Affiliate Links Summer barbecuing, oh yes! Love a lightly blackened ear of corn, fresh off the grill and a sizzling piece of fish. It’s so yummy and fun to barbecue, it doesn’t seem fair not to include the whole family, ie: members of the furry kind. How do we make it safe and fun for them, too?  I have some great summer barbecue ideas and products to make your family day a big success! Continue reading [Continue Reading]

Affiliate Links     I got it; I got it! No, I got it!   It’s only April, but never too soon to get ready for summer! I, for one, count it as my favorite season. With our move to Florida, the pups are spending a lot of time in and around the pool and I have such a great tip to share! We’ve discovered the Best Pool Toy Ever! I don’t use caps lightly, mind you. 🙂 It’s the Super Subbies Squiddy Tub Pool Toy and my-oh-my, does it pack a… [Continue Reading]

  Jasper fell into the pool. Luckily, he’s a strong boy and he pulled himself out. But, what if he didn’t know how to get himself out or fell into the ocean? Can dogs drown? Yes!

“A picturesque walk along the beach followed by a surfing lesson, before being whisked off in a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce Corniche convertible for a half-day pampering session at Harrods, to then return to sink into a sumptuous bed by a warming, wood-burning stove – sounds like the perfect holiday, right?” The UK’s The Luxury Channel isn’t describing the perfect holiday for us, no! This is a five star dog hotel. The Cotswolds The Paw Seasons is the most exclusive hotel for dogs in the world, offering the first of its kind truly luxury vacation package.

Affiliate Links Jasper & Sophie playing in the front yard I love a good smell. Don’t you? I’m not a big perfume wearer, but give me a gorgeous musk or a prepared aromatherapy scent, and I’m in heaven.

Most flea and tick products smell clinical, at best, dangerous at worst. So, you can understand why I’m over the moon that I’ve discovered Earth Heart’s Buzz Guard. Oh,… [Continue Reading]

Jasper & Sophie by the river one morning New York City is a sensory overload. You love it or hate it. But, there’s a lot of fun, dog friendly activities in this city to do, and life is never boring. Here are just a few of my favorites with Sophie and Jasper. People/Pup Watching: NYC is a very social place for dogs. Just walking down the street, you’re likely to encounter dozens of them, sometimes being walked by the same person! Neighborhood dog walkers and people just out for a romp with their pups are everywhere,… [Continue Reading]
