Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Zombie Puppy
Have you ever noticed how similar teething puppies are to zombies? Let’s start with the obvious, they each have a desire to sink their teeth into human flesh. Luckily Asa doesn’t want to eat Mom, but one look at her hands and you can see he’s tasted his fair share of flesh. Next the awkward […]
Liver, Peanut Butter, Cheese & Bacon!
Asa is being home schooled for basic obedience training. Early on we figured out he was highly motivated by food over play. All of our other dogs were the same way so it was no surprise. We needed to get some “highly valued” reward treats for him to help reinforce training exercises and, after trying […]
A Puppy’s Perspective on Holidays
First off I’d like to thank Chuck Billy for doing a great job as a big brother explaining to me the curious ways of humans. But advance warning on holidays would have been appreciated. I’m still getting use to our regular routine, and have to admit I’m a little confused on the concept of weekdays […]
Chicken Bone!
Well, not really, but it is what we have been calling Asa’s newest chewing toy from Nylabone. Over the last week or so Asa has started to lose his puppy teeth which means his chewing has increased. Hard chew toys are now off limits in order to protect his new adult choppers. Chuck Billy was […]
Kibble Caper
Yesterday we were victims of a crime, and my parents could care less! Sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning a rabbit broke into our home and hid my kibble in various locations around the living room. This is an outrage! It’s bad enough that a rabbit was playing with my food, but it is […]
Goodbye Sweet Day
Today is Good Friday, and although it falls on a different date each year my family will always associate it with the loss of our dear Lemmy. Although my parents did not intentionally pick that date, after a brave battle with Cushing’s Disease, we said goodbye to Lemmy on Good Friday. His disease had progressed […]
Ultimate Hiking Vest
Anyone who knows me knows I have an affection for pockets – some even tell me its a problem. The day I discovered the SCOTTeVEST I was intrigued and decided to try one out for daily outings and one for hiking. There are several versions of the vest and each has 30-40 pockets! Now you […]
Proof of My Attempted Alien Abduction
I finally have photographic proof that Aliens are tracking me! Ok before I get ahead of myself, let me tell you the backstory first. When I was a young pup, I was warned by my big brother Lemmy that someday I would be abducted by Aliens. But as a puppy full of bravado, I thought […]
First Aid Kits for Dogs – Part 8
To wrap up this series I wanted to add a few more choices for medical aid bags. There are a lot of choices out there and during my search I weeded out those that were not rugged and compact. I like something that easily can attach to a backpack, be carried inside a pack or even worn […]
Puppy Playtime
With snow in the forecast for the tenth weekend in a row and temperatures ten degrees below normal, we decided to abandon our search for Spring, and instead head indoors for Puppy Playtime at Petco. Times vary so check with your local Petco for details, but it is a great way for puppies aged 8 […]
