Are These Toxic Pet Dangers Lurking In Your Yard?

The use of insecticides and pesticides has increased so much over the years, both in residential neighborhoods and public areas like parks.  These are the places we play with and walk our dogs!  Do we have a false sense of security when it comes to these potentially toxic chemicals and our pets?




I don't want any poisonous stuff ending up in my garden!

We know these substances can potentially

Artisan Inspired Dog Treats and a Giveaway

We first met the folks from Vita Bone® at the BlogPaws Conference in 2015. Each year since then we've enjoyed visiting their booth at the conference and seeing what new treats for dogs they have.

Two Shirts Morph into a Fancy DIY Dog Skirt

The BlogPaws Conference was coming up fast, and I wanted to walk the Red Carpet with Icy and Phoebe at the Nose to Nose Awards dinner.  I had an adorable dress for Phoebe, but I could not find anything dressy that would fit Icy with her big 50lb. long body!  Time was running out, so I got a little creative.

Boating Safety For Pets

Summer is upon us, and with warm weather and sunny skies, many owners
are choosing to take their canines out to sea on their boats.  Many four-legged companions enjoy sailing as much (heck, maybe even

My Dog Is Lord Of The Manor at Coindre Hall

One of the things Long Island, NY is well known for is it's "Gold Coast".   From the 1890's until after World War II, Long Island was one of the places the super rich flocked to.  Over several decades wealthy families built lavish, pretentious estates.  Post WW II, many of those homes were sold off or taken over by local government.  One such estate is Coindre Hall in Huntington, Long Island.  

A Dog's Slumber

We love to follow the daily comings and goings of our two favorite Persian cats, Truffle and Brulee from Sweet Purrfections.  They always have something interesting to say, and they have great giveaways!  I won this beautiful TRUSTYPUP Dog Bed on Sweet Purrfections.  





I wanted the bed for my Siberian Husky Icy, but of course Phoebe wanted it too!  Little sisters are like that, they always

Cute Dog Trick; Roll Over

Tricks training is a great bonding activity to do with your dog.  It's so much fun! One of the easiest tricks you can teach your dog is to Roll Over.  It mimics one of a dog's most natural behaviors, rolling over!

Begin by putting your dog in a SIT position.  Give her a treat as soon as she sits.
