We got our Charlie, the handsome boy above, from the SPCA Of Anne Arundel County in Maryland in 2021. Btw, whether you adopt from a shelter or buy from a breeder, make sure that you start working with your dog right away. Charlie is wearing a leash and collar inside the house. Why? Because I…
German Shepherds, Mixes, And Pet Parents
Charlie is our first GSD mix. Most of our dogs have been pit bulls or pit bull mixes, and although I did do some research about this particular breed, there were things that did amaze me, so here it goes: Although we did have GSD puppies when I was growing up, they belonged to my…
Shelter Or Breeder?
I, personally, prefer to foster and/or adopt from a shelter. There are so many dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, temperament, etc., so you really have a lot to choose from, and also you will be giving a dog a new home with you and your family. Now, although I do prefer to go with…
My Contortionist Abby And Her Foochie Paws
Have you paid attention to your dog’s sleeping positions? I have, and based on my extensive research I will venture to say that dogs are contortionists. I mean, look at the above picture. Even when I was a kid I was not as flexible as Abby seems to be. Ok, now that we’ve established that…
Life + Dogs = Balance
Our canine companions do change our lives in so many ways. For some pet parents-like me- dogs bring joy, laughter, more exercise, and even more interaction with other pet parents. Then, there are those pet parents that are stressed out and tired because of their dogs’ antics, but that is easy to fix. Easy? Yes,…
New Year’s Resolutions For Your Dogs And Their Pet Parents
At the start of the year, I have a list of the things I’d like to accomplish for my furry kids and myself, and for 2023 the list looks like this: Anyway, I think that that is a pretty good list for 2023. Every month I take a look at it as a reminder of…
Happy New Year 2023!
Well, we decided to start 2023 by eating and relaxing just like our canine companions on the above picture. Dogs are amazing teachers, if you take the time to really watch how they live their lives, and so we decided to copy their behavior and relax. Happy New Year to you, your furry kids, and…
Looking Forward To 2023
How was your Christmas? I hope you had a wonderful time. I felt exactly like the above picture, tired and content after eating a delicious meal, but grateful for all the blessings in my life. Now, who is impatiently waiting for the new year? I just hope I make it to 12AM so I can…
Are You Ready For Xmas?
I haven’t met anybody that has said that they are ready for Xmas. Have you? I’d venture to say that most of us are concern about food, traveling, our dogs, presents, etc., but that’s fine. Just remember that although holidays tend to be a bit stressful, if you take sometime for yourself, you just might…
Happy Thanksgiving 2022
Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Were you waiting for loved ones to get home like these two cuties in the picture? Or did you spend it quietly and peacefully with one or two people?
