Abby, at the beginning, didn’t know or understand that once we were home she was not allowed to run like crazy, nip people, grab things off of the floor as toys, etc. Well, time went by, 9 weeks, and she is starting to understand that certain things are expected of her if she wants to…

Short-Haired Dogs And Coats/Sweaters
The above picture is of Dexter, a very handsome boxer mix, that used to stay with us often. Since Spring is taking its time to arrive, make sure that your canine companion is properly attired when you go out with him. Dogs that have short hair like Dexter need to wear a coat or sweater…
Freaking Winter Wonderland – 2/21/15
I don’t know how to start this post, so here it goes. I am going to make a list of the things I like and dislike about Winter so this way maybe someone out there will say, “Me too.” Misery does love company. Things I like about Winter: Shoveling snow, but only if I do…
The New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston
While in Boston, I had the opportunity to visit the New England Holocaust Memorial, and to say that I was touched by what I read would be an understatement. What resonated with me most was this: They came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came…
Boston Bound Family/Pack
Cynthia received a nice offer for a new job in Boston, MA so we’ll be moving within the next couple of weeks. Bella, our almost 4 year old pit mix, has never moved with us, therefore her reaction on the above picture is understandable, right? Alex, on the other hand, has moved with us several…
Kayaking With Dogs – What An Odyssey
Cynthia and I recently became kayaks enthusiasts, and of course, we had to bring our canine companions along with us in this fun ride. Well, it depends on what you consider fun. The first time we took them with us, it was chaotic and crazy, but we managed to keep our sanity throughout this ordeal. …
See You Bailey
A couple of years ago, we met Bailey, a beautiful 3 year old basset/beagle mix, through an ad on Craigslist, so we got to see her every time her pet parents went out of town. As time went by, our home became a second home for Bailey, and although I was the one that walked…
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…
I am Sooo Tired – TGIF
Because the weather is so nice today here in Odenton, MD, we took a nice walk and once I cleaned them up, each furry kid took a spot to hang out and/or fall asleep. Bella is the youngest one, 3 years old, therefore she was relaxing by the sliding doors and found herself in the…
Alex, My Almost 12-Year-Old Canine Companion
Alex is our second dog and she’ll be turning 12 on May 5th. We got her when she was a little over 3 months old. At that time, I never knew nor imaged how much she would change my life, but she did and I am glad and grateful for that. Here are just a…
