I get asked by people all of the time where I got my German Shepherd. She does have the loveliest markings and an impressive pedigree and conformation.
Most impressive of all, I think, is her laid-back personality. She still exhibits the strong, protective, powerhouse qualities of all GSDs, but she is also very patient and easy-going [...]

I always like to check in on what type of searches and which referral sites brings people to this blog. Yesterday there was a Twitter referral to The Waggery’s Good Dog Blog. I’m not even on Twitter. Hmm . . . interesting.
I had an email from one reader pointing out that besides my recent Kaylee [...]

One year ago today, we brought Kaylee home
Here she is today . . . quite the different dog than she was back then
Such a beautiful girl!
Last September Kaylee was malnourished, extremely timid of everyone and everything, she didn’t know how to play — not with us, not with toys, nor with other dogs.
There was just [...]

According to Jon Katz, our dogs do not love us. What they do, instead, is manipulate us for their own future gain.
Hmm.
That was the gist of the article I found myself reading yesterday after a fellow dog-lover emailed this link to me to get my take on it. And while I understand the unavoidable insult [...]

Heartworm season is upon us once again, and this coming weekend — the long Victoria Day weekend — is when the preventive measures begin.
From my Sentinel pamphlet:
Heartworm can be fatal
Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes.
Male worms are 4 – 6″ long and female worms are 10 – 12″ long.
The number of heartworms per infection can [...]

We’ve had Oreo for 10 weeks now, and already we’ve been to the vet’s with her 5 times. Yup. Every two weeks, like clockwork.
First it was about her skin troubles, that was three different visits right there. Then it was for her vaccinations (which we combined with one of her skin visits) because she hasn’t [...]

I had some time on my hands last night (which, translated, means I was too tired to do much of anything ;) so I decided to get a jumpstart on today, and bake some dog cookies.
I chose one of my easier recipes (Crunchy Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bread) and went to work, doggie helpers in tow [...]

The vet was very pleased with Oreo’s progress and said she looked like a different dog. He didn’t see her last week when we were in for her second shot of antibiotics, so it’s been three weeks for him, and he couldn’t get over the changes in her.
He was very pleased with her right eye, [...]

When we first took Oreo home, we were told that she suffered from allergies in the summertime. Yet her skin, it was very obvious from the beginning, was already in bad, bad shape. And it was only January.
Her snout and the skin around her eyes was very pink (which you can see in these pictures), [...]
