Deck the halls with boughs of dog treats. Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Christmas time is upon us, and I have to admit that although I’m the happiest I’ve been in years, this season is a bit funky for us. Wynston and I are heading to Minnesota for Christmas, and it’s been crazy with only 4 weeks between Thanksgiving and the big day. We’re skipping Christmas cards this year (sorry, folks) but don’t worry – we’ll have some tremendous family photos for you all next year!
Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I still want to celebrate with you all! I decided to host a small giveaway as my way of saying thanks for following along on this journey with us. We hope you enjoy this Christmas giveaway for dog moms (and dads!).

Phew. Another Thanksgiving is in the books. Can you believe it?! As we head into a new decade (I have a feeling that 2020 is going to be LIT!), I’m focusing on making plenty of wonderful memories to close out the year. Thanksgiving 2019 was one to remember. Not because it was super crazy or dramatic or over the top, but because I was HAPPY in every sense of the word. I cannot tell you the last time I was legitimately happy around this time of year.
If you’ve suddenly found yourself on this page reading this post, chances are you have at least one family member who you dread seeing or dealing with during the holidays. Or maybe your family just radiates toxic vibes but you feel obligated to handle them at this time of the year. Whatever it is, I’ve been there. And although this article isn’t exactly dog mom-centric, you may find it helpful when showing up for festivities on Thanksgiving or Christmas.
There’s a lot of confusion among pet parents as to what makes a dog a “senior.” The discrepancies come from a variety of factors – age, breed, overall health and lifestyle. I personally believe that every single dog becomes a senior at a different time in their life, just like people do. But how do you know when your dog is a senior? I’ve come up with a list of signs to look for your in precious pup, and I also have suggestions for helping your aging companion.
When you get to know your dog’s normal body shape, movements and behaviors, you can easily notice when there may be something wrong. Finding an abnormal spot on your dog’s skin or feeling a lump beneath the surface can quickly be examined and treated effectively when discovered sooner rather than later.
