How To Get The Best Hotel Accommodations For Your Pet
Hello everyone from Sunny Nashville, TN! How to get the best hotel accommodations for your pet! We checked into the Renaissance Nashville Hotel last evening and as we were walking the dogs for their potty break, a thought came to me! It was 9:30 pm and what if I was walking by myself. Would I feel safe? Why was I thinking about this…because the pet relief area is a block away from the...

Surprising Facts About Dog Kisses
Happy Wednesday everyone! Our pet’s kisses are the best! And that’s why I’m talking about the Surprising Facts About Dog Kisses. Jake And Maggie are so affectionate and show us so much love. We used to call Maggie the “mad licker” when she was a puppy because she would give an over abundance of kisses to us. LOL. I first thought she was suffering from some anxiety but realized it was her...

What Is Black Dog Syndrome?
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today we are talking about Black Dog Syndrome, also known as BDS, and what it means. I have always loved black dogs and have never been afraid of them but some people are because of a fear stigma due to a specific breed such as pitbulls. Myself and my family have always had black or black and white dogs since I can remember. Whether they were adopted from a shelter...

A Chemical Free Yard For Your Pet
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today was so beautiful with sunny skies that it made me want to go out and start my yard work (boy do I have a lot to do). I always consider the dogs when fertilizing and planting. We have a grub problem this year and I’m on the search for a pet safe solution to fix our problem. If you’ve got any ideas, I would love to hear them! Today we are talking about A...

Do Dogs Know When They Are Going To Die?
Happy Wednesday everyone! Do Dogs Know When They Are Going To Die? This is not a happy topic but one that I wanted to write about. I was looking at the calendar today and on April 6th almost 7 years ago, our sweet Bella passed away. We had already lost our Bear to cancer and our Lady to a stroke. Bella had become very depressed but on that morning something was different. I was confused by...

Jake’s Surgery At Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center And Dog Friendly Columbus, OH
Happy Wednesday everyone! I previously wrote a post about Jake’s Luxating Patella/Cranial Cruciate surgery last year and we thought we were out of the water. But our hopes for a successful recovery went wrong. During that surgery, two screws were placed in the knee and one had come loose approximately 1 1/2 inches which meant Jake had to have a second surgery to remove the screw. He came...

How Does A Dog’s Immune System Work?
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today on the blog we are answering questions on How Does A Dog’s Immune System Work? I found this topic particularly interesting because every time I would take Jake And Maggie to their yearly exams, my vet would ask me if I give them Vitamin C. I had never really thought much about it until he explained all the health benefits. Vitamin C is an important...

Why Does My Dog Smell Like Fish?
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today on the blog we are talking about Why Does My Dog Smell Like Fish? I will admit that Jake And Maggie have had problems off and on since they were pups with their paws smelling like Fritos (see my post on Why Do My Dogs Paws Smell Like Fritos?). I can honestly say they have never smelled like fish thank goodness but what if they did at some point? What would...

Do Dogs And Cats Suffer From Seasonal Affective Disorder?
Happy Wednesday everyone! And Happy New Year! After a much needed break, I’m back to blogging and will be doing so every Wednesday. I took time to work on a fun new project which I’ll be talking about here shortly. But for now, it’s all about our sweet pets! The weather in Weirton has gone from cold to freezing to warm with some snow in between. We’ve had some very dreary days lately and...

How To Decorate Your Christmas Tree
Happy Friday everyone! We are day 16 into The 24 Days Before Christmas and I’m talking about How To Decorate Your Christmas Tree. Do you search Pinterest looking for inspiration, find something you love, and then think…how did they do that? After all the searching and looking, I kinda did my own thing. Mr. TAL and I put up two trees this year and I wanted to use what we had before I went out...
