Although we didn’t have a huge harvest of pickling cucumbers (or even regular ones) this year, I did still manage to get a couple jars worth of pickles. I have always been a big fan of pickles of all sorts but a spicy, zesty pickle to eat with a hearty lunchmeat...
Hello all my wonderful anipals & human friends! I know I'm a day late but what can you do? Mom was too busy to help me finish my post yesterday and she said that since it's her birthday today, she can do what she wants to do. It's her blog, after all. Winter is...
Good morning my doggie friends, Today I would like to discuss the very serious matter of allowing your dog to be left out of all the fun. As you may have seen yesterday, my family recently went to the Oktoberfest. I heard about the trip and was excited about the new...

Hey Anipals! Is your summer in full swing yet? Ours sure is here in Germany. It's been hot enough to make a dog's paws sweat...and I tell you what - that is HOT. We're talking 95F and up in a country with no air conditioning! Mom and dad did buy me a portable a/c unit...
