My Fourth Dog Adoption Was A Fail

July 19, 2016 By Amanda 8 Comments

dog adoption

For months I’ve been wanting to add a fourth dog to our family. Twice I’ve found an American Staffordshire Terrier mix that I wanted to adopt but the same question came up both times: “Do you know if she’s good with cats?” This is what I would ask the shelter volunteers because after all, I have two kitties. And not only that, but my tabby cat Joey is disabled. Although I was heartbroken because I wanted these dogs, I wasn’t willing to risk Joey’s safety. So what happened when I found a fourth small dog to adopt? I risked Joey’s safety.

Dear Parents With Small Children…

dog bite prevention

I grew up terrified of dogs. My earliest memories with dogs are of my cousin being bitten by the neighbor dog and me getting chased down the street by one. Oddly enough, none of my friends had dogs when I was growing up. Since I wasn’t raised around them, the familiarity was not there. I was simply uneducated about the whole concept of dogs. Nowadays it seems like a majority of families have a pet, and most likely a dog. Of course, I believe that pets are family members. As parents, grandparents, older siblings, or whatever family role we play, we need to be teaching children about animals – how to respect them, how to treat them, and how to greet them. If we don’t teach these extremely important life lessons, it could end up in an animal abuse or bite situation. So let’s talk about it…

Dog Mom Problems: The Challenge of Having Three Dogs

March 25, 2016 By Amanda 12 Comments

The challenge of having 3 dogs

It was a typical September day.  The weather was still hot and I was spending another day working at home.  When it came time for me to take a break, I walked into my bedroom and my phone went off.  It was a text message from the manager of Happy Pets Palace & Playground.  I’ll never forget the moment.  I looked down at my phone to see a photo of the cutest white fluffy dog I had ever seen with the caption “Know anyone who wants a puppy?” This beautiful baby girl had been left by someone at the facility. When I laid eyes on the little ball of fluff, my heart melted and my life forever changed.  At that moment, my life went from revolving around one dog to having to split my time between two.

Fast forward – now I have three dogs and it is more of a challenge than I ever expected.  I love my crazy household but having more than two dogs has definitely presented it’s difficulties.

Mommy and Me Monday

It’s the continuation of our “Mommy and Me Monday” series!  I had some errands to run today so it was the perfect opportunity to spend some time with my boy. Luckily most of the places we shop are dog friendly so I packed up Wynston and headed out, blanket and treats in hand.
