Remedial Potty Training
We’ve had a little back-sliding going on with potty training.
Before we got Kenzie, I made sure that Riley was solid with going outside. He would go to the door when he needed to go. And if I wasn’t right there, he’d ring the potty bells I have hanging on the door.
And Riley did a lot of the heavy lifting with helping to potty train Kenzie. Simple case of monkey-see-monkey-do.
But lately, we’ve been having some mishaps late at … Read More
Are We Still Paying Attention?
It’s easy to become numb to more bad news. It’s easy to say we’re overwhelmed, we’ll deal with this later. But later is coming sooner and sooner.
According to this article on Statistica:

Over the decades, the ecological and carbon footprint of humans has gradually increased, all while Earth’s biocapacity, i.e. its ability to
A Tired Pup is a Good Pup
Riley and Kenzie love to play. They play all day long. This is one of the great benefits of having two dogs who get along. They are best buds, built-in playmates, partners in mischief and sleeping snuggle bunnies. They do everything together.

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.
Wherever one is, you can find the other smushed right up against them.

Because Everybody Needs More Chaos in Their Life
Meet Kenzie, our new second puppy. Riley’s true love.
I always knew there’d be a 2nd puppy. If you’re a regular here, you would have bet the farm on it. I’ve written many posts about the right number of dogs and the best gender combination. So it was always just a question of when.
It’s a tale that’s a little bit like the Goldilocks story.
Since I knew I was looking for a female (Read the best gender combinations), and … Read More
