Okay so our 2-year-old golden Biscuit has been pulling socks out of the laundry basket for about a year now. He doesn't chew them or destroy them - just carries one around the house like a little...
So we just brought home our 8 week old black lab puppy Biscuit on Saturday and oh my god, he bites EVERYTHING. My hands, my ankles, the couch, the rug... everything is fair game apparently. I know...
We brought home Moose (8 week old black lab) 12 days ago and wow. Just wow. I read so many "puppy prep" articles and still was not prepared for this creature. Love him to pieces but I need to vent a...
We brought home our 9-week-old lab mix Rutherford three weeks ago and I wanted to share an honest update because honestly, the first week was way harder than I expected. everyone said "enjoy every...
Yesterday afternoon my 4 year old beagle mix Pretzel got into my bag while i was working and i came back to find the zipper open and a half-eaten pack of sugar-free gum on the floor. Xylitol gum. For...
Okay so my golden Biscuit turned 2 last month and he has become the most determined counter surfer i have ever seen. i thought he'd grow out of it but nope, somehow he's gotten WORSE. last week he got...
Okay so i'm genuinely confused and kind of stressed about this. My pit bull mix Hector has been pretty social his whole life. He grew up going to the dog park, he's had dog friends, he's always been...
So my golden Biscuit turned 7 months last week and he has developed this obsessive sock-stealing habit. Like not just picking one up occasionally, i'm talking he will literally follow me to the...
We got our rescue Poppy in January. She's a 2-year-old shepherd mix and she came to us with what we were told was "mild separation anxiety." Mild was maybe not the right word. The crate was an...
Last April we adopted a 4 year old pit mix named Remy from our local shelter. when we met him he was pressed flat against the back of his kennel not making eye contact with anyone. staff told us he...
I want to preface this by saying i know dog parks aren't for every dog and i know my dog has some reactivity. Marcus (my dog, not me, i know it's confusing) has been making really good progress....
I take my 3 year old lab mix, Gordo, out on trails pretty much every weekend. We mostly do intermediate rocky trails, nothing extreme but definitely not flat groomed paths. A friend of mine keeps...
So I adopted Biscuit 3 weeks ago from a local shelter. He's a 4 year old sheltie mix and honestly the sweetest dog I've ever met when I'm home. The second I leave though, my neighbor texted me...
We brought home Luna (golden retriever, 11 weeks when we got her) 8 weeks ago and leash walking was a complete disaster for the first 6 weeks. She'd either bite the leash, just lay down and refuse to...
We adopted Ruger, a 3 year old hound mix, two weeks ago. Week one was honestly amazing - he was calm, curious, followed me around the house, slept through the night. I thought we got a unicorn rescue...
So my 4 year old aussie mix has been on a grain-free food since we adopted her two years ago because the previous owner was feeding it and we just... kept it going. Last week at her annual checkup i...
We just brought home our golden retriever puppy Maple three days ago and she is SO bitey. Like constantly. My hands are covered in little scratches and she especially goes for my ankles when i'm...
I have been fighting this battle since last summer. My golden Waffles started getting these red patches on his paws and belly, was chewing himself constantly, had recurring ear infections like every...
I got Biscuit when he was 8 weeks old and hes been amazing except for one thing - the second i walk out the door he absolutely loses it. Like full panic mode crying, scratching the door, the works. My...
I adopted Luna from our county shelter last October when she was about 2 years old. The shelter didn't know much about her history - she was picked up as a stray. She was sweet but really shut down in...
