Abby’s Trip To Canada – Part 1 of 2 (Montreal)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog, but lots of things happened the last few months that kept me busy: my mom fell down and had to have surgery; Cynthia’s mom passed away; my mom stayed with us for a while; a few doggies stayed vacationing with us; and Abby, of course,…

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.

Decorating A Christmas Tree With Doggies

This year – for the very first time – we decided to include Abby and Champagne in the decoration of our Christmas tree.  Abby, as you can see, took the job of decorator very serious and was micromanaging Cynthia’s every move. Champagne, the beautiful pit bull, was our security guard.  While on guard duty, she…

Thanksgiving 2017

And this is how we started our Thanksgiving day, with an uncooled turkey.  Cynthia started to cook right after breakfast. We, of course, explained to Abby that the turkey doesn’t magically turn up cooked, but as you can see in the above picture Abby wasn’t buying our story.  Let’s remember she just finished having breakfast….

Walking With Abby

If there’s one thing Abby and I – Ok sometimes some of Abby’s friends as well – do is walk.  The above picture was taken in Plymouth, MA.  I go through shoes really fast, as you can imagine, but I enjoy walking with dogs. Walking is a great exercise for you, pet parent, and your…

Abby Went to Harvard

Who said Harvard is only for humans?  We took Abby this past weekend to Harvard to walk, do some sightseeing, take pictures and, of course, continue working on her commands and behavior.  How did she do?  Not bad. The day was beautiful but because Abby is dark and part Bulldog, I had to stop for…

Summer Safety Tips For Walking Your Dog

When I lived in Maryland, I would wake up early, around 6am, to walk my dogs every single day.  Once I moved to Massachusetts, I was able to walk my dog a bit later, around 8am, but even like that I always have to remember the following: I need to walk Abby early in the…

Seminar in Plymouth, MA

Yesterday, I conducted a seminar in Plymouth, MA and we were able to do some sightseeing prior to it.  This was my first time in this area and it was beautiful to say the least. Before starting my seminar, I took Abby for a walk so she can socialize with people, and see new things. …

Blue Hills Ski Area in Canton, MA

On Sunday, we went to Blue Hills Ski Area located in Canton, MA to do a little hiking and sightseeing but also to see how Abby would behave or in her case misbehave. We did a lot of walking, but the day was quite conducive to being outdoors, a bit cloudy with a nice breeze…

Snow Storm in Massachusetts – 2/5/16

To say that it snowed in Massachusetts last Friday would be an understatement.  Well, we had to make the best out of all that snow, so on Saturday morning we ventured out with Abby to let her do her business, play and take some pictures. Abby was a little hesitant about going out and getting…
