dog

It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.

Our Little Slice of Heaven
Growing up, camping in the Pocono Mountains was something I looked forward to all year. At the end of every summer, my father would take my younger brother and I to the Poconos where we would camp at Dingmans Campground. Some of my best childhood memories were sleeping in a tent, fishing in the wild mountain streams, swimming in the Delaware river, and cooking meals over the fire. We still try to go every year, even as adults, and last year was the first year I got to take my boyfriend and our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Booker, camping with us.

They say you don't know what you have till it's gone, but that was never true for you. We knew exactly what we had, and somehow that makes it so much harder.

My Dog Gives Cookies
I saw this vocal challenge and an immediate thought entered my mind; the time my dog gave me a cookie. You’re probably thinking: “yeah okay” in the most sarcastic tone possible. Most people think chihuahuas are vicious little barking four-legged menaces in my case that is so the opposite of accurate, it makes me laugh. Nacho is my chihuahuas name it fits him perfectly. He is not too small for a chihuahua as I have seen smaller. My chihuahua is the type of dog who asks to be let out simply to bark at nothing for thirty seconds and then is already begging to come inside the house. He is the sweetest little dog ever and he is even alive to this day. Around this time I was still living at home since I was in high school. It was the year 2011 and I was the last one of my siblings to be still attending high school. Having siblings can be a tricky subject and I tend to have a sweet tooth. I had bought myself a pack of chips ahoy but not the regular pack. It was the chunky chips ahoy, which is even better. I hid them in them in my room for fearing that my sisters would find them and eat them all before I had even one, so this time I would not be making that mistake again. I Kept them in one of my larger purses and once in a while I would carefully peel back the wrapping and carefully without making any noise sneak a cookie into my mouth while studying. The purse where I kept my cookies was kept on the floor by my desk.

Top Five Ways to Keep Your Dog Safe During Hot Weather
For most, the summer sun means beach days, pool parties, and walks along the boardwalk. For our furry friends, the summer sun means frequently uncomfortable panting and the constant search for shade. For people to cool off on a hot summer day, a dunk in the pool or five minutes in front of the A/C may do the trick. But for our pets — the solution is not as simple. We dog owners must know the signs of K-9 heat stroke and understand how pets naturally cool when their body temperature rises from the summer heat.

Lightning Strikes Often
When I married my husband, I already had a cat. Okay, so Midnight wasn’t what I would say old enough to be called a “cat”. She was a four-month old kitten; a calm, baby, who loved to sit in your lap and be cuddled.

Gone But Not Forgotten Pt. 2
Coco was my second dog, the first one still in my memory. We got him when I was 6 or 7 years old. I still remember him cuddled up in the back seat with me. His fur was a dark chocolate brown at that time. He always used to sleep in my bed. It was no question I was one of his favourite people. We had Coco for a long time and I have many great memories of him. Here's a few that stand out:
