Alright, Willie, we’ve got some work to do. Maddy Tarte 19 Months – YouTube This is what happens when your wife has too much free time…and your dog is a K-9 genius! Maddy Tarte 19 Months – YouTube This is what happens when your wife has too much free time…and your dog is a K-9 …
She said one week. One week to watch her dog and she would be back. It’s now day 10. No call. No notice. No answer. I understand. I’ve been in a pinch before, too. She said she would return the favor. My dog waits patiently while her dog wonders. She said one week. Where is …
One of the great benefits to going to the dog park is that I have been able to get advice from some experienced puppy moms about what is worth worrying over and what is normal behavior. I’ve also learned what commands are most worthwhile to teach your puppy and what they would have done differently …

Ok, we are done another toy and our average for toy destruction is one a day. Literally, toys that he hasn’t touched for three months are now destuffed and added to the list of the lost. Chew toys last all of 5 minutes with him even though they advertise that they will keep a puppy …
After a yearlong journey, my formal studies of the Hebrew language end on Monday. It’s crazy for me to think that a year ago, I identified the markings on the classroom board as field goals posts and golf flags. Now, I know them as letters joined together to make words that tell a story of …
