I’ve really been riding the dog theme as of late, in the slim chance you didn’t notice yourself, and today’s post will continue this trope. If you don’t have a dog, I do apologize for the lack of relatable material. If you do have a dog, I sincerely hope these past few posts have been … More Looking for some higher-quality dog treats? Look no further
I wager it is relatively safe to assume that if you own a dog, your dog arguably wears a collar. Perhaps not all of the time, and maybe only when said dog is taken for a walk outdoors, but it is more likely than not that if a dog lives alongside you, there is a … More If you have a dog, read this
This past Monday was a rough one for my family and me. My parents have three dogs, all of which are Australian Blue Heelers, and they’re quite literally our world. Blue is the oldest and is a male, and Finn and Remi are one year younger and are biological sisters. Blue is five, and the … More Rest peacefully, sweet Remi
Before anyone decides to judge me for dressing my dog in a onesie, please hear me out. If you read yesterday’s post, you will know that our dog, Lenny, was recently hit on the road by a trailer; the incident was entirely her fault, not to sound too harsh, but we are extremely fortunate and … More Looking for a dog onesie? Look no further
I am an avid Amazon user, and while some folks might judge me because of that, I’m really not terribly concerned; I shop locally whenever I can, but as a matter of convenience and with two working adults in one household, sometimes Amazon comes in clutch. I’ve had mostly pleasant experiences with Amazon delivery drivers, … More How are your experiences with Amazon delivery drivers?
Animals have been a central component of my family since I could walk. Our family dog, Ducky, was the first pet I ever had, and funnily enough, she and I were born in the same year. She was a part of our family until she was about 13, and it was at that same age … More The privilege of owning animals
I think it would be safe to say that most people are in collective agreement that canine instincts are some of the best in existence when it comes to animals. Dogs tend to sense, feel and detect things we as humans often miss or overlook, and sometimes, the accuracy of canine instincts is astounding. My … More The marvel of canine instincts
I have grown up and lived in my hometown my entire life, and I honestly can’t imagine anything different. To some people, that consideration sounds ludicrous; people move all of the time, and some folks don’t like living in a certain spot any longer than a few years. My family and I are the complete … More Finding unity in small communities
Back in February, Blaine and I welcomed our lovely little pupper, Lenny, into our family. When we first brought her home, she was about nine months; she turned one in May, and while she is still a young dog, we have already had the pleasure of witnessing her mature, grow and show her intelligence, which … More Rescue dogs: what we don’t always know
I should arguably clarify my title and make mention of the fact that when I say Wolverine, I mean the animal, not the character Hugh Jackman plays in X-Men. Not to say Wolverine from X-Men isn’t an impressive, admirable lad – he is, and I would be curious to see a fight between him and … More How well do you know Wolverines?
I have said to a variety of different people that I think it would be simultaneously helpful and not so helpful if animals could talk. If they did have the ability to speak, they could inform us when they need something or perhaps aren’t feeling their best self. At the same time, however, specifically in … More Do you know what to do if your dog is overheated?
I know, I know. The audacity I have to get that forsaken tune stuck in your head for not only one day, but two. I plead the fifth; however, writing a blog post about foxes does deserve such a fitting title, and considering I don’t plan on writing about them for an extended duration of … More What does the fox say? Part two
I hardly consider my love for Australian cattle dogs to be a secret. My family has owned and loved them since I was a young girl, and now Blaine and I have one of our own; Lenny is an Australian cattle dog mix, but I still think she fits the blue heeler criteria, even if … More Let’s talk about Australian cattle dogs
For anyone who owns a dog, you’re arguably aware of how important treats are for your pupper. Dogs are God-sent creatures that are far too pure and wonderful to be without treats, and so we as their owners must do our due diligence and ensure our doggos are receiving treats whenever necessary. Most of us … More Here’s how to make homemade dog treats
This past Wednesday was not a good one for my family and me. It was my dad’s 65th birthday, which is a milestone and monumental birthday absolutely worth celebrating, however, our celebrations were quickly sidetracked after an incident occurred in the afternoon. I was in the midst of a tutoring session with a client when … More Thank you, vets and vet techs
A few days ago now, one of our dogs went missing. Blue is a male Australian cattle dog (although he more so resembles a dalmatian due to his markings) and is about a year-and-a-half old. We have three dogs, and they sleep in cages in our garage at night. In the morning, when we let … More Finding unity in community
A little while back, I wrote a post regarding cats and some quirky things about them that aren’t exactly common knowledge. They’re mysterious and majestic creatures, and I happen to friggen love cats, hence the awareness post. I also happen to friggen love dogs, and because I don’t want to discriminate, I figured it is … More How well do you know your pup?
Puppies are, put simply, a shit load of work. They’re essentially like a baby in regards to their need to receive attention and love, and they’re also similar to babies in the sense that they require constant supervision and designated feeding times. My family and I got a puppy just over a week ago. He … More The reality of raising a puppy
I can’t say I have a favourite breed of dog. I love dogs, regardless of the breed, and I truly believe them to be blessings which we as humans are not deserving of. While I feel bad saying I prefer any dog breed over another, I do have a bit of a bias towards one … More This is why your next dog should be a blue heeler
Chances are, at some point in your life, you’ve made use of a dog leash. Even if you don’t have a dog, leashes can serve a variety of purposes if you’re creative enough with them, depending on what you have in mind. Normally speaking, though, dog leashes are for what the term encompasses; dogs. And, … More Making dog leashes with … apples?
Dogs, if you have or have ever had one, are one of life’s biggest blessings. They truly are some of the most loving, loyal, and special animals to walk the earth, hence why losing them is a loss that cuts so deep. My family and I lost our dog Sam several years ago now. He … More The harsh reality of losing a dog
Dogs are pretty great. They’re easily one of my favourite species of animals, and considering my family has always had a dog on the farm, I honestly struggle to imagine my life without one. My current dog, Jake, is my best friend. He and I have a bond that I’ve never shared with another animal … More How well do you really know your dog?
My entire life, I have always stressed that only dog people are able to comprehend how difficult is to have a furry friend leave you. My family lost one of our pups, Sammy, a blue heeler, roughly a year-and-a-half ago. It was quite honestly one of the most difficult experiences I have had to endure, … More Can losing a dog be harder than losing a person?
