Holidays And Uncooperative Dogs

We hope that you had wonderful holidays with your dogs, family and friends. We had a peaceful, quiet time with our dogs at home and we had a good laugh at their expense after seeing pictures like the above. One thing is for sure, living with dogs is an adventure, and we have 3 dogs! After taking…

Dogs Are A Lifetime Commitment Not A Christmas Present

Christmas is right around the corner, and if you are thinking about giving a puppy as a present to a friend or family member, please don’t. Yes, you read it right. A dog is a lifetime commitment and there are a lot of things to consider such as: will its new family have the time,…

Is It Spring Or Summer?

I am a bit confused with the weather here in Maryland. The last couple of days have been chilly-no, cold is the better word-but a few weeks ago we had temperature that went up to 75 degrees. I was about to put all our winter clothes away, but the cold weather came back, so Abby…

Have A Great Monday! Really?

As you could see from the above picture, my canine kids certainly know how to start the week. Monday was never my favorite day, but now I am starting to learn to appreciate every day. Yes, even Monday. I had to post the above picture. Charlie seemed to be fascinated by that candle. A minute…

Belated Happy New Year 2022

Happy New Year! Sorry for the delay. Let’s give you a run down of what we did this past holiday. We ate a lot-as expected-both humans and canines; we slept and took naps; we did walk, and added playtime for Abby and Charlie in order to stay consistent and active; and-wait for it-we realized that…

Merry Belated Christmas 2021

How was your Christmas? I hope it was amazing and full of food, joy and family. We stayed home, slept a bit late, ate a lot, and relaxed. I can’t complain. Abby and Charlie-that’s another story-probably would have wanted more food, but other than that they seemed content hanging out with us. Stay safe and…

A New Bed For Abby And Charlie

We got a new bed for Abby and Charlie a few weeks ago-at this point you’re probably saying to yourself, “That’s so nice of you”-because we got tired of moving their two beds from the kitchen to the living room. By now you’ve realized that such action was self-serving. Anyway, Abby and Charlie are still…

Do Dogs Need Sweaters And Blankets In Winter?

Yes, dogs need sweaters and blankets once the weather starts turning cold specially if your dog has short hair, she is a puppy or senior, and also if she is recuperating from injury/illness. Abby and Charlie both wear a sweater and sometimes jacket when we go out, they both have short hair, and a sweater…

Abby Paying Her Bills In Person

Abby was pretty surprised when I told her that she needed to go in person and pay her water/sewage/garbage bill.  As you can see, she was so bothered by it that she was giving me the cold shoulder.  What a brat!  I wanted to be mad at her, but she looked so cute wearing that…

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…
