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…

Alex Found a Sea Monster in Boston, MA
Every time we go somewhere new, Cynthia along with Alex love to explore the area, as you can clearly see in the above picture. It always amuses me to see Alex explore her surroundings with such interest. I guess Alex found a sea monster. I guess if Alex found a sea monster, she will be…
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,…
Dexter’s Energy Level
When we first met Dexter, a handsome boxer mix, I thought that he was a high energy dog, but I was wrong. Dexter is actually a medium-level energy dog. Why am I talking about this? Because your level of energy and that of your future or current dog is very important in order to make…
Desensitization And Dogs
As per Wikipedia, desensitization in psychology is defined as the diminished emotional responsiveness to a negative or aversive stimulus after repeated exposure to it. We got Alex when she was about 3 months old, and from the beginning she got exposed to different people, environment, dogs, etc., and that is why I am able to…
Too Hot To Walk?
The weather is starting to get hot so that means that I have to be up by 6am in order to walk my furry kids. Why? Well, some dogs, like Walter, the handsome Aussie, can easily overheat and burn his pads/paws, and even dogs like Bella and Alex with short white hair can get hurt….
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…
