I couldn’t help but notice that there’s been a lot on TV about how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. There are cooking shows on preparing the perfect meal, segments on the ideal location to spend the day, and ads for ways to show love ranging from jewelry to a new car. These are all nice, and […]
February is Heart Month. What better way to celebrate than to take a potentially lifesaving class for your dog’s heart! If you are a pet owner, pet walker, pet sitter, pet groomer, doggie daycare employee, animal shelter employee/volunteer, ACO, FF/EMT, Police Officer, DART member, or just want to be prepared in case of a pet emergency, […]
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, Asa is getting a bit nostalgic thinking of all his old squeaky toys that are no longer with us. Ok, I admit I may have killed a toy or two. But that is no reason to get all wishy washy and dedicate a song to them! Sure he loved them […]

Have I mentioned Grandma isn’t a dog person? Please don’t get me wrong. Grandma absolutely adores Asa and me, and loves spending time with us. However, she doesn’t quite understand what it means to be a dog. Take my birthday present for example. Grandma gave me a stuffed animal dog that she said reminded her […]
During the long winter months it’s important to keep dogs entertained both mentally and physically, but that doesn’t always require a trip outside to play. To keep Asa and myself from coming down with cabin fever during cold and icy days, we like to play Nose Work games! Nose work is a sport based on […]
February 3rd is National Golden Retriever Day! To celebrate I’d like to share some fun facts about our favorite breed. The first Golden Retrievers were bred in 1868 by Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, also known as Lord Tweedmouth, at his Scottish Highlands estate of Guisachan. In his quest for the prefect gun dog and retriever for […]
