Last weekend I moved from my apartment to a townhome across town. Although it went pretty smoothly, it was still a little stressful for Ace and the cats, not to mention Josh and I. Ace is taking it easy in the pic above with his dane friend Piper who came to visit once we moved in.
Here are some ideas to make moving easier for your dog based on what I did and a few things I should have done:
1. Walk your dog in your ...

This is part one of a two-part series on how I trained my mutt during the first two weeks he came to live with me. Click here for part two of the series.

During day 17 of my 30-day challenge to take my dog to 30 places, Ace and I visited Sheyenne River Kennels in West Fargo.

Uh oh, I’ve disturbed it. ...

Here are some reasons why adopting a homeless animal is a good choice. Next week, I will write about reasons to buy from a breeder. I favor adopting homeless animals, but I also know many wonder ...

It does not surprise me that some dogs actually injure themselves from wagging their tail too hard. During my days ...
I began walking dogs last fall at the Natural Pet Center in Fargo, which also keeps dogs from the 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. The sad thing is, although I haven’t been there since Thanksgiving, some of the same dogs still sit there, waiting to be walked every day. These dogs waited in their kennels all winter, getting out for a few short walks here and there.
