One hour I’m spooning Cosmo on the living room floor. The next my heart rate goes up as he growls at a neighbor dog, again. Embarrassing. This is life with Cosmo.

I look forward to Halloween because I get to work with my mutt Ace on how to behave at the door. If you’ve ever rang my doorbell, you know my dog is not necessarily under control. He’s not terrible either. He never jumps, and he rarely barks for more than a few seconds. However, his [...]
