A Case of Bigger Isn’t Always Better
This has been Riley’s favorite bed and chew toy all in one. I keep it near my desk so he can plop there while I’m working.
Since Kenzie has been here, they pile in together. Thinking they looked a little cramped, I brought down the big bed that was anonymously delivered for them to use.
Apparently, it doesn’t matter the size of the bed.

Up early while the world is still quiet. First cup of tea with Riley on my lap.
… What to Feed a Puppy Who Is a Picky Eater
Riley is a picky eater. A very picky eater. I didn’t even know it was possible to have a dog that’s not totally food driven. Over the course of my life, I’ve lived with 20 dogs and this is a first for me.
Very quickly after Riley arrived, he decided he didn’t like the food that his breeder sent home with him and just stopped eating. No amount of coaxing helped. Going hungry didn’t help. He actually started losing weight. … Read More
