The Energetic Adolescent Dog

The devil made him do it. Or was he just being a dog? That’s my boy sniffing in the middle. All my dogs are now in their matching Halloween collars as of this morning, so is that what put the mischief into my adolescent boy? Did the spirit of Halloween seep into him? Can you see it on his face and all over his tongue? Is that graveyard dirt? Or just happiness? He did just get a chance to run {Read More}

Keeping Heads Above Water: Hurricane Survivors

Dog Training With Your Valentine

Today is St. Valentine’s Day and as far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way to share unconditional love than with your dog. They’re always ready with a wag of their tails for a new adventure. Here’s a sweet Labrador Retriever puppy who is a recent graduate of the Love Wags A Tail puppy board-and-train program giving us his all. Speaking of love, he had plenty to give and he also loved training. Of course, we offer some very tasty {Read More}
