Woof Wednesday: Raising Your Pets Naturally

Hello four- and two-legged friends! I hope you’re having a fantastic week. It’s super humid here today and my hair is just frizz-city. Add to that the fact that I’m in heat and no dogs in our neighborhood seem to want to help me soothe my itches (or mom runs them off) and I am just one sad puppy. I’ve been howling and crying about my tragic situation for a couple of days now but... read more

Woof Wednesday: No more fleas and ticks

Hi friends! Because we had a pretty mild end to our winter, and there was no freeze to kill off hatching bugs, the creatures are out in full effect. Ticks, mosquitoes and maybe even some fleas are running rampant around here. And I think mom and dad might actually be getting tired of pulling ticks off of me or finding fully inflated ones lying on the floor. It’s time to take action to keep these... read more

Woof Wednesday: Frequent Questions About Newfs

Hi there, Well, I know it’s been a little while since my last post. But I have been busy trying to keep cool in the summer heat and just loosing as much fur as I possible can while tracking in dirt without end into the house. Needless to say I’ve been keeping mom very busy with cleaning up after me–but that’s what she’s here for, right? I thought it would be fun to jump back... read more

Woof Wednesday: How Dogs Think

Hi Friends! Have you ever wondered how a dog thinks? What makes them sniff at things like crazy when you smell nothing at all? Or what your dog is dreaming about when you hear those muffled barks and his paws are twitching? Or what about your dog’s behavior in general and why he decided rolling in that pile of poop was a good idea? Obviously you care about what dogs have to say, because you are... read more

Nutrish is delish – New Dog Food from Rachel Ray

This post brought to you by Nutrish. All opinions are 100% mine. When I was contacted to participate in the launch of the Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 dry dog food and write a review, I was quite amused to learn that Rachel Ray was making dog food.

Woof Wednesday: Dog Safe Presents

Hello friends, It’s started warming up over here and man am I starting to shed and lose dirt all over the kitchen. I can turn our kitchen into a desert overnight. It’s quite a feat really.

I wanted to take a... read more

Woof Wednesday: Death of a Harness

Long time no bark! Mom has been so dog gone busy lately that she’s had no time to sit down and let me dictate my thoughts to her. Needless to say my big paws make typing pretty dang hard, so I’ve been forced to silence myself for the last few weeks. And I have to say, I’ve missed you! Today I’m celebrating the death of my old harness. Mom bought it for me 3 years ago and I hated it... read more

5 Sites to Keep You Out of the German Stores

I know that not all places in Germany are as unfriendly to shoppers as they are in Hessen, but one thing I am not a big fan of is being looked at like a crazy person when I go stand in line somewhere because I have a shopping cart full of stuff.
