When I was a kid, my mom used to say over and over again, “By the sweat of your brow you will eat,” and I had absolutely no clue what she was talking about. In my defense, I was 6 years old at that time. Anyway, now I understand what she meant and this is…

Out And About in Seaport District, Boston, MA
One of the things I recommend pet parents to do with their canine companions is go out and explore different areas in order to acclimate their dog/puppy to a variety of environments. I trained Harlow a couple of weeks ago, Level II Basic Training and Behavior, so every time she stays with us she brushes…
Socializing Your Dog With Other Dogs
As a child growing up in Ecuador with a menagerie of animals, dogs were our constant companions. I grew up in a small village by the sea and for us to see a dog being walked on a leash was something very weird. Socializing dogs? We didn’t know what that meant. Once I got my…
Alex’s ACL Injury – 15 Months Later
In November 2013, Alex injured her ACL and I was beyond scared. So scared that I was ready to put her through surgery, but my better half, Cynthia, talked me out of it, and even today I am glad we made the right decision for Alex. Please, bear in mind that neither Cynthia nor I…
Bundle Up Your Canine Companions
Many times, we assume that our furry kids can deal with a cold climate like the one we get here in Maryland, but that is not true. Our furry kids, just like us, do get cold and we must make sure that they are properly attire to withstand cold weather. Alex, in the above picture,…
Staying In Maryland
The above cutie pie is staying with us this weekend. She is very laid-back and although she is an only furry child, she does great with my dogs. I’ve realized that just because some dogs have no other “siblings” it does not mean that they will be anti-social with other dogs. After weighing all our…
Packing With The Help Of My Canine Companions
This is Alex contibution to our move: sleep like a baby. Since I know that dogs love routine, I am doing my best to keep things as usual specially when it comes to walks. Bella also enjoys her bed, but many times she hangs out by the sliding doors in our eat-in kitchen. Bella’s contribution:…
The Aftermath of Introducing a New Dog to Our Pack
We got Walter, Alex, and Dexter, (from left to right), to pose while I held a treat and Cynthia took this picture Walter and Dexter are getting along great. The nice long walk I use to introduce a new dog to our pack is worth it, and I’d recommend it to any pet parent adding…
Walter – My Aussie Walking Partner
Well, since my girl, Alex, will be on bed rest for 2 months or longer, my walking partner for the next couple of days is Walter. As you can see, he was more interested looking at who knows what than posing for the camera. I called his name, and when he turned my way I…
Happy Txsgiving From All My Canine Companions To Everybody
This is how our turkey looked at noon on Thanksgiving day. Boy, I was glad we had a nice hearty breakfast. The two sous chefs, Josie and Sienna, decided to take a nap after helping Cynthia put the turkey in the oven. I was trying to explain to them that cooking a turkey takes a couple…
