All days start with 2 Prozacs, 20 mgs each. Since this won’t change past day 1, I won’t repeat it. I’ll list medication changes as they happen. Also, he always responds to water, inside and outside commands so we won’t include them in the practice cue list. Night 1, April 12th: After meeting Dr. Sung […]
Time flies! It has already been 4 months since we opened our home and our heart to Zach. Coincidently, today was the day we took him to see Dr Sung, the veterinary behaviorist. After a few weeks of training Z to get into the car and enjoy the drive we will put those skills and […]
A couple of months ago, I posted the article Four Good Reads For Dog Lovers which contained a list of selections for canine enthusiasts. These additional titles are meant to compliment the list and maybe even replace the Cesar Millan suggestion based on recent animal abuse accusations. As stated previously, seek professional help before implementing […]
Wiggle wiggle wiggle, Woof woof woof, I stretch after rustling from under the covers, Belly up, legs up, Rub me, rub me, rub me! Down the stairs and to the right My bowl awaits full of delights, The door closed, I sit nearby, My signal to let me go out into the sunshine. Play, prance, […]

I always jump into things from the deep end. I do well at first but the moment I start treading water, I panic. When you are fostering an introverted dog you need nerves of steel and precision movement. For Zach, I was willing to become the perfect adoptive parent. Boy was I in for a […]
My puppy Zach has been jumping up on the window ledge and barking at everything he sees. Because this is his job, to scare possible intruders away, it is my guilty pleasure to indulge him. He wasn’t getting hurt nor hoarse which are the primary tell tale signs he is excessively barking. However, based on […]
My husband turned to me recently and said, “I love this little guy. He is home.” which obviously made my heart melt. From seeing Zach’s picture, to meeting him and now seriously making future plans that include him, our journey as a couple as definitely been blessed with such an excellent opportunity to open our […]
One of the many things I hadn’t realized about the stigma of pit bull ownership was that my home insurance company wouldn’t cover any claims I made against the property due to damage or burglary because I own a pit bull mix. The policy becomes null the moment the pet enters the home even if […]
