I still cannot believe that we are at the end of March and yesterday, Wednesday, was so windy and cold, but to my surprise when we went to the deck it was pretty nice so I went ahead and cleaned all “my” furry kids and asked Cynthia to take some pictures. I like my home…

Basic Training Part I
Years ago, I took Casey, our first dog, and Alex, our current dog for basic training, and I truly enjoyed the classes and the time I spent with my dogs doing our “homework.” I think that living with a dog should be an enjoyable, enriching, learning experience, but we, humans, must do our part. How? …
See You Later Chrissy
The adorable little dog right next to our cutie Alex is her cousin, Chrissy. My cousin, Jessenia, and her husband were the proud parents of this beautiful girl and we were able to spend the past holidays with them. What we did not know was that she had an advanced type of lymphoma. She had…
Brushing Your Dog’s Teeth
We took Bella to the vet yesterday, Wednesday, and I could not believe what the vet told us. Bella had a small thin stick running from one side of her mouth to the other one that measured about 3 to 4 inches long. The only part we were able to see were the black holes…
Why Brushing Your Dog’s Teeth Is Extremely Important
By the third night, our foster girl, Bella was at home with us, I started to brush her teeth. At the beginning, all I did was put a bit of doggie toothpaste on a toothbrush so she could get used to it. As days went by, I was able to start brushing her teeth followed…
Teaching Bella To Get Along With Other Dogs
17 days ago, Cynthia and I went to pick up Candie, now renamed Bella, from BARCS, and the progress she’s made so far is amazing. At the beginning, Bella wanted nothing to do with Alex and we did not force her either, but rather took them both for walks, and runs around the neighborhood. Bella’s…
Introducing Bella To Alex
Well, it was time to introduce Bella to Alex today and this is how I introduce new dogs to my pack. Cynthia, Alex, Bella, and I went for a walk together. At the beginning of the walk, Alex was on my left side while Bella was on Cynthia’s right side. We stopped for a couple…
Introducing Bella, Our First Foster Dog
The above beautiful specimen is Candie, our very first foster dog. We changed her name to Bella since she is truly beautiful and we thought this named suited her better. Let me start by saying that I’ve been reading other blogs of people who are fostering dogs and many of them have had set backs…
A New Year And New Beginnings – 2014
Every year, just like many other people, I make a list of my new year’s resolution to tackle, but this year, surprisingly even to me, I failed to do so. Instead, I decided to do things I’ve been meaning to do for a while and unlike past years, 2014, although today is only January 4th,…
Happy Holidays – 2013
On Christmas eve, it started to snow, but it stopped after about 1/2 hour and it melted as soon as it made contact with the ground. Even like that, I was happy because I had Cynthia and Alex at home with me. On Christmas day, Chrissy, Alex’s cousin, arrived with family and spent a couple…
