Puppy

We have found a fun and inexpensive toy for out new puppy "Maggie" to play with. Put water in a small bowl to freeze...when Maggie gets one of those, she can entertain herself for a long time as it scoots across the floor as she is playing with it. I like homemade toys...they are the most fun. We like to take a favorite toy and change it by putting it in an old sock or nylon....our dogs love nylons....crazy for them. That way, your dog has a brand new toy for their brains to play with and figure out. We have been crate training our Maggie at night and it works out well. During the day while we are at work, we have a section of the kitchen that we enclose with gates. We are really working hard at the house training thing, it is challenging but the most important thing to do is be consistent and patient. Maggie is a good girl, but all puppy at 9 weeks...she is either playing hard, sleeping , eating or outside working on her house training. I'm so glad that we got our Maggie from our local dog rescue group. Well, more updates soon....till later...

Dog Names

I'm trying to come up with some good/strong female dog names for the dog I get from a local dog rescue group. I know I can't really name her till I see her, but I'm looking for some good options. I've also been looking online besides brainstorming. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment.....thanks for following and talk to you later....

What to do with a lazy dog

So, Dakota is only 7 but he has been getting a bit lazy. His sister, our great chocolate lab Brittany has been gone for 2 years now from cancer. We think that it may be time for Dakota as well as his mommies to get another dog. We'll be adopting a younger female dog from a local dog rescue group. We are still looking for our new family member and can't wait to buy her a dog bed, dog collar and dog toys. Check back for updates......maybe there will be another star for this blog before long. Till later......thanks for following.....
