Understand the Winter and Dogs
I don’t know about you, but there is something I don’t like about winter. Maybe it’s the day’s getting longer (or seeming so). Perhaps it’s the cold. Maybe it’s the dark. Yes, it’s definitely the lack of sunlight which put’s me into a funk. As a child, I could eat a pint of ice cream and STILL be hungry. I …
Fall and your dog
They say dogs are color blind, but I don’t believe it. Rex has a toy “chest” where he keeps ALL of his priced positions. Whenever we come back from being out, even for an hour, Rex runs into the house to check his “chest” and make sure ALL of his toys are there. And here’s the interesting thing. He has …

Is your dog allergic to their food?
Just like people, your pet can have allergies too. Rex has them, and it caused a lot of problems when he was just a pup. How did I know? He constantly was licking his paws. And his poop? It seemed like he had chronic diarrhea. He had itchy and runny eyes and he sneezed. A lot. I didn’t know WHAT …
Just what is your dog trying to tell you?
When Rex get’s excited to see someone he hasn’t seen in a while, he talks to them. Yes, I said he talks to them. It is a series of sounds that I wish I could understand. His pitch changes and I know he’s trying to communicate something. I’m so glad to see you. You look great. Just what is it …
