So this just happened and i'm still a little shaken up. My golden Bailey has never shown any aggression in her life - shes the sweetest dog and loves everyone. But tonight I went to move her bone so i...
Guys. FIVE HOURS. i almost cried when i woke up and realized what time it was. For the first three weeks we were getting up every 2 hours with Biscuit and i was honestly starting to lose my...
We brought home our golden retriever puppy Biscuit exactly 6 days ago and oh my god, nobody warned me about the biting. She latches onto my hands, my ankles, my clothes, literally anything she can get...
Took our 7 year old beagle Pickles in for her annual checkup last week expecting it to be totally routine. The vet listened to her heart and got quiet for a second and my stomach just dropped. Turns...
Luna came to us from a rescue in February. she had been in the shelter for almost five months after being found as a stray, and her intake notes said she was "shy with people, does not seek attention,...
Maple is 10 months old and has been on a mid-range kibble since we brought her home. she does fine on it, coat looks good, energy is great, no obvious issues. but i keep seeing people talk about raw...
gonna preface this by saying I was super skeptical about raw feeding. thought it was one of those things only "that type" of dog owner did. my golden Biscuit had chronic ear infections for literally...
So Luna has been with us since she was 8 weeks old and we've always worked from home, which i think is part of the problem. my wife started a new job last month and suddenly we're both gone 8 hours a...
Duke got his diagnosis at his checkup yesterday. i knew something was up because he'd been slower to get up in the mornings and stopped jumping onto the couch (which he has done every morning for 12...
Biscuit has been doing really well with his crate since we brought him home at 8 weeks. he'd whine the first couple nights, then settled into a routine, slept through the night by 12 weeks, no big...
eight months. that's how long it took us to figure out that Rosie, our 4-year-old golden, is allergic to chicken. chicken. the ingredient in like 60% of dog foods. i'm posting this because i wish...
every single time i pick up Pepper's leash, she turns into a completely different dog. spinning in circles, barking this high-pitched bark she only does then, zooming around the apartment, basically...
Cooper has been with us since he was 8 weeks old and he'll be 14 in July if we're lucky. for the past several months he's been slowing down in ways that are hard to watch. takes longer to get up from...
we brought home our golden mix puppy Biscuit nine days ago and i am so tired i can barely type. he goes down in his crate okay around 10:30 but then wakes up at 2am and 4am like clockwork. i take him...
we adopted Nora in October from a local rescue. she came from a hoarding situation - they pulled something like 40 dogs from one property. when she arrived at our house she went straight under the bed...
my 3 year old golden Hank has been scratching like crazy for the past 6 weeks and it lines up almost exactly with when we switched his food. we went from a brand he'd been on for two years to a new...
We have a 3 year old golden named Cooper and the shedding has always been there, but this spring it hit a whole new level. I vacuumed the living room yesterday and filled the entire canister. Then...
We got a 10 week old beagle mix named Biscuit exactly one month ago today and I wanted to write something real about it because most of what i read before getting her was either super positive or...
Biscuit is 10 weeks old now (we got her at 8 weeks) and we have officially made it through what i'm calling the Fog. i want to write down what i learned while it's still fresh because honestly the...
i have a 2 year old shepherd mix named Nova and she is the sweetest dog at home - cuddly, calm, great with my kids. but the second we're on a walk and she spots another dog, it's like a switch flips....
