Snow Storm in Massachusetts – 2/5/16

To say that it snowed in Massachusetts last Friday would be an understatement.  Well, we had to make the best out of all that snow, so on Saturday morning we ventured out with Abby to let her do her business, play and take some pictures. Abby was a little hesitant about going out and getting…

Raising Abby To Be A Balanced Dog

To say that I do my best to take Abby every place I can would be an understatement.  Here are some of the things I do with her: Since I hate with a passion going to the supermarket, while Cynthia goes shopping for groceries, Abby and I go to explore the neighborhood. Abby accompanies me…

It’s Raining Dogs

When we lived in Maryland, I thought to myself, “Wow!  There are a lot of dogs.”  Dogs always put a smile on my face, and when I realized that there seem to be even more dogs in Massachusetts,as you can imagine, I was ecstatic. So, where did we go to see so many dogs, you…

Short-Haired Dogs And Coats/Sweaters

The above picture is of Dexter, a very handsome boxer mix, that used to stay with us often.  Since Spring is taking its time to arrive, make sure that your canine companion is properly attired when you go out with him.  Dogs that have short hair like Dexter need to wear a coat or sweater…

Have A Great Life Handsome Dexter

We met Dexter, a very handsome Boxer mix, about 2 years ago during a pack walk in Annapolis, MD and the impression I got of him was that he was a quiet and gentle boy and you know what?  I was right.  Dexter stayed with us for almost 3 weeks this time, and I was…

Bella, An Energetic Pit Mix

Alex, my 12 year-old pit mix, only started to settle down when she was about 10 years old.  Yes, you read that right, 10 years.  During those 10 years, I had to take Alex for long walks and get her to run a couple of times a week in order to keep my sanity.  The…

Happy Hump Day

I had no idea what Alex and Dexter were smelling, but Bella was certainly not using her cute little nose. On Bella’s defense, she supposedly is part bull dog and they have a hard time using their nose. I wanted to lighten up the mood a little bit since my last post, See You Bailey,…

See You Bailey

A couple of years ago, we met Bailey, a beautiful 3 year old basset/beagle mix, through an ad on Craigslist, so we got to see her every time her pet parents went out of town. As time went by, our home became a second home for Bailey, and although I was the one that walked…

Dexter’s Energy Level

When we first met Dexter, a handsome boxer mix, I thought that he was a high energy dog, but I was wrong.  Dexter is actually a medium-level energy dog.  Why am I talking about this?  Because your level of energy and that of your future or current dog is very important in order to make…
