Abby looked so serious sitting by our table, that I couldn’t resist taking her picture. Yes, Abby had a nice helping of our food and she inhaled it. Because most of Abby’s diet is made up of human food, there was not danger of her getting an upset stomach. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you,…

No Afternoon Walks During Summer Time
Walking a dog in the afternoon when it’s hot and humid is certainly dangerous and I don’t recommend it, that is why when Summer comes to MA, I only walk dogs in the morning or evening. We all need our exercise, but you shouldn’t put yourself and your dog in harm’s way to do so….
Walking And Behavior Modification
One of the things I teach pet parents and I find very important during Behavior and Training Level I, is to not allow their dogs to bolt out the door, any door for that matter. Why? They could get injured, killed, lost, cause an accident, and/or harm another dog/animal or human. Even though Abby knows…
Dogs Prone To Heat Exhaustion
During Summer, we, pet parents, need to be very careful when taking our dogs for a walk specially if they are Pugs, Boxers, Bulldogs, Akita, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Why, you probably ask yourself? Because they have short noses and flat faces. They are very cute, but they need more care and attention than…
Safe Dog Walking Temperatures During Summer Time
Summer time here in Massachusetts is great because there is low humidity, and we don’t get many hot days like in Maryland. But just so you know, I still miss Maryland. Anyway, Abby and I get up early in the morning for our first walk, around 6am, in order to make sure that my girl…
Happy Belated Birthday Abby!
My inpatient birthday girl could hardly wait for her breakfast. That look speaks volumes! Abby ate her delicious breakfast – finally! – which consisted of a stir fry and some kibble. She inhaled it. Yes, Abby was more than ready to go and get some cookies for her birthday. I like for her to travel…
Spring And 4th Nor’easter – Stoughton, MA
Today, Tuesday, is the first day of Spring, but you wouldn’t know it since we still have snow on the ground, and tomorrow we’re expecting our 4th nor’easter. What will Abby be doing? Playing in the snow, of course! While Abby will be having a blast playing in the snow tomorrow, other dogs prefer to…
Massachusetts And Our Furry Kids Bracing For Another Nor’easter
Since we have a storm coming to MA today, we got our morning walk done, and of course Jack seemed to be in a hurry to do so. Yes, Jack and Louis certainly do not seem worried at all. If only we could be more like our canine companions, right? If you need to be…
To Walk Or Not To Walk – Abby’s Dilemma
That was Abby looking out the window the day we had a northeastern coming our way. I did keep her busy, but I am pretty sure she would have preferred to go for a walk. Abby and I love to walk, but please be extra careful when you are out walking because drivers may not…
Abby And Her First Northeastern
Abby, “Mom, did you hear that?” Since the weather was terrible, to say the least, Abby volunteered to help me put our laundry away. Oh, she was also on guard duty, as you can see. To be quite honest, I don’t know how much help Abby really was, but I know that she always tries…
