I am a big fan of the show Monk. Though they have long ago stopped making new episodes, I watch episodes from the eight recorded seasons regularly. I also think that in this hand washing, germ killing environment, the character Monk would come out ahead. Monk was called a germophobe, always using wipes after shaking someone’s hands, but isn’t that the thing to do these days to stay safe? Yes! Avoiding the hand shake is even better. In this Covid-19 {Read More}
Family Lockdown Boogie with Maisey the Family Dog
April 10, 2020 by
Here’s a bit of fun from the Buchanan family of four who are in Covid-19 lock-down like the rest of us. They make their home with their dog, Maisey, in Wellington, New Zealand, and give the world a bit of entertainment and levity during these trying times with a creative song and dance number. They’ve also been interviewed by RNZ, which is a New Zealand public broadcast service, and it’s quite fun to hear them talk about the experience of {Read More}
Professional Dog Training Help During A Pandemic
April 8, 2020 by
We are in an episode of history to-be that is remarkable. My mother passed away over 20 years ago, and I often think about what happened since then.

I know there are stories like this in proximity to many people. If not this year, last year, or years ago. If not now, the future is wide opened. And I don’t know what makes this maddening, venomous, cruelity suddenly escape, but the thought that it is festering in people and that our {Read More}
Dog Poop Bag Options and Housetraining
April 3, 2020 by
I’m thinking outside the usual poop bag in today’s blog post. We dog owners need a way to pick up the poop and the more economical, the better! Don’t get me started about people who walk away from the piles their dogs leave. When they do, they can be leaving behind a host of communicable parasites and disease in that pile. Be responsible. Pick up the poop and dispose of it. I’m a Costco shopper and found on the Costco {Read More}
