Rain, Rain, Go Away.
After a week of beautiful sunshine, I woke up to this today…rain. So instead of my morning walk, I hung out in the doorway and watched the rain fall. Notice how I conveniently got the humans to put my blanket there for me? After work I came home and snuggled up on my living room …
Hello 2009!
Hello 2009! I stayed up to midnight and celebrated with a cookie, some milk and big hugs from my humans. It was the perfect start to the new year. The first day of the year was excellent here in Los Angeles. It was a beautiful sunny day and I spent most of it outside, playing …
Happy Holidays!

Meditation For Dogs.
I feel pretty good this week. I think my acupuncture and Adequan treatments are helping a lot. So I played a lot and then I relaxed a lot. I like to chill on my West Paws nap bed. It’s nice and portable too so we roll it up and take it with us to my …
Micro Nose World.
My nose is very sensitive… it smells things close up… like red hot chilies…. and yellow flowers…. I can even smell the spray of the drops of water from the fountain… and the roses… as well as the limes…. I don’t get too close to smell this cactus because it’s prickly… but I like to …
More Tiny Needles.
Today I went for my second treatment of acupuncture as part of my treatment for arthritis and hip dysplasia. This time I was prepared and took my West Paw Eco Nap Bed. It rolls up just like a yoga mat, and I just love it! It makes you feel comfy no matter where you are. …
Pet Therapy Monday.

The Ups & (Mostly) Downs Of Getting Old.

Bath Renovation Roundup.
When we moved into our house one of the bathrooms was this crazy pink bathroom from 1945…believe me, that is a lot of pink! So this year we decided it had to go. All those TV DIY shows make the demo part look fun but it’s actually the worst…big messes and lots of dust! …
Beautiful Packages With Pawesome Surprises.
One of my blog readers, Eva, has a wonderful site alilsumptinsumptin that features her original handmade jewelry. Recently she made a necklace dedicated in memory of Ben & Jerry. My human mom has admired Eva’s work for some time and couldn’t resist the beautiful necklace which also would carry a lot of sentimental value for …

After a few GReat days in Carmel, e had to head back home to Los Angeles. So we packed up and headed down historic route 101. Route 1 is more scenic if you get a chance to drive it but because of the fires in Big Sur, part of it was closed. I jumped in …

Welcome to part 2 of my big Cali coastal adventure! We headed down the coast a couple of miles to our main destination which was Carmel-By-The –Sea. It’s a very nice seaside town with a beautiful dog beach and it is quite possibly one of the most dog friendly places ever. You may have heard …

Things have been pretty quiet around here without the pups, Ben & Jerry. I miss them too… just like my humans. We have been spending a lot of snuggle time together and I really enjoy it. It’s very important to spend quality time with the ones you love. I would like to thank everyone for …
