abby And Charlie Swapping Beds

I have absolutely no idea why Abby and Charlie swap beds. Do you know why your dogs swap beds? If you do, please share that information with me because I am quite curious about this unexplained phenomenon. Years ago, I made it a point that each dog would go to his/her bed, but now I…

Dog Walking Tips During Summer

To say that I love to walk with my dogs would be an understatement, but when it’s hot I need to be aware and mindful of the following: Pick an appropriate time to walk – I do my best to walk them before 9am and after 7pm Dark or black color coats – dogs like…
