Charlie is improving on some things, and on others, we still got a bit to go: -Walking around where we live is getting better. I haven’t seen him do a Superman, airborne, recently. But, yes there is a but, when he is walking outside of our property Charlie is still a bit hesitant. We are…

Charlie’s Behavior Rehabilitation And Training – Part II
Charlie has been with us for a little over 2 weeks and slowly, emphasis on slowly, he is gaining weight, and he is starting to learn manners. Yeah! But, I want to tell you that behavior modification takes time, patience, and lots of persistence. One thing I tell my clients that they need to master…
Finding Happiness In Simplicity
Lately watching the news is scary and depressing-to say the least-but then I take a look at Abby finding happiness in simple things such as: walking, taking a ride in the car, eating, etc., and all I feel is a great sense of gratitude. Dogs are great teachers, and for me they are an integral…
Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining
To say that the coronavirus pandemic has affected our lives would be an understatement, but I choose to be optimistic and find a silver lining in every cloud. With that being said, living in semi-isolation has afforded me the time to take Abby for more walks; catch up on some of my reading; write a…
Getting Settled in Maryland With My Pack
Yes, that’s how tired Abby looked after helping us unpack. By the way, she is lucky since we are not unpacking everything. Remember to provide your canine companion a bed and some blankets. Sorry Abby, but I had to capture that facial expression. We are taking nice walks except when the days don’t permit us…

Abby’s Trip To Canada – Part 2 of 2 (Quebec)
Yes, we were totally lost when we visited Quebec, but it didn’t matter to us. How come? We had a good time exploring this beautiful city, and eating along the way. We were all ready to go back to Massachusetts after visiting Canada, but I think Abby a bit more because she watched us carefully…
Abby’s Trip To Canada – Part 1 of 2 (Montreal)
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog, but lots of things happened the last few months that kept me busy: my mom fell down and had to have surgery; Cynthia’s mom passed away; my mom stayed with us for a while; a few doggies stayed vacationing with us; and Abby, of course,…
Abby, A Cute Working Dog
Abby is a working dog, and if you ask her she’ll probably tell you that she needs a raise in the form of more cookies and human food. One of Abby’s task is to carry her own gear. Yes, people, there were a few cookies in that backpack. Abby also helps me walk dogs. The…
A Little R & R For Your Dog
I know, I know. I am always a big advocate on walking your dog, but you also need to give her enough time to relax and recuperate. Add to that a nice comfortable bed and a blanket, and your dog will be in doggie heaven. Enjoy your weekend!
