Dog Training….Unraveled
Really, people need to quit whining about how disappointed they are about the Obama’s new dog. Seriously, with two little girls who have allergies and have never lived with a dog – who really thinks a shelter dog is a great idea? Yes, it would be lovely if all shelter dogs came with guarantees that [...]

And can I just add, while I’m on my rant today – I am so thrilled that our neighbors have gotten a new puppy. A poodle puppy that I can pretty much guarantee is not neutered yet, already looking like a matted disaster, and that they let run loose all over the neighborhood. If you [...]

Yesterday we attended the first Pugtoberfest event put on by Pug Rescue of San Diego. It was a great little event – hosted in a volunteers yard, with home made pug beers, pretzels and other yummies. They had a “pug yard” up for the little beasties to have some off leash play time, but, pugs [...]

In the way of blogs, somehow mine attracted the attention of author, Kim Pearson. She asked if she could send me her book, “Dog Park Diary, the social round of Goody Beagle.” Thinking it might be cute, I agreed to review it here.
Weeeelll, the first thing I noticed is that Goody Beagle needs to lose [...]

Well, as my “official” retirement date draws nearer (July 1st), I find myself piling on the work. This is difficult, because I really don’t know how to not work. I have a dog here for two weeks of training, another two showed up today to board till Saturday, and yet another comes on Saturday for [...]

Thrilled to discover that I am not the only one who thinks pushing your perfectly capable of walking little dog in a stroller is like, one of the weirdest things ever. I laughed hysterically over this post – check it out!
I wondered if other people noticed. It’s just weird man. Let them walk. They’re DOGS [...]

We went to Las Vegas this weekend. One last grown up trip before we get baby. It was fabulous. We were lazy and slept all day.
Vegas really is a culture all it’s own. Within the first 20 minutes, before we had even checked in, I saw some lady vomit into her hand and all over [...]

Just a few random shots of puppies that belong to some friends of mine – hard to resist that much cute in one tiny package!
This last one is my favorite – so much wrinkle. Rough life, obviously. Hard to resist playing with such inviting puppy smush.

Have a fun new client. Something actually challenging instead of you average jumping up, peeing in the house pet. A darling little corgi, who very easy going until someone turns on a ceiling fan, the microwave, or the computer printer. Then he turns into psycho killer herding dog who will keep that darn ceiling fan [...]
