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.

Abby’s Vet Visit: She Did Great!
Taking Abby to the vet is-I know a lot of pet parents will no believe me-wonderful. She is calm, friendly, curious, and cooperative. When she was younger, she was hyperactive so I had to take her for a long walk before her vet’s appointment, and although I no longer have to do that, I still…
Treating Dog Anxiety
Anxiety in dogs is something that pet parents have a hard time dealing with or recognizing for that matter. These are some of the signs a dog will exhibit when anxious: pacing, drooling, barking, destroying things, nipping, etc. I always recommend for pet parents to have a vet do a physical exam to rule out…
Have A Great Monday! Really?

Revisiting Dogs And Separation Anxiety
As you can see in the above picture, Abby and Charlie take their job seriously. Our routine is to drop off the garbage, sometimes we have to do 2 trips, and pick up our mail. Charlie’s separation anxiety is slowly starting to disappear. He no longer screams murder when left him in a room alone….
Dogs And Separation Anxiety

Relaxing At Home With My Pack
We are continuing with Charlie’s rehab and training, but during the weekend we change a bit our schedule. Yes, they do still take a walk. By the way, walking is great for us humans too. The weather here in Annapolis, MD today, Saturday, is gorgeous so we will take walks, naps, watch TV, eat, and…
Dogs And The Roles They Play In Our Lives
Abby is my personal trainer. How’s that you’d ask? I have to take her for walks, outings, and running so being active because of Abby is an understatement. Abby is my traveling companion. We went to Montreal and Quebec last year and she did wonderful. Abby makes me laugh. She looks a bit serious, but…
