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…
Walking Your Dog Properly
Every time I go for a walk with Alex, I see pet parents walking their dogs, while others have their dogs walk them. The former is the goal and is what you should strive for in order to enjoy walking your dog. The above picture shows how a kid is walking his dog properly. The…
Roxy, Treats, And Her Bed
Roxy comes very often to stay with us and for some reason she used to shake uncontrollably when it was time to go to bed. She loves treats so I decided to use that and see how she responded. We started by doing the following: Lured her to bed by showing her a treat Once…
July 4th Weekend With My Furry Companions
I took this picture while Dieter and Alex were asleep, but the flash woke up Dieter. Alex is so used to it that she can sleep right through it. This 4th of July was uneventful and enjoyable.

This weekend, I’ll be in good company with Josie, Alex, Sarris and Dozer. Relaxing in the morning. Josie was the first one to arrive early in the morning. I was glad when her mom said that she took my advice and took Josie to the vet. The growth I pointed out on Josie’s last visit, according to…
Alex, Still On Bedrest
It’s been a month since Alex, as per her vet’s instructions, has been on bedrest. I thought that she was going to drive me nuts because she is a very active dog even now that she is almost 11 years old. To my surprise, and delight, she has taken this time off from walking quite…
Please, Put Your Dog On A Leash – Part II
I did not think I was going to write about this again, but I was proven wrong today. So, here it goes. I went out walking with Luca and we must have walked barely 5 minutes when another dog came at us full speed, yes you guessed right, without a leash. Luca barked at the…
