We’re content light heading into the holidays, and our dog park trips have been very quick, with no real time for pictures lately, so instead, you get one of my current favorite commercials http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsT_mPPqSwE Every time I see it, I think to myself- I want a weiner dog laser, and, …
I am sick. I spent the better part of Saturday and pretty much all of Monday lying in bed, watching TV or reading. I love that the dogs want to be with me and close to me during these times, I really, really do. But how do you explain to …
Back in March, I encouraged people to vote for Seattle in the GoPetFriendly.com March Madness tournament for the best dog city in the country. Seattle lost to Portland, OR in our bracket. I’m over it, I really am, but I’m here today to give you another reason why Seattle is …

The Fourth of July is not the most pet friendly holiday, even if you have dogs that aren’t generally afraid. While we have had our share of Fourth misadventures (one year Smokey and Moree escaped on the Fourth and were gone thirteen and sixteen hours respectively- we didn’t go to …
I’m about a week behind on writing about this terrible incident. An 11 year old girl got most of her upper lip ripped off in an unexpected attack by a friend’s family dog. I do not want, in any way, to take away from what this young girl is suffering …
None of our current dogs are big on escaping. They really have no desire to run away from us or explore the world on their own. (They love exploring the world, but like it best when we’re nearby.) And yet, twice this weekend, June “escaped”. Except that the first time, …
