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 […]

Dog Hero

A couple of weeks ago, my friend’s mother had to be taken to the hospital. My friend lives with her mom and said she knew there was something the matter by the way her dog was behaving. He usually sleeps in my friend’s room in the lower level of the house, while her mother is […]

Sweet Dog

My son went out of town for the day, so we said we would take care of his dog for the day. She has come over several times and we are getting to know one another pretty well. When my son left her in the morning, she looked out the window and door for him […]

Vacation at the Farm

My brother came today to stay a few days. Instead of boarding his dog, he brought her over to vacation at my sister’s farm. They texted back and forth during the evening to get the routine down and to just touch base. My brother was sad that there wasn’t a doggie cam so he could […]

Funny Dog Sitter

This evening as we headed out for a walk, we were met by a little barking ball of white fluff. The neighbor was walking her daughter’s dog who she was sitting for. She had a retractable leash on the dog, but didn’t know how to use it and the leash was locked with a very […]

Watching Tess

My brother put his dog in doggie daycare today as he came for a visit. There was a camera in the area so you could log in and see what was going on. We checked in on her often and watched her play with the other dogs. Later, she was so tired she plopped down […]
