Anxiety in dogs is something that pet parents have a hard time dealing with or recognizing for that matter. These are some of the signs a dog will exhibit when anxious: pacing, drooling, barking, destroying things, nipping, etc. I always recommend for pet parents to have a vet do a physical exam to rule out…

Spring Is Here!
Yes, Spring arrived in Maryland last month, but we’re still wearing sweaters and light jackets on certain days. By the way, we are starting to see some wonderful changes on Charlie which I’ll talk about on another post. Well, enjoy your weekend.

A Rainy Day In Annapolis, MD
Yes, it’s raining in Annapolis, MD and to be frank I truly don’t care for rainy days, but if you look at Abby and Charlie I’d say that they are taking advantage of this weather. Don’t you think so? On the plus side, we did get to have a nice morning walk today so I…
Back To Our Old Routine
Since Abby and Charlie were driving us up the wall-totally my fault of course-this is what their day looks like: Walking – extremely important therefore I listed it first.

Charlie’s Progress – Part VI
All dogs, just like us people, have quirks and issues, and our Charlie is not the exception. Early on, we figured out that Charlie disliked having his paws handled so we try to handle his paws, gently, every single day. Some pet parents would say to let it be, but if the time comes when…

Abby And Hot Weather Safety Tips
Hot weather seems to affect Abby more than Charlie: Abby is able to walk without any problem as long as we walk very early in the morning She seems to get tired faster during Summer than Winter Because Abby is a Beagle Bulldog mix, BeaBull, she makes a funny noise with her nose when she…
Limit Exercise For Your Dog On Hot Days
Although I love to walk, and I recommend it to all pet parents, when the weather is hot and humid-you will not believe what I am about to recommend-do not walk outdoors. There I said it! Yes, it goes against all that I believe in, but I want to make sure that you and your…
