Dogs are undoubtedly adorable. But there is something about small dogs that is just extra cute. Perhaps it’s the fact that everything about them is miniature-sized. They have tiny paws, little faces, small tails, etc. Everything is mini and it’s cute. My favorite part of any dog show is always seeing the toy dog category. […]
Stimulating your dog’s mind and challenging him to try new things is one of the keys to fulfillment. Finding ways to work with a dog’s instinctual nature can bring out the best in them. The walk offers a structured routine that allows you to bond with your dog, but playtime can give you more opportunities […]
In the years that I’ve been working with dogs, I’ve met some pretty powerful people. Not all of them are necessarily famous, but a lot of them have daily lives where they’re in charge of many others, or they run Fortune 500 companies, or they’ve been elected to office. They’re the kind of people who […]
If you’re in any way a responsible pet owner, you know that sometimes having a pet comes with some tough decisions. We all want to believe that we’ll have our dogs forever. And we probably adopt our pets with that intent in our minds and our hearts. But sometimes life has other plans. The decision […]
Life comes for all of us. One day we’re young and carefree in our photos, the next we hardly recognize the adult staring back at us from the mirror. But it’s not just us humans who are subject to change. Our dogs are also the victims of the passage of time. And we can see […]

There are many stereotypes about dogs, some of which are more accurate than others. One of the stereotypes surrounding dogs is that all dogs love water. While this may be true of some dog breeds, there are others who aren’t that keen on water. In my family, it was the cat, Patch, who enjoyed water […]
There is something about dogs that is just so kind. They have an innate sense to care for others – something that we could probably all learn from. My mom was always commenting on my dog’s instincts about being a “mother hen” towards all the animals in our family. She was always so patient and […]
Most of us don’t really like things flying at our faces, even if it’s food. I still remember being seven and getting traumatized by my attempt to catch an M&M in my mouth. I completely missed and hit myself in the eye. It was not a fun feeling. And since then, anything that remotely looks […]
When I was twenty-two years old we lost our cat Patch to a heart attack. It was sudden and unexpected. He was our outdoor kitty, so the only consolation that we had was that he didn’t pass away while outside. He passed in the middle of the night in our home, where we were able […]
