Today has turned out to be a fairly nice day. I should take the dogs on a walk but I am feeling totally lazy. I feel bad for the dogs but I'll play with them inside, instead. read more

I don't understand the new story of 2 dogs getting sprayed with quills and the owner only taking one to the vet. The owner then comes in 8 hrs later with the second dog-that dog ended up dying becasue it wasn't treated soon enough. What gives? read more

I just found out that if you can't exercise your pet and especially if it's a high energy dog, you can use a treadmill!! Not like dog fight promoters. You can have a dog trainer show you how to do it and what speed is good for you type of dog. The dogs geet their exercise and are not bored and getting in trouble!! read more

We all know this is going to happen but it still shocks us when it does. When I go to my parent's house, I can notice a huge change in McKenzie. SHe has more grey around her eyes and muzzle and she has a much slower gait. You can see her arthritis has taken a toll on her and she is very, very stiff. It's hard to see you pet like this. read more

I live in CHicago and I get bothered when I see dogs tied to a pole while owners "run" into a store. I know the owners think tha MacDonald's & Starbucks are quick runs and that the dogs love being outside. I just worry that some idiot will come and take that dog and do who knows what to it. read more
