Abby looked so serious sitting by our table, that I couldn’t resist taking her picture. Yes, Abby had a nice helping of our food and she inhaled it. Because most of Abby’s diet is made up of human food, there was not danger of her getting an upset stomach. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you,…

Siesta Time And Dogs
Regardless of the size or breed of dog I’ve taken care of, one thing I’ve realized they all love to do is nap. We, humans, sometimes feel guilty of taking a nap, yours truly is one of those, but as time goes by I am starting to feel less and less guilty. Some dogs like…
Abby And Her First Northeastern
Abby, “Mom, did you hear that?” Since the weather was terrible, to say the least, Abby volunteered to help me put our laundry away. Oh, she was also on guard duty, as you can see. To be quite honest, I don’t know how much help Abby really was, but I know that she always tries…
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…
Letting Go Of My Alex
There is a special place for dogs called Rainbow Bridge and that’s where my Alex went on Wednesday, August 12 of this year. Alex turned 13 years old this year and we celebrated her birthday a bit late and I remember thinking, “I hope we have more years together.” But that was not meant to…

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…
Dinner – Chicken, Rice, and Mashed Potatoes
After reading about what goes in the making of kibble, I decided that it’d be best to feed Alex a combination of human food and kibble with the former making up most of her diet. In Ecuador, where I am originally from, when I was a kid our pets were fed scraps and I don’t…
Belated Happy New Year 2015
This was the first year we were not home. Instead we went to Boston to visit family and did a little sightseeing while there. As you can see, Alex could care less about the ducks around her. It was funny to see Alex totally uninterested in all the real ducks around her, but once she…
Bundle Up Your Canine Companions
Many times, we assume that our furry kids can deal with a cold climate like the one we get here in Maryland, but that is not true. Our furry kids, just like us, do get cold and we must make sure that they are properly attire to withstand cold weather. Alex, in the above picture,…
