For a moment it looked like spring. Flowers were blooming, grass was growing, birds chirping. Then I wake up to this! What is this cold wet stuff and why would anyone want to live near it? Since we moved the boys have had to get used to snow! For them, it means more time napping by the fire or upstairs where it's … [Read more...]
Is Your Pooch Protected? #12Bravecto
We're well into fall now. Sorry if you were in denial, but the leaves have changed and many have already fallen. The brilliant autumn colors are all around.

He's outside most of the time now that we have property. … [Read more...]
What Do Your Pets Do All Day? #NuzzleSmartCollar
Ever wonder where your cats or dogs go when they're outside? For Max, it would be awesome to have a GPS dog collar that could track him down if he ever got out. Actually, he has gotten out a few times. With little kids it's hard to make sure the door is shut quickly each and every time. We've been lucky that he hasn't gotten far, but I often … [Read more...]
Lovng Life at the Beach #FueltheCure #FueltheLove
Loving Life at the Beach This dog loves the beautiful blue ocean, or maybe just the soft sand under his paws. He's not so fond of getting wet, though. Still, there's tons of fun to be had at the sea side besides swimming. There are holes to be dug, sand crabs to capture, and lots of open space to run.

Wild Calling! #TheArtofNutrition Dog Food Review
Max is a wild animal at heart. His favorite past times are hiking, rock climbing, and long walks on the beach. Hmm, this is starting to sound like a dating description. He also loves to cuddle, burrow under any blanket, and bask in the sun. He's a handsome, muscular brown and white lovable canine with irresistible big brown eyes. No, … [Read more...]
Dog’s Paradise, Cat’s Nightmare
It's springtime! Of course, here in California we've had a long, hot drought, so sunshine is not what has brought that transition about. We finally got some rain! The grass turned green and grew up past Max's head over night! I love the fresh, earthy smell after the rain, so we just had to get out in it. I am definitely not the only … [Read more...]
Where’s Rocco? WANTED Cat on the Run
Those of you who were dying of suspense have probably passed on by now, so I don't know why I'm bothering to tell the story now, finally! But, here it is.. Two weeks ago today I was sleep deprived after the first time ever that Rocco did not come home. That's right, Rocco was MISSING!! He's never not … [Read more...]
Poem to Cats that Want Out, In, Out?
Oh, cats who want to come in... You meowed at the door for an hour or more to get out into the wet yard. You could have gone round to the dog door and found that your way there never is barred. Rather you would harass your dear human lass so she never can become bored. Just a few moments pass and you're back at the glass looking ever so sad and … [Read more...]

Rescue of the Cat from the Demon Birds
Help Me! The days are longer, the sun is shining into the kids' window much later. Upstairs is warmer and it's been harder to get my two little monkeys to mellow out and go to sleep! I just had them all calm and relaxed after a bedtime story or three. We were snuggled up enjoying the sweet quietness (you know I was!) when I heard a very … [Read more...]
