Yes, Spring arrived in Maryland last month, but we’re still wearing sweaters and light jackets on certain days. By the way, we are starting to see some wonderful changes on Charlie which I’ll talk about on another post. Well, enjoy your weekend. Weather permitting, we’ll probably BBQ, take some walks, naps, and just enjoy the…

How to Move With Dogs Without Stressing Them Out
In January we moved from MA to Maryland, and to say that Abby was excited about our move would be an understatement. She loved “inspecting” the boxes we were putting together to pack our things; she dashed between Cynthia and yours truly as if to “help” us pack; she watched Cynthia like a hawk while…
Dog Walking And Really Cold Weather
I love to walk, that is no surprise to those who know me, but when the weather gets really cold I keep in mind, and you should too, the following: Puppies and senior dogs should take short walks If your dog is shivering, doesn’t want to leave the house, etc., this is a clue for…
Summer 2018 – Go Away!
We’ve lived in Stoughton, MA 2 1/2 years, and Summer time in MA is beautiful, but this year I really want the Summer to be over and done. Why? I am tired of 90 degrees days and high humidity. Last Summer we went to Provincetown, or P town, and we enjoyed ourselves, but this Summer…
My Journey Through Life With Alex
I recently read one of my favorite blogs, Marking Our Territory by Will and Eko, and although I’ve never met them, I felt a sense of fellowship with Will. Why? He wrote that Eko, Will’s dog, is his anchor. Alex, my pit bull mix girl, teaches me every day to appreciate the little things that…
Alex On Sabbatical Leave
I’ve had Alex since she was about 3 months old, and I still can’t believe that she is on her way to be 12 years old next year. Thanks to Alex I have been able to help other dogs be more balanced and manageable, and as a result their pet parents were able to enjoy…
In Home Dog Boarding vs. Dog Kennels
Soon, it’ll be two weeks since Alex started wearing a brace for her ACL injury and so far she is doing fine. She is putting pressure on both legs, although still favoring her right leg, and she is resting a lot. This is her favorite spot when the sun is out, by the sliding doors….
Exercising Alex, My Senior Dog
The above body language from Alex signals to me that she is ready to go around me making a circle while on a retractable leash a couple of times. Oh boy, every time she does that I am dizzy, but I know she loves it. Alex is 11 1/2 years old, and even at that…
What Is The Most Sensitive Part On Your Dog?
The first thing a pet parent should remember is that each dog is an individual, and as such his sensitive area(s) will vary from dog to dog. With that being said, I’ll be using my girl, Alex, and some of her furry friends, Gir and Roxy, to illustrate my point. Alex’s sensitive area is her…
Luca Passed His Canine Good Citizen Exam
I met Luca, a tall and handsome GSD mix, a little over a year ago, and he was a very challenging dog because he seemed to be afraid of so many things. His pet parents worked with him under the guidance of a trainer, and the “new” Luca is so different from the dog I…
