Day 24 of our challenge was not as much of a challenge for Ace as it was the kids we saw. Ace and I walked through a playground/park area where a bunch of elementary kids were having a last day of school fun day. And boy were they having fun! Water games, food, tons of [...]

This is Matty. I have never featured a homeless pet before, mostly because I know there are thousands out there. How could it do any good if I post a cute photo and notes about just one dog? I’m not sure if this will help Matty or not. What I do know is this: There [...]

Not even 48 hours after I’d written a post about how I don’t allow my dog in the bed, I left the room to go brush my teeth. Less than five minutes later, I found this: Oh, sorry to disturb you two.

Ace and I took a road trip and spent two days at my grandparents’ town during days 22-23 of my 30-day challenge. Taking Ace somewhere new in the car is always good for him. He didn’t cry this trip. He is actually getting better in the car in general, whether it’s a trip to the dog [...]

A pitbull-type dog mauled a 9-week-old boxer puppy last week at a local dog park in Fargo, shaking the pup and refusing to let go, according to some of the dog owners in Ace’s agility class. It’s a scene that has happened or could happen in all dog parks: one dog attacks another dog. Aggressive [...]

This is Beamer, the cat I have been catsitting for the past two and a half weeks while my boyfriend is in California without me. Sure, he looks cute here (well, kinda), but this cat is something else. Beamer knocks over garbage cans and eats whatever he can find inside, eats anything that falls on [...]

On day 19 of my 30-day challenge to take my dog to 30 new places, Ace and I attempted to find a business called the Pet Boutique. It was a walkable distance from my apartment, so we headed out to find it. Unfortunately, once we got there, I realized it was out of business, which [...]

I never thought I’d own any kind of Labrador retriever or lab mix. Working at a kennel for seven years and dealing with all the hyper, untrained labs, I never wanted one. Plus, it seemed like every other person owned a lab and that made them boring to me. But when I searched hundreds of [...]

On day 18 of my 30-day challenge, Ace and I walked through a new part of the neighborhood. This is nothing exciting, but a good way to go somewhere new when we are pressed for time like today. I only had an extra half hour or so. Normally Ace wears his pinch collar on walks, [...]
