"Woo! What are you looking at? I di d not chew the new dog house , " says Gibson in this Flashback photo of four years ago when he was just three years old! How the story unfolded... I fell in love with this "log cabin" dog house and purchased it on line and then put it together proudly all on my own. It w as , in my opinion, a thing of beauty and would fit perfectly on our deck . At the time, we had just Harley, who was four at the time, and Gibson, three. I couldn't wait for them to see it! Our love birds s eem ed to really like their new deck furniture! After Gibson ch rist ened it by nibbling on the trim, he made the top of the dog house his very favo rite perch , while Harley lounged inside.   The best part was being ins ide the kitchen and seeing him pe ek inside the window! In the summer, he would talk t o me through the s creen!    A while later the Pupsters came along and bumped the prince off h

Open up and say, "Ahhhhh!" With February being National Pet Dental Health Month , it's a good time to review our pet's dental health regimen to be sure that what we are doing to keep our furkids' chompers clean and healthy is on target.  First , a few quick questions:   Do you brush your pet's teeth?

Do you have your veterinarian give your pet a dental check-up during visits?     Pictured abo ve , our Harely shows off her canines...and while our girl does have good teeth, with age (she is now eight) t here is some tartar build up in the back, so under the direction of her vet, we are keeping a close wat

Bandit's sweet little face and beautiful puppy mask stole our hearts. She came home with us along with her littermates sister Chloe and brother Wolfie when they were j ust mere pups.   "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face." ~Ben Williams   Ba ndit i s our BandaBear, our Miss B... and our "Crazy Girl." Bandit has always been our challenge Husky. Bandit flies rather than runs, and she is absolutely attached to and obsessed with our alpha queen, Harley. Her monicker fits her perfectly and I someti mes wonder if her name didn't just find her as she is truly a thief at heart! Named because her mask resem bled that of a bandit's, s he will steal every toy and pillow from the rest of the pack family and pile them under her. She will then guard them as if they were her own. Thankfully, the rest of the pack tends to ignore her challenging issue of possessiveness, and on occasion, surrogate momma Harley will have to remind
