When most dogs ride in the car with us, it’s all about their heads hanging out the window, barking at other dogs in other cars, bouncing around in the back seat, and having that blissful look on their faces as their tongues and ears flap around in the breeze. Our dogs are hardly the sentimental […]
We are guilty of faking out our dogs at least once in their life. Sometimes these fake outs can be by accident, like the time I was playing ball with a friend’s dog in the park. I had put the ball away and was talking to my friend when I pointed in a specific direction. […]
