Thank you, Ace … I’m glad I was patient enough to wait two months to find you, the “perfect” dog for me. I’m not sure I could do that today, now that I’m involved (obsessed) with rescue dogs. I have about five picked out I would adopt in an instant if I could. I’m thankful you have the endurance to hike all day, but you are also lazy and will sleep till late morning wheneve ...

…………………………………………………………………….. I really am thankful for this beautiful mutt. I mean, he does look and act like a dufus most of the time, but he does have a wise, calming side to him too. Although I would’ve been happy with any dog, I am glad I chose him. Ace ...

Today is the last day to submit a caption to Scout’s photo caption contest. Meanwhile, Scout is enjoying the day with no dog in the house. We are back from our bike trip and can’t pick Ace up from the kennel until 5 p.m. I can’t wait to see my mutt! ...

___________________________________________ I come from a family of dog lovers – my mom, dad and two brothers are all crazy about dogs like me. But while visiting my family last weekend, I realized that nondoglovers put up with a lot from their family members who do love dogs. Take my grandma, for example, a nondoglover who must tolerate two hyperactive sporting dogs every time she visits her son’s fami ...

OK, I’d heard this so many times that I believed it: Female dog urine kills the grass and male dog urine does not. I actually thought about this today and realized this is absolutely ridiculous. So I decided to do some research and see whether this is true or not. Someone has to stand up for the lady dogs. All I knew before looking into this further is I grew up with female dogs, and they turned our grass yello ...

Kennel training a puppy or dog is one of the most useful things to teach them. Jon Katz summed it up nicely when he said a dog left loose in the house will find trouble eventually. I like to leave my mutt out of his kennel as much as possible. When I go to work, Ace does not go in his kennel. He has the whole apartment to himself, minus my bedroom. But I wouldn’t have gotten to the point where I can trust him h ...
