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…

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,…

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…

Hanging Out On My Deck With My Canine Companions

Cynthia, the designated photographer in our home, was able to capture this picture with our 3 canine companions.  Well, maybe it was me taking the picture.  I look at it this way: if pictures look amazing, Cynthia took them; if pictures look terrible, then I took them.  You be the judge of that since I…

Manners, Manners, Manners, Please!

Yes, by the title of my post you probably can sense that I am a little bothered.  No, let me rephrase that, I am angry.  Why?  I had a guy get quite bothered because I did not allow him to pet Bella.  I was walking with Bella in a brand new area for her, and…

Windy Wednesday

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? …

Alex’s ACL Injury – Update 1

Three weeks ago, we received the brace featured in the above picture for Alex and Cynthia took this picture minutes after we put it on her. We got this brace for Alex because we wanted to use the least invasive method to treat her injury and so far this is what we do and have…
