For the last few years I have picked up a large breed dog toy that always seems to make it into the After-Holidays Discount bin at Target. I can assume I know why it doesn’t sell well but my dogs love it none the less and the toy gives them a year’s worth...

I know I shouldn’t even complain since our families and friends up north are experiencing Winter Storm Ion with a much more intense impact, but we Floridians got down into the 20’s Monday night and even colder last night! We are freezing down here and not...

With so much commotion in the house this weekend, you know the pups, who are penned right next to my desk, noticed that momma was not here for the past two days. I woke this morning and sat in front on my computer with my cup of coffee and looked down to my sweet Chis...

When I contacted Terry to let her know she was next on the waiting list for an available puppy, I could hear the excitement in her email! The phone call that followed was even more exciting. We have decided to place Diva in a new forever home and when she heard that...

When I shared the news with my daughter that she would have competition this weekend, with a total of three entries in her class, she had a hard time holding back her excitement. Finally! A chance to compete against someone! A chance to earn a point! Her wish came...

This Christmas gift I got for my husband turned out to be a perfect addition to our dog show gear. The 12 volt cooler/warmer for the car saved the day! Keeping the chicken bait cool all day while we wait for our show times can be difficult in Florida. Ice packs and...

Well, we finally have a fluid motion on our sweet KC, with only one pause in the ring and that was not her fault. The ring we showed in today was in with the grooming area and someone dropped some equipment, making a very loud bang and KC stopped to look in the...
