Improvements: Quick Cooking for Dogs
If you are a regular reader, you know I cook lunch for Kody every day, and he gets Merrick Turducken kibble out of a Canine Genius in the evening. I don’t feel that cooking for a dog is necessary by any means, but it just makes me feel good that he’s getting “real food” and [...]
Two Good Walks and a Canine Genius
I’m really proud of myself for picking up on this attention situation with Kody. By rewarding him for paying attention to me, we now have darn near perfect walks. It’s really amazing, but also a little scary how frighteningly difficult it was to get here (and we still have more to do!) When I first [...]
Cooking for Dogs Made Easy: Rice Cubes & Beef Cubes
I can’t help but feel a little embarrassed to tell this story. Like many other people, I cook for my dog. Just the morning meal, but I still do it. I’ll admit, I definitely have the crazy gene that all of us who cook for our dogs have. Yes, I’m concerned about additives and hormones, especially for a small dog.

Chubby Puppy
We went for Kody’s first yearly checkup a little while ago, and the only issue is he’s a little overweight. I had noticed this, but wasn’t sure if he was really overweight or if he was just getting an adult body. Well, he was overweight by about 2 pounds. I cook lunch for him every [...]
Super Bowl Treats for Dachshunds
We’re just getting ready for the superbowl here. The pregame show is on, it’s always a good day. I have two Kongs filled with moistened dry food and frozen so if Kody gets bored he can have those. We also always have bully sticks on reserve. But this morning I noticed something surprising. Kody already [...]
