Oh no! The month is nearly over and I haven’t told you about the goodies we got from Chewy this month! God, stupid month, going so quickly and all. Well, I guess I should probably dive in, since our March time is wrapping up. Sometimes it’s awesome when Chewy or other companies send us products that are for fun, like toys or new treats, but sometimes it’s even better when we get stuff we really need and use regularly. That was the case for this month, when we received so

Biology can be fascinating, it can also be scary. As a person who went through advanced levels of biology in college (back when I thought I was going to be a Physical Therapist), I’ve always been intrigued by how our bodies can function. That’s also true for how animals can be so similar and different to human biology at the same time. I’d like to use this post to share some information pertaining to Epilepsy in dogs, a diagnosis that can, no doubt, be unnerving for pet pa

I am a pet blogger. That means, among other things, pretty much every package we receive in the mail is not actually intended for the human residents who happen to be paying the mortgage, ahem...me and the manpanion. We receive packages of treats from incredibly generous companies almost weekly. I’m so thankful for the amazing items we receive and we don’t take it for granted. Even so, there are only so many treats or two smallish pups can enjoy. We donate a lot of what

Sometimes you only need to meet a dog once for it to change you. That was true with Sugar. I met Sugar while I attended the BlogPaws conference last year, but I had known about her for much longer. Her beautiful pup smile graced my social feed regularly and every time, she helped to bring light and happiness to my day. This photo was copied from Sugar the Golden's website.

You can, and should, read Bean’s story below. Here’s the most important pieces that I learned from our experience with her Mast Cell Tumor. Breath! I know this is a difficult diagnosis. It will all be okay, but you can only help your dog if you’re in the right mental state. Take the moment to collect yourself, do some deep breathing, and giving your dog lots of kisses. Touch is important. Every day, touch your dog, look at their bellies, between their toes, near their ta

My husband has dragged me to my fair share of Marvel and DC Comic Movies over the years for me to identify the trademark comic book hero trends: there’s some sort of origin story that is upsetting, whether it be because of spider bites, genetic mutilation, or some sort of bright green ooze. There’s a passion to help those who can’t help themselves, by leaping, flying, lifting heavy things, climbing buildings, or using fancy gear. There’s, in many instances, the use of teamw

With some fabric or costumes, backdrops, lighting and imagination, Bean and Yoda have been a little bit of everything. Bean has been Leonard Nemoy, Edward Scissor Hands, Richard Simmons, Rambo, a crazy cat lady, and a boxer (a sampling of photos below, but all of our antics are normally on Instagram). Yoda has been a reindeer, a fart (which is his normal resting state), a sombrero wearing dude, a rain cloud, and he’s been Yoda, of course! Use your best judgement. Don't eve
