Anxiety

Do you have an anxious dog?

We do.

While Roo is incredibly lovable, we realized shortly after she came home from the pound that she was a little more than simply excitable.  It’s normal for a puppy to need some time to adjust to his/her new surroundings, but Roo was terrified of certain things in our house. « Click here to continue reading the whole post »

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

According to Wikipedia, “Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a voluntarily observed holiday that commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.”  It also states that the “battle was significant in that the 4,000 Mexican soldiers were greatly outnumbered by the well-equipped French army of 8,000 that had not been defeated for almost 50 years.”  Those 4,000 soldiers must have teamed together pretty well in order to defeat twice as many enemies.

So, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I’m gonna post cinco (5) pictures of our dogs “teaming” up together… and basically just being so darned cute haha.

“Get that itch!”

“Did someone say food?”

“What do you want? We’re relaxing.”

“What was that?!”

“I’m tired; you keep watch for a little while.”

Paw-ty Training

Potty training (or housebreaking) a dog can be a very simple task… or in the case of both of our dogs, a complete nightmare.  So I’m gonna give you a few tips, pointers, and experience to try and help you to not have as hard of a time as we did.

Ode to Dogs

Bucking on their walk

Barking at a knock

Stealing all your socks

With youthful eyes


Begging for a scrap

Jumping in your lap

Disrupting your nap

With feisty eyes


Getting old and gray

Sleeping through the day

You will want to say:

“I wish you would play”

With clouded eyes


Think of all you gave

And the life you made

As your dog will fade

Be a constant aid

With loving eyes


With the end don’t fret

Think about your pet

How it’s on a jet

To a place sans vet

With closed eyes
