We took a walk on the Peace Trail in Janesville, Wisconsin on our way to Illinois last Friday. Because it gets dark so early, Mom wants to stop somewhere to get some exercise before the sun goes down. We read about the Ice Age Trail System, and ended up parking where the Peace Trail is. […]

It’s time to make my tricky pumpkin Kongs for your favorite pup for Halloween. Every dog deserves something special for Halloween, why not a tasty Kong? I bet they will even enjoy working on one Halloween night when all the spooky stuff goes on outside. It is a very good distraction for a dog. My […]

Why is it so? Why when a home has eight dog beds, countless chairs, couches and other beds, does a dog decide to sleep on the hard wood floor. Can it really be comfortable? Nelson is the king of hard floor sleeping, even at nighttime. The weather is now cool, so it can’t be to […]

Look who is going wild now! Normally Olivia plays chase and wrestle with Nelson. I have never played with him, if anything I tell him and Olivia to knock it off. The other morning I noticed Olivia came inside and Nelson was still out, so I went out to see if he might want to […]

Today we have the final odds and ends from our Montana road trip. Not all the things we see fit in their own post, so we put those all here for you today. This is a shot of me and Nelson at Bozeman Pass. We drove through here on the way to and from our […]

It’s the Friday Variety Show on the blog – Felines, Flowers, and a Hound? Everyone worries about cat bro Bert, but he is doing great living as in indoor/outdoor cat. He spends most of his time outside, his choice. When he is in the house, it is usually to eat, or for a really good […]

Is your pup drinking enough water this summer? We get hot and thirsty just like humans but we are usually at your mercy to get water. Good fresh water is key to a healthy dog! Drinking out of the hose can be fun, bowls are great, but make sure your dog always has good, clean […]
