Will has just started eating “puffs” and let me tell you, Zoey, Leroy and Stella are pretty excited about it. I got a kick out of watching Zoey on our sofa peering anxiously at the puffs, hoping that Will would give her one. “So close… yet so far away”. “Yummmmm… makes me lick my chops… [...]
An umbrella for your dog… hmmmm. It hooks to your dog’s harness or collar and folds up for easy storage. I suppose a dog umbrella would come in handy to a certain extent, but the rain would have to be coming from behind. We could use a dog umbrella for the occasional incident where Leroy [...]

While Don and I have been at Big Omaha this weekend, Don’s brother, Brian and his wife, Kari have been at our house watching Will and the dogs. This is GREAT news for Miss Zoey. She LOVES her Uncle Brian. They have a very special relationship. Brian lived with us several years ago while he [...]
Thanks so much…I needed that. I took a week off of blogging and didn’t even feel that guilty about it. I never want this blog to be a chore and for some reason it was getting to be that way just a bit. I knew this would happen at some point given that I’m stretched [...]
My Zoey is six today…can you believe it? Six! It makes me sad how fast time is going. She started it all for me…she’s the reason why I became so passionate about dogs and dog rescue. She’s the reason why I learned that pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills. Heck…she’s the reason I [...]
Dog walking is tough when it’s freezing here in the Midwest and it has been for awhile. Subzero temperatures and tons of snow does not make for a great walking environment for dogs…especially short-haired, small dogs like mine. Zoey and Leroy do really well with just playing around the house…they are pretty mellow. Stella is [...]

Zoey was sent this beautiful necklace from Sara Riley and her adorable dog, Ginger, who is Zoey’s look-a-like! It’s going to be perfect to wear for the holidays…both Christmas and Valentine’s Day! Sara does beautiful custom jewels for dogs and is so easy to work with. She also sells some stellar jewelry for humans too! [...]
I have been pleasantly surprised that the dogs have reacted even better than I thought they would to baby Will. I thought Zoey would be a little jealous, but she’s been great and very patient. Stella basically ignores him, although she throws an occasional bark his way. Leroy has reacted exactly like I thought he [...]

The dogs will be doing this: And Don and I will be putting together a ton of baby stuff, organizing, and other general nesting activities! Happy Labor Day! What are you doing today?
. All three of my dogs are obsessed with sitting on my lap when I’m on the computer. We take turns, given that they can’t all fit at once, and lately with my baby bump, it’s tough for even one to fit! Today, Zoey wanted to be my little helper. Isn’t it nice of her [...]
. My husband is 30 today. The other night he was asked if thirty feels like he thought it would and I got a kick out of his answer. He said that when he was fifteen, he and his brother talked about what it would be like to be 30. They both agreed that they’d [...]

Last week I bid farewell to the first trimester of my first pregnancy so I’m ready for a little fun. And this picture needs a name. Zoey (the white dog) typically could care less about Stella and her puppy antics but for some reason this night she got a playful urge. So what is Zoey [...]

I wish there was an option to add scratch n sniff ability to this post. When I wake up Leroy every morning he has the best smell. We call it his sleep smell. You know…people have it too, but for some reason I think Leroy’s is divine! Zoey and Stella have it too, but not [...]
I was browsing the pet section of Etsy one day last year and came across a picture of a chihuahua who looked awfully familiar. Zoey’s long lost twin! Her mom, Sara Riley, sells great jewelry for dogs and people! This is Ginger on the left. She is Sara Riley’s chihuahua who models her jewelry! I [...]
Today my little girl is 5 years old. I can’t remember my life without her. She started it all for me. If you’ve read my “About AG” section, you know that I affectionally call her my “favorite mistake”. I got her from a pet store before I knew anything about puppymills and their connection to [...]
Is your dog a panty bandit? I will never forget when I first got Zoey and I discovered that she loved to sneak away to the dirty laundry. Yuck! Here’s a better thong to play with! (Thank goodness they came out with a thong dog toy and not an actual thong for dogs to [...]
This evening we had to make a trip out to pick up supplies for Stella and came across the Three Dog Bakery Cookbook. The recipes all the looked quick and simple so we figured we would give it a shot. We opted for the “Hungry Mongrel Turkey Burgers” as a celebration dinner for welcoming Stella [...]

Story of my life! I don’t know if I should be getting this great poster from Obey The Purebreed because I don’t want Zoey and Leroy to get any ideas…
Volume #2- Lex’s New Years Resolutions Happy 2009 people! The year of the Ox is upon us and it’s gonna be a great one. To my dog friends, I wish you a happy 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 – May you become 7 times wiser than your human companions this year. [...]

Here is a description of their business: “NurdBunny Inc. is the invention of artist Heather Zayne and master seamstress Katy Mozal-Rohn. Born from the obsession over their own pups, they continue to manifest the most creatively inspired pet couture. [...]
