Nothing quite strikes joy in a dog’s heart like being asked to go for a walk (well….maybe a ride in the car). It is one of the first things that we teach them how to do as puppies. It can be a difficult task with an excitable little puppy …and an even bigger task if …

Little People & Little Puppies
What are cuter… babies or puppies? How about babies WITH puppies. Cuteness overload right? People just melt over photos and videos that are posted on social media of puppies with babies playing or snuggling. Dogs have been companions to children forever. Think about it… Lassie & Timmy, Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Nana from Peter Pan …
When is the Right Time to Get a Dog?
When I moved out of my parents house into my own apartment, one of my first thoughts was “Yay! Now I can get my own dog!” Having a dog is such an exciting idea, especially if you live alone. You think of having companionship, long walks, snuggles, and posting cute pictures on social media. The …
Fair Weathered Friends
It is the time of year when seasons are changing and many are getting back to a more regular schedule after a long summer. Kids are going back to school, family vacations are over, and the weather is beginning to cool down (for most). It is Hurricane season for some places and my heart goes …
Is My Dog a Psychic?
I’ve admitted to you all before that I love watching cheesy action movies and TV shows. It just gets me away from the hum drum that everyday life can bring and allows me to escape for a while. Pretty much if it’s on the CW TV station I will watch it. You name it, The …

Maybe They’re Just Not That Into You
Meeting someone for the first time can be exciting, nerve wracking, and scary. You might have a great connection and really enjoy each other’s company. On the other hand you might meet someone that is nice, but just not someone you would choose to spend your time with. Ever been a blind date or setup? …
Wag More, Bark Less
Life is a series of events and our reaction to them. We can react positively or negatively, appropriately or inappropriately. As humans most of us try to be better than we were the day before. There are always going to be times when we regret how we reacted, because in the end none of us …
Teddy You’re a Firework
Yes the title is meant to be sung like Katy Perry’s song “Firework”. I pretty much put Teddy’s name into every song I’ve ever known, like most dog moms. With the Fourth of July holiday coming up I thought it was appropriate. Teddy and I may like the song “Firework”, but we are NOT fans …
