Recently, two friends were out walking their dogs when their littlest dog (who looks like a long haired mini-dachshund mixed with something smaller, and weighs less than 10lbs) was attacked by a strange dog. They were walking by a house when the pit bull type dog came through a hole …
We have a problem. It’s not a huge problem. In fact, I am not certain the dogs think it is a problem. It’s just that I have a problem. You see, it turns out that Larry does not actually prefer sleeping on the bed with us. What he wants is …
Raise your hand if you hate Cesar Millan. I’ll bet that a number of my readers have raised their hands at least partially. Most of us in the pet blogging world are not a fan of his methods and love to point out that the supposed science behind his techniques …
On some level, I am amused that I am writing this post. Normally, when people write their screeds against extendable leashes, I’m the one defending them. We have extendable leashes and love them. We find them incredibly useful. We also only use them in very specific situations. The most notable …
We are very bad a grooming. It’s why we currently only have dogs with very short hair that don’t need to be brushed a lot. Back when we had Moree, we used to have problems with him getting mats behind his ears and on his bum. The biggest problem was, …

We take Howie in for his post op check on Thursday morning, but even before that, we have good news. He is obviously feeling better. He’s started asking to be petted again. We can take the Wonder Walker off at home and attach the leash to his collar without getting …
On Monday evening I got a call from my brother. He was frustrated, needed to vent, get a little advice and some confirmation that he hadn’t done anything too wrong. I gave him what advice I could, but the doggy dilemma he is dealing with is one which I (thankfully) …
My guess is that Howie, if he became an only dog, would have terrible separation anxiety. The only thing he ever seems concerned about is being left behind. On Saturday, Larry and June needed a dog park trip. C wasn’t feeling very well, though, and I can’t quite manage all …
I’ve written previously about times when I didn’t say anything to other dog owners, even when I had a good opportunity to, and my reasons for making those decisions. This last weekend, I had the opposite experience- I said something, to a total stranger, interrupted his conversation to do so, …
