Fluffy Fluffy Happy Puppy

I caught my husband song singing this phrase this Zach one winter morning. His fur was all wet and cold from the rain so he was asking for a rub down. The amount of love these two have for each other is unbelievable especially since they were total strangers two years and a month ago. […]

Merry Pitmas, 2017!

This is Zach’s third holiday season with us and we couldn’t be happier to have given him a home. He moved in on December 12, 2015 and managed to put up with a small yard, us, a big move, and currently our MBA schedule. We worked through his many reactions and health/behavior issues as newbie […]

The Sliding Door v Zach

When people say “he/she has the persistence of a pitbull” they weren’t kidding! Our pit-lab mix Zach loves to assert his dominance over certain areas of his realm (aka our new house) and he will not budge until he gets his way. Stubborn. Will cry, whine and bark until you fulfill certain requests. His crown […]

Zach’s Invisible Pack

When we moved to my sister’s townhome, we knew that the next door neighbor used to complain about her dogs so we figured Zach would receive the same treatment. For months we wondered when she was going to complain and one day, out of the blue, we realized why she hadn’t: they had been planning […]

Zach’s Pet Mole

Zach is one of those non confrontational introverted types so he stays away from everything that scares him. He’ll bark and growl and shake off the stress but he won’t come after you unless you are a squirrel or a ball. Hence it came as no suprise to us that, even though his hills were […]

Happy First Foster Anniversary, Zach!

Wow! It has been a year since we started to foster Zach. Even though we wanted to adopt him, we know there might be a better place for him out there, so we will continue to foster him, and treasure him, for as long as life gives us. We haven’t been able to move yet […]

My Beef With “Pet Friendly” Hotels

You’d think that finding a pet friendly hotel would have been easy since it is a trending subject but after a thorough search of rooms near us, we found only one that really was all inclusive of pet breeds: La Quinta Inn. A few Best Westerns and one Extended Stay America were willing to take […]

The Zach Diaries: 11 mos Update

Zach has been with us for eleven months now. Wow! Time flew by so fast. 😀 He has been the best decision we have ever made work after getting married. It hasn’t been all bubbles and rainbows but we enjoy it to the fullest even when sleep is being interrupted. We don’t know why he […]
