January 8, 2017 By Amanda 16 Comments

should my dog wear a collar at homeWhether or not dogs should wear collars around the house can be a heated topic. Like human parents, every pet parent thinks they are doing what’s best.

Let’s discuss the popular question of “should my dog wear a collar at home?” I went to my personal Facebook page to ask my dog mom and dad friends how they felt about the issue. Valuable opinions flooded my post, and now I’m going to share some insight with you! Of course, I will also be adding my personal thoughts on the matter.

Pool Safety Tips for Dogs: Staying Safe in the Summer

June 3, 2016 By Amanda 2 Comments

pool safety tips for dogs

It was a hot September day. I had just picked up my new rescue dog, Khloee, from the boarding facility she was abandoned at. (You can read more of that story here). I was so incredibly excited about this new ball of fluff in my life, that I just had to go show my mom! After all, Wynston had been my only dog for 2.5 years. My little Khloee was a mere 7lbs when I brought her to my mom’s for the first time at three months old. Boy was Khloee rambuncious. She was full of energy and personality.

She also noticed the yellow ducky chlorine holder that was floating around…and then it happened. [Read more…]

Surviving in the Sweltering Arizona Heat

August 19, 2015 By Amanda 4 Comments

Arizona heat

It’s hot outside.  And I mean really hot.  None of this 90 degree stuff – I’m talking 117 during the day and 100 at night.  It’s brutal.  Did you know that Arizona shuts down airports at 117 degrees because it’s not safe to get airplanes off the ground?  Yeah, it’s that bad.  Luckily the temperatures are supposed to drop to around 102 next week. YAY!
