I’ll admit, I thought it was crazy to even consider a second dog, but now that Waylon and Willie have been brothers for three days I’m sold. There is something about having one dog who knows how you live to explain it to another dog. Sure, we are having the some house training accidents and …
Well, I didn’t expect this would happen, but there are actually two pups in my life now. With the move to Columbia, Willie lost a lot of his puppy friends. He wasn’t settled. Although we found trails to run on and great neighborhood walks, he was missing the social interactions of another four-legged creature. It …
After six months as an Asheville dog, Willie has moved on to the big city of Columbia, SC. He is now no longer roaming with the bunny rabbits and free range chickens. Now, he is a neighborhood dog. It is absolutely entertaining to watch him as he figures out neighborhood life, especially why he is …
On the rare occasion that I have an open day where my to-do list doesn’t involve meetings or clients, then I get to spend most of the day with Willie. Often, I will look at him and say, “What do you want to do today, puppy?” He looks at me with a wagging tail and …

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 …
I don’t know how he knows, but Willie knows what day it is and what we usually do on those days. I am not sure I purposefully created some of these schedules, but if they change, then he gets off. It’s crazy to think that within a couple of weeks you can train a puppy …
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 …
Well, I can’t say that Willie liked today’s bath anymore than he liked his last one, but I can say that he acknowledged that his coat felt better a little bit sooner than last time. In fact, he is currently snuggled up to my computer playing with a new toy. He has hit the 6 …
