At the start of the year, I have a list of the things I’d like to accomplish for my furry kids and myself, and for 2023 the list looks like this: Anyway, I think that that is a pretty good list for 2023. Every month I take a look at it as a reminder of…

Happy New Year 2023!
Well, we decided to start 2023 by eating and relaxing just like our canine companions on the above picture. Dogs are amazing teachers, if you take the time to really watch how they live their lives, and so we decided to copy their behavior and relax. Happy New Year to you, your furry kids, and…
Looking Forward To 2023
How was your Christmas? I hope you had a wonderful time. I felt exactly like the above picture, tired and content after eating a delicious meal, but grateful for all the blessings in my life. Now, who is impatiently waiting for the new year? I just hope I make it to 12AM so I can…
Are You Ready For Xmas?
I haven’t met anybody that has said that they are ready for Xmas. Have you? I’d venture to say that most of us are concern about food, traveling, our dogs, presents, etc., but that’s fine. Just remember that although holidays tend to be a bit stressful, if you take sometime for yourself, you just might…
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…
Multi-Dog Household And Energy
I’ve recently seen that shelters are struggling with the large intake of dogs that it is believed stems from the desire of people to adopt dogs during the pandemic, and this is yours truly trying to influence you to go out and adopt, but-and this is super important-make sure that your energy, that of your…
Stop Talking To Your Dog!
Years ago, when I took my very first dog training class with an excellent dog trainer, Janet Bennet, there was a lady with a small dog and during class she had conversations with her dog rather than plainly telling him, “Sit.” To say that I smiled about this exchange between the two of them would…
