I woke up yesterday morning to an old familiar itch. I think my humans heard me because when Chris got up, he saw me scratchin’.
That’s right, the fleas are starting to come back.
Last time the fleas came, the humans were successful in getting rid of them after dipping us, spraying the house, and then the [...]
Alex Judge, a business development associate from uship.com was kind enough to write this article for us about transporting your dog. Fortunately, I was born two hours north of where my human’s live, so I have only traveled in a car.

The battle rages on
We have been very fortunate. For years, we have lived in Florida and never had a problem with fleas. We took our Advantage and we never had to worry about the fleas biting us.
About a month ago, we started fostering two 8 week old puppies. They came from a kill shelter in [...]
Dog Ear Infection and the Dreaded Cone
A few weeks ago, Abigail underwent surgery for an ear hematoma. As a result, she wore a collar for the last few weeks to keep her from scratching her ears and causing infection. Yesterday, she finally got the collar off around 3 o’clock. We were so happy for her [...]
Pitbull Puppies for Sale
On the way home today, I saw a man standing in the back of an old, brown, 4X4 truck. He has holding a plywood sign with the words “Pitbull Puppies For Sale” spray painted on it. The mother of the puppies was chained to the side of the truck. She was cowering [...]
Dog waste disposal in the future
The year is 2020. Every evening, Chris takes me for a walk around the neighborhood and then down by the lake. At the end of our walk, he takes the bag and puts it in the dog waste disposal unit. A lot has changed in the past 10 years. Where [...]
I can tell Shadow is up to something. He keeps walking through the kitchen with his nose in the air. I’m sure he’s seen that big bird in the oven and I know he smells it. Every year, we get a few pieces of the turkey. I hope it happens soon, it’s “better than snuff”.*

I was as happy as a tick on a fat dog to find out that Shadow came out of his surgery okay. In case ya’ll didn’t hear, he got neutered today and, as expected, he survived.
I reckon that’s one way to lose a little weight (although with him, it won’t be much ; ).
Ya’ll be [...]
I’m willing to bet Shadow doesn’t even know that he has a surgery coming up. That right, he’s gonna get the ole “snip snip”.
“Snip… snip??” They’re going to do what to my… Dog, that ain’t right! What about all of the puppies I was going to sire? What about all of those great times [...]
Hi ya’ll, my name is Abigail, and I’m a Golden Retriever. Even though I’ve seen my share of sunsets, I still like to think of myself as beautiful. For the past year, I have allowed Shadow the Chocolate Lab into my home. I did so with the dignity that befits a southern belle, and showed [...]
Hi, Shadow again. Why do dogs bark, because they want to of course! Thomas wrote this article a few months ago and Chris removed it from the site. I really have to keep his paws off the keyboard. I think this is the last of the old articles to repost.

I started digging through the archives (I love the feel of soft dirt in my claws) and found this old article written by Chris. I remember this night well. That Husky is SO lucky he didn’t mess with me! Anyways, it appears that this one, and a few others, were removed a while back by [...]
While my human, Chris, is away working on projects, we’re going to take over this blog and write some articles about important stuff that dogs really care about. But for starters, let’s get one thing straight. I’m the alpha dog in this pack and what I say goes. I have huge plans for this blog [...]
Fred loved to meet new people. Every day he would go to the door and loved to get petted by the nice visitors. This day however, was a little different.
It was almost dark when the door bell rang. Fred ran to the door wagging his tail and waiting impatiently for someone to open it. However, [...]
Is aspirin safe for dogs?
Champ, an 11 year old pup, lay in the corner of the living room. John had noticed he was whining earlier while trying to get up and now he seemed restless. After watching Champ for a few minutes, John went over, petted his old friend, and asked, “What’s wrong boy?”.
The day [...]
