We all know how dogs love to get scratched right at the base of their tail. Well my Dachshund Kody sort of loves it, but I’m not quite sure what’s going on. Sometimes when I scratch there he’ll kind of arch up likes he likes it, and then he’ll start sort of writhing around and [...]

Kody and I haven’t been going on our usual walks because it’s been so cold. We tried the first day but he didn’t really like the snow everywhere and seemed nervous about it. After that I thought that maybe because he’s so small the cold would be really harsh for him. I didn’t know how [...]

We’re going through an unusually cold spell. That along with my home having a combination of high ceilings and baseboard heating, the heating system just wasn’t enough to compensate.

But we don’t just report the news, we have opinions on it! A dog’s primary socialization period with his or her new owner is [...]

High Quality Dog Food I want the best for my dog, so I actually make him a small lunch of carrots, oatmeal, and hamburger every day, and at night I feed him Merrick Turducken dog food. Merrick has a very creative variety of flavors, Turducken was just the one I chose. When I first got Kody, I didn’t necessarily [...]
