Cats are known for being quite clean. They spend a lot of time grooming themselves and don’t enjoy being dirty (unlike a lot of dogs). So you might be surprised if you see your cat laying in the litter box, right? While this is pretty common behavior for cats, you will want to figure out […]
When my cockapoo was a puppy, he chewed on everything! We had to spray our toes with bitter spray because he kept trying to bite our toes with his razor-sharp puppy teeth. Puppies have insanely sharp teeth! Even though he was tiny, he managed to chew up a shirt, a book, and some slippers in […]
I walk our dogs pretty much every day; sometimes twice a day. It’s my favorite way to get a break from work and enjoy the fresh air. But walking a dog that constantly pulls is not enjoyable at all for me or, I assume, for them. Walking large dogs that pull can be dangerous as […]
I did a lot of dog breed research before choosing my first dog. More than anything, I wanted a walking buddy! Mozzie (pronounced like Ozzy with an M in front) has been the best walking buddy I could ask for. Even as a puppy, my little cockapoo walked a 5k with me. I tried to […]
When my Cockapoo named Mozzie (pronounced like Ozzy with an M in front) was about a year old, I took him to the vet for a checkup. I was shocked when they found that he had fleas. I had been faithful in putting topical treatments on him every month as recommended. But apparently, the topical […]
Over the weekend, I took my two tiny dogs hiking up in the mountains. We got rained on and hailed on, and yes, there was mud. Lots of it. Besides needing to give the pups a bath ASAP when we got home, their gear was also in need of a major wash. To keep your […]
The reason I bring my phone with me when I walk my dogs is 100% because I want to be able to help a lost dog if I find one (this happens to me multiple timers per year!). When we adopted our dog Rudy, I picked out a new collar for him and had dog […]
There are some forms of technology that seem a little bit like magic to me — basically any kind of technology where I can’t see how it’s working. Electric fences definitely used to fall into that category because they are all about invisible signals being transmitted. You bury a wire in the ground (or even […]
My aunt lives on an acre of land and has two stunning collie dogs named Benny and Lucy. Benny likes to chase after cars, and Lucy likes to chase after deer and other wild animals. So, even though she has a large property, Benny and Lucy end up spending most of their time in a […]
My pup-nephew (my sister-in-law’s fur baby) doesn’t have a fenced-in yard. Dexter the Goldendoodle is a wanderer. In fact, he has wandered right on into neighbors’ houses to see what they are up to. Luckily my SIL’s neighbors all love Dexter and find his antics quite charming. However, my sister-in-law has been trying to come […]
