For those of us that have furry kids, preparing a meal – heck, even making a sandwich- feels like someone put up a sign that says, “Kitchen help wanted,” and our canine companions never fail to answer such ad. Look at the attention they are paying Cynthia. Cynthia moved to get something from the fridge,…

My Love Affair With All My Canine Companions
When I was a child living in Ecuador, dogs, as well as a menagerie of animals that belonged to my grandmother, were part of my every day life. What I didn’t know then was how important dogs would be in my life and how much they would teach me about love, patience, determination, and so…
Raising Abby To Be A Balanced Dog
To say that I do my best to take Abby every place I can would be an understatement. Here are some of the things I do with her: Since I hate with a passion going to the supermarket, while Cynthia goes shopping for groceries, Abby and I go to explore the neighborhood. Abby accompanies me…
Teaching Abby To Behave
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…
Abby, A Force Of Nature
As promised on my last post, I will show you what Abby does prior to giving me that perfect sit/stay and eye contact. Why? So you are aware of all her antics and refrain for saying to your furry kid, “You should be like Abby.” Abby, at the beginning, does comply and follows my hand….
By The Sweat of Your Brow You Will Eat
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…
Back From Maryland – Wrapping Things Up
Our recent trip took us back to Maryland for a couple of days, and while wrapping things up we decided to go and have some fun. We went to a beach near Annapolis, MD. It was beautiful and Cynthia was able to take a lot of pictures. For the last couple of months, we have…
Deck Restoration By All My Canine Companions – Part II
After we finished making our deck look decent, Alex decided to go and check it out. Yes, that is how she checked out our work and I’d venture to say that she was happy with the end product. Bella, on the other hand, decided to “inspect” very carefully our work before she paid us with…
