My family just got a new popcorn maker and Chris liked it so much, he even wrote a review about it, West Bend Stir Crazy Popper.
Here’s my question, when will the dogs get some? Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, while popcorn may not be bad for us, the kernels are not digestible. Please keep [...]
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’. Dogs and fleas simply don’t mix.
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, [...]
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.

Dogs and fleas simply don’t mix
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 [...]
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 [...]
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”.*
Foods [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
A Dog in Pain
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 before [...]
This is truly amazing to me (and not in a good way). Jared Colony was asked to watch a friend’s Puggle puppy. While under his care, Jared poured vodka into the puppy’s bowl and encouraged the pup to drink it. After 30 minutes, the owner returned, “Pip was unresponsive, barley breathing with his tongue hanging [...]
The most common cause of canine hair loss is an allergic reaction to something…
Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day.
What Would A Dog Do has an excellent article about the day, problems caused by pet obesity, and ways to avoid it.
I’ll admit that I’m guilty when it comes to making sure I give the dogs enough exercise. As our lifestyles become busier, it becomes more and more important [...]
