Valentine State of Mind
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 […]

Dedicated to Toys Loved and Lost
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 […]

Grandma’s Special Gifts
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 […]

Nose Work Game to Cure Canine Cabin Fever
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.

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 […]
