Ode to not having puppies | National Spay Neuter Month

February is National Spay Neuter Month. I've written an ode to how my life has been, and continues to be, pretty sweet -- by not having had puppies. The amount of loving attention given to me over the years has been steady, bordering on worship (in the case of a few admirers at least..BOL). [...]

How dogs survive and silly faces

Maybe in the wild, I would need to have cunning and sharp nails, to show strangers I mean business. However, in the concrete jungle, known as San Francisco, this is my patented Google-y face.

Loving our family: Two-Legged and Four-Legged

Last week was my annual mature exam at the vet. I had a nervous stomach and relied on my pack for support. They brought my favorite treats to surprise me with, and even let me get onto the couch next to them while we waited for our turn.

Happy Thanksgiving!
