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…

Dog ACL Injuries – Know Your Options
Lately, perhaps because the weather is warm, I’ve encountered a lot of people during our walks asking me about Alex’s brace, and I am more than happy to stop for a couple of minutes and chat with them. Do you know what I found surprising? Every single pet parent that asked me about Alex’s brace…
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.

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…

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…
Alex On Sabbatical Leave
I’ve had Alex since she was about 3 months old, and I still can’t believe that she is on her way to be 12 years old next year. Thanks to Alex I have been able to help other dogs be more balanced and manageable, and as a result their pet parents were able to enjoy…

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…
