Playing with Poodle Pups

A friend of mine breeds poodles. The last litter there were only 2 puppies, but I had fun playing with them. She has a new litter now with 9 puppies. They are 7 weeks old. I got to go for a visit today. Raising 9 puppies took up the whole main floor of her house. […]

Entertaining Dog

My son and his fiancee had tickets to spend the day at the local Renaissance Festival today. I was happy to take care of his dog for the day. They brought her to my house this morning so I got to see their Renaissance attire which looked very festive. It was fun having the dog […]

Walking Tess

My brother is here visiting for the long weekend. Usually he gets up before me and takes his dog Tess out for a walk. When I woke up this morning I thought it would be nice to go for a long walk first thing. I was surprised, however, when I was all ready to go […]

Puppy Antics

After a fun, family weekend at the cabin, we got things ready to go home this morning. My brother was scheduled to arrive this afternoon as he returned for the summer, so we wanted to make sure everything was ready for him as well. My son and his wife recently got a new puppy and […]

Perfect Puppy

This morning I got together with my friend with the puppies. I asked if they were at their new homes yet. They are going this weekend. One was placed immediately. The other was supposed to go to a certain home, but it didn’t work out. My friend called the next person on the list and […]

Puppy Party

A friend of mine breeds standard poodles. She has had several litters of puppies at her house. I had heard about them and seen photos and videos, but had never been to her house to see them in person. She currently has 2 puppies about 6 weeks old. Part of raising them is to get […]

Let’s Hear it for the Boy

A little over two years ago, a friend of mine almost lost her mother to an illness. It was actually her dog that alerted her to the seriousness of the situation. Luckily, she pulled through. Shortly after that, my friend’s dog had to have emergency surgery as his intestines flipped. The vet didn’t give the […]

Party Poodle

I went out for a short walk today and came across a young man walking his dog. I could see we were going to cross paths, so I sped up a bit to respect their space. As I was in front of them now, the young man said, “Hello!” very loudly. I turned around and […]

Dog Fun

Tonight we took care of my son’s dog for the evening while he went out and about. She’s so soft and furry to pet, which of course she loved. We had fun watching her antics as she pulled out the toys she wanted. She found a tennis ball and we tried to play catch. When […]

Another Miracle

Last week I shared a story about a dog hero. Only a couple of days later, my friend was in distress because that same dog was now in the emergency room himself and the vet was only giving him a 5% chance of survival. I knew this tragedy was too much for my friend. She […]
