This is how our turkey looked at noon on Thanksgiving day. Boy, I was glad we had a nice hearty breakfast. The two sous chefs, Josie and Sienna, decided to take a nap after helping Cynthia put the turkey in the oven. I was trying to explain to them that cooking a turkey takes a couple…

Nap Time For All My Canine Guests
Most of the doggies that stay with us, love to sunbathe and the most sought out place in my house is by the sliding door that leads to the deck, as you can see by this picture. Darn it! I had the tv on and someone rang the bell. The sounds from a tv set…
Come On Kids, The Canine Kind, Let’s Barbecue
Yes, let’s barbecue in November. This time Cynthia had two, Alex and Sienna, sous chefs in tow, therefore, thank God, she did not need me. Boy, these kids have not patience at all. Wow! Finally. Why do they take so long to cook? Sienna has an innocent look that Alex is just not buying….
Walking Around Our Neighborhood
Today, Saturday, is a beautiful and sunny day so rather than taking a long walk in the evening like I usually do, I decided to walk in the early afternoon with Alex and Marka and enjoy the weather. This is right before I cleaned them a little bit: hair brushing and paw cleaning with wipes. …
Alex’s Favorite Pastime: Sleeping
Every dog has a favorite pastime, and I’ve realized that Alex’s favorite pastime for the last 2 years is sleeping. It does not matter to her whether this “pastime” of her is done on her bed or our couch for what it counts to her is that she is left alone to sleep. I don’t…
Alex And Halloween – Part II
This year I decided not to make Alex wear her pumpkin costume. I was debating about whether or not to do it, but for one, Alex does not like to wear a costume, and two, I promised another blogger that as a sign of solidarity I’ll let Halloween go by without making a big deal…
Alex, In The Arms Of Morpheus
Today, Sunday, was one of those days when Alex decided that she’d rather sleep than eat. Do I like it? No, I hate it, to put it mildly because I worry everytime she does not eat. But, then I reminded myself that there are days when she eats only 1 cup rather than her usual 3…
Alex and Halloween
I am not sure if this year I want Alex to dress up as a pumpkin as she’s done for the past couple of years. Why my hesitation? She does not seem to enjoy it. I’ll think about it. May be this year, I should let her be and get a movie so I can watch…
Collars For Dogs – Choose The Right One For Your Dog
I’ve learned from experience that one collar does not work for every dog. Bailey, a beautiful mix breed dog, at the beginning would walk me, ok., let me rephrase this, dragged me with her during our first walks. When we got back from our walks, my hands were red and hurting from her pulling me…
Fatty Tissue Tumors on Older Dogs – Part II
I cannot complain about this week, well maybe I could, but I am not going to because I got a call from Alex’s vet with great news: Her two little lumps are nothing more than fatty tissue tumors, which according to her vet are quite common in senior dogs. What a relief! She did tell…
