See You Later Chrissy

The adorable little dog right next to our cutie Alex is her cousin, Chrissy.  My cousin, Jessenia, and her husband were the proud parents of this beautiful girl and we were able to spend the past holidays with them.  What we did not know was that she had an advanced type of lymphoma.  She had…

Why Brushing Your Dog’s Teeth Is Extremely Important

By the third night, our foster girl, Bella was at home with us, I started to brush her teeth.  At the beginning, all I did was put a bit of doggie toothpaste on a toothbrush so she could get used to it.  As days went by, I was able to start brushing her teeth followed…

Happy Holidays – 2013

On Christmas eve, it started to snow, but it stopped after about 1/2 hour and it melted as soon as it made contact with the ground.  Even like that, I was happy because I had Cynthia and Alex at home with me. On Christmas day, Chrissy, Alex’s cousin, arrived with family and spent a couple…

Alex’s Furry Friends: Milo and Bella

We had a couple of days off and I was determined to take Alex for an outing to Annapolis, but it just did not happen.  I’d have to say totally la mia culpa.  I promised to make it up to her the next time she is the only kid at home:) These 2 beautiful canine…

Looking Out The Window

Alex and Dexter, from left to right, are watching what our neighbors are doing so they can later on share some gossip with us.  I don’t know who’s turn is it to take notes so nothing goes unreported, but I am sure they’ll do a great job. Because this is a small window, Roxy had…

Bye Kingston, Good Looking Pit Bull

Unbelievable, but four months have gone by, and Kingston’s mom came this week to pick him up and take him back home.  He was so happy to see his mom that his whole body was in motion, wiggling and trying to jump, it was beautiful to watch this display of affection from him to his…
