Information on living with, training, and loving Dogs
I’m typing this post with one hand. I could blame this on Riley recovering from a routine puppy visit to the vet. And that would also coincidentally be true. But the fact is this is his favorite spot in the house.
All you people out there wanting lap dogs, be careful what you wish for…… Read More
I really really tried to wait a year. Best laid plans… The cycle of life begins again.
Meet Riley.
I admit it. I have dogs on my brain. I’ve made it a whole 9 months without a dog. That’s closing in on a new record for me. It’s not that I don’t miss Finn, too. I do. But cats don’t fall into the “can’t live without” category for me.
So I was curious. Where do most people fall in the “can’t live without” category? Looks like it depends on what country you live in.
I’m often asked if there are benefits to having multiple dogs. I’d have to say it depends on the number of multiples you’re considering. For instance, is having two dogs … Read More

A big box from Amazon addressed to me showed up today. This deluxe dog bed was inside.
I did not order it.

A sign from the universe that somewhere there’s a dog being that wants to come share its life … Read More
Meet Bob. My new dog.
He’s a pound puppy. Well, actually a pound old man; he’s around 8 years old. And he’s sweet as can be.
I know I said I was going to wait at least a year but…
Well…
I sort of am still waiting.
Bob is a dear friend’s dog that we’re dog-sitting for. Her usual standby wasn’t available and she had a terrible experience trying someone on Rover.com. (Not all Rover experiences turn out poorly. You … Read More
I cannot tell a lie. I’m wavering. I’d initially wanted to wait at least a year before bringing another dog into my life. I’m blaming it all on my daughter, Cait.
She’s been having me look at Aussies in Rescue and Shelters for her. She’s thinking she wants a Mini Aussie with a tail. Specifically a Mini Aussie Blue Merle. This is the girl she has her heart set on. She’s also thinking smaller is better for apartment living.
