There’s research that shows that dogs do sense our moods and behavior, even smell our emotional state. I’ve learned this from personal experience from our dogs: Casey, Alex, Bella and Abby. Casey, a Staffie, would sit perfectly still next to me when I got angry. Funny, one time I told Cynthia that I wasn’t angry,…

Memorial Day 2019
Today we honor those who died in military service, but I also want to remember those dogs that so bravely served our country, and the families that made the ultimate sacrifice and that still remember those long gone, but never forgotten. Thank you.
Our Night Time Oral Care Routine
Brushing your dog’s teeth is very important for your overall canine companion’s health. Because of that I do my best – I do forget once in a while – to brush her teeth every night. Yes, each doggie has her own toothbrush and toothpaste. I always make sure that I place them in a spot…
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…
Snowing in Odenton, Maryland
This is how my neighborhood looked a couple of days ago. This is how it looked this morning when I took Dexter for a walk. It was still snowing. When we got back home I dried him, turn the heater on, and got him to go to his bed. We walked for about 1/2 hour…
Keep Your Senior Dog Active
During our last visit to Alex’s vet, one thing that resonated with me was the vet’s advice to keep my senior canine companion active. I told the vet that since she put Alex on supplements for joints, Alex does not limp at all and walks without a problem. There are times when she has so…
Joint Problems And Walter
The last time Walter stayed with us, May of this year, Cynthia mentioned to me that Walter went up the stairs using his hind legs in unison and I agreed with her since I had seen it myself, therefore I did a bit of research and I found out that some dogs do that when they…
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…
All Things In Moderation
I am a firm believer that we can all do things in moderation rather than abstaining from them, and as such we find balance in life. Let me start by giving you an idea about our morning routine, and it goes something like this: Morning walk/run Morning ablution: brush hair and wipe and inspect paws Breakfast…
Hanging Out With My Girl, Alex
I took this picture last November while walking with Alex on a trail on a beautiful Fall day. Even though my neighborhood has a lot of areas where we can walk, I like to take Alex to different places outside of our neighborhood so she can experience new smells, people, dogs, etc. Lately, we’ve been pretty…
