I got my mutt Ace for free. His previous owner recognized she would be saving money for every day Ace was out of her life, so she did not accept the $50 I offered her. If she could see this post, then she would really know how much she’s saved! But I wasn’t attracted to [...]

It’s difficult to turn potential foster dogs away, especially when a dog rescue group contacts me about a certain dog that needs my help or a dog that will be put down at 4 p.m. today. Fostering a dog means taking in a homeless dog while it waits for a permanent home. Although I encourage [...]

I am teaching my mutt Ace the “touch” command. I have a silent competition with my friend Maren to own the dog that knows the most tricks.

I know I’m not the only one who has a dog with a tennis ball obsession. Or, you could call it a retrieving obsession. It gets pretty annoying when my dog is obsessing over crumbled pieces of paper or hair ties or a stuffed animal. He will toss objects to me over and over, hoping [...]
