I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather, which probably is an exaggeration, since the weather around here has been horrid – cold, windy, and rainy, with a lot of snow on the way.  Anyway, I was coughing quite a bit and it was suggested that I might have swallowed something that got caught somewhere.  …

I recently reported on West Hollywood’s passage of a landmark ban on pet stores selling dogs and cats other than those from shelters. Texas-based Chardonnay and Sir Lancelot, now part of a loving home, are just two examples of dogs who have endured the cruelty this ordinance seeks to bring to an end.
Chardonnay and Sir …

Franny and I have been working hard making G.K. feel welcomed.  Well, maybe not so much Franny.  Getting used to a dog brother is a big adjustment and you know how territorial dogs can be.  Franny is very set in her ways and she’s had to learn to back off considerably.  Take a look at …

Recently, Carlos was asked to deliver some chairs from Bedford to Kevin’s office in New York City.  Kevin needed them for a photo shoot.  You know, moving furniture is challenging and very strenuous.  So, when Carlos asked for my help, I was happy to oblige.  Sharkey saw me struggling and when I asked for a …

As many of you know, I celebrated my birthday last Thursday, the 18th of February.  Thank you to all of those who left birthday greeting comments on this blog.  I was having a very pleasant time at home when the guard announced that there was a delivery with my name on it.  Eliad, our tech …

You may know that I had a bit of difficulty accepting our new brother, G.K., into our lives.  Things were great with us, Frenchies, being the keepers of our domain.  I know that Martha really misses Paw Paw and that she really wanted another Chow Chow.  However, the arrival of little Ghenghis Khan was over …

While I always love to hear about an animal being adopted from the shelter, the stories of special needs animals being given a second chance especially warm my heart! Meet Darla….
“Special needs” actually covers a broad spectrum of conditions and abilities. Some special needs animals require continued care such as assistance with walking …

I suppose that when you are a puppy, there are many things to get excited about.  Sharkey and I keep forgetting that for G.K., the world is a totally new place and that things, like snow, are something of a phenomena.  It’s amusing to see his enthusiasm.  It’s kind of infectious, actually, and I have …

Now that G.K. has come to live with us, there is very little rest for the weary.  He is most rambunctious and he is certainly curious.  Franny and I know that Martha waited a very long time for this puppy, a grandson of Paw Paw’s, and we feel a huge responsibility to keep him safe …

G.K. is a very curious little Chow Chow. He wonders about many things and he asks very good questions. You probably know that Martha likes her eggs really fresh and even raises her own hens. The eggs get collected daily and are delivered to the kitchen and placed in a large bowl. …
