The other day, I went out for a walk as usual and my girl, Alex, was dragging her feet. Being the patient person that I am I told her, “You’ve got to be kidding me. How can you be tired? We just started our walk”. She looked at me with those dark brown eyes and…

Be Careful And Gentle When You Are Hugging A Dog
A lot of us, pet parents, as the picture clearly shows, love to hug our dogs, but please make sure that you are doing this properly or your dog, yes your own dog, can bite you. A hug to us, humans, just means a physical expression of our feelings and we enjoy doing it, but…
Please, Put Your Dog On A Leash – Part II
I did not think I was going to write about this again, but I was proven wrong today. So, here it goes. I went out walking with Luca and we must have walked barely 5 minutes when another dog came at us full speed, yes you guessed right, without a leash. Luca barked at the…
Make Walking Your Dog During The Summer A Pleasant Experience For Both Of You
Just because Summer is here and the weather lately has been really hot, to put it mildly, it does not mean that you should not walk your dog. Walk your dog, but adjust or change the length of your walk, time, and make sure to bring water for you, the pet parent, and your dog. …

My Canine Entourage: Alex, Kingston, and Roxy.
I always thought that an entourage, as defined by Webster’s New World College Dictionary as a group of accompanying attendants or associates, was only for movie stars, athletes, singers, etc., but I was recently proven wrong by my canine companions. Roxy, a beautiful Pomeranian, stayed with us this weekend and out of all the dogs…
Should I Walk My Dog Every Day?
Yes, you should walk your dog every day. I know, I know, many times we are not in the mood, we don’t have enough time, or we are too tired. These are all good excuses, but you and your dog can greatly benefit from a walk. For your canine companion and you the benefits of…
Alex, My Pit Bull Mix Girl, Is Afraid Of Her Own Farts
My canine daughter, Alex, has a little ritual that she follows most nights, and that is to sit down right next to me while I do dishes. The reason she does this is because, and this is just my theory and wishful thinking, she wants to remind me that I need to brush her teeth…
My Dogs Are Teaching Me About Forgiveness and New Beginnings
Many times when asked who do you admire the most and who can you learn from, many answer, Mother Teresa, Churchill, Charlize Theron, etc., but for me the best teachers I’ve ever had, after my aunt, mi mami Elvirita, who raised me, happen to be the dogs that enter my life. When I was a child…
