Lacey and I get up every day at 6 or 6:30 and go for a walk. This week, I’ve started adding in some training at the beginning of the walk. She’s doing really great with heel and sit. She has a beautiful heel, right next to me, left side, nose about even with my left […]
I’ve had this dog for 13 days, and just yesterday I noticed she has fleas. Not just 1 or 2 fleas, but there are thousands of them running rampant all over her. How could I have not seen these evil creatures before now?

A couple of days ago, I handed one to her, just to see […]
Turtles! More specifically turtle carcasses!

Over the last few months, we’ve had all kinds […]
In our house, there’s a dog door that leads from the laundry room to the back yard. The last 2 days, we’ve been teaching Lacey to use the dog door.
