The Breakdown And Dysfunction Of An Animals Mind
Rene’ Descartes, the 17th century philosopher and mathematician once quotes that animals were not so much organisms but machines, biological devices with no more awareness than a clock. “Animals eat without pleasure, cry without pain; growing without knowing it. They desire nothing, fear nothing,” he wrote. I am in complete disagreement with him and thanks to the advancements in science and...
Joeys P.A.W. Spring Fling 2
If you follow me on my Instagram account @twoadorablelabs, you have seen many posts from @a.miracle.named.boone. I have had so much fun meeting and talking to the many dog parents or dog pawrents as we call ourselves on Instagram. Thomas and I recently had the pleasure of meeting Boone and his mom as we enjoyed a cup of coffee at Starbucks in Cranberry, PA. Tanya, Boone’s mom, is the...
How To Teach Children To Be Kind To Animals
How to teach children to be kind to animals? How else can a child know the difference? I was once told that animals do not have personalities or feelings. I was an adult participating in this conversation and could not for the life of me rationalize the words my ears were hearing. It is so important for children to learn how to treat and respect their pet, other pets, and animals of all...

Strawberry, Banana, Oat Dog Treats
Today was one of those days that being home and not having to go anywhere felt wonderful. We got a heavy snow that came down and made the roads treacherous. Fortunately, I had gone to the store yesterday so we had enough food! I made us steak salads and made the dogs new treats that I’ll call Strawberry, Banana, Oat Dog Treats!! Thomas is on vacation and the four of us had a relaxing day...
Health Risks Of Sleeping With Your Pet
How many of you sleep with your dog? Thomas and I sleep with Jake and Maggie every night and honestly, I love it!!! Jake and Maggie have two different sleeping styles with Maggie curling up into a ball at the bottom of the bed and Jake literally sharing a pillow with me and snoring in my ear. I’ve been asked many times how I can sleep like that. Now, there are times I do have broken sleep but...
