Celebrate Love Your Pet Day

February 20 is Love Your Pet Day and we're celebrating! Who's with me? All pets welcome!

Here is my portait, in repose. On certain nights, I'm more conflict avoidance than tranquil. And as an older gal, I do have my issues with regulating my body temperature. Some nights, I'm the opposite of restful. Good thing I'm so cute, and PL is a heavy sleeper.

Curiosity or just a competitive dog? It doesn't matter if it means I'm getting exercise. Older dogs need to keep moving so we don't lose muscle mass. 

Sweating to the Oldies: Senior Dog Exercises

Canine Zen. Yoga dog mat? Have you read about the new Doga movement? It is about achieving harmony with your dog while doing yoga. It is a good idea, but what about us big dogs that like to jump around a little? We need something a little more energetic I think.

I helped bake the cookies earlier too. Guess what my special ingredient was? Some of my fur..Think of it like a lucky coin or other tradition from the old country. BOL

Happy Holidays! I'm off to take over chimney patrol.

Dressing Up Dogs at Holidays

Yes, PL is trying to make me into a reindeer or reindeer dog, or something equally silly. He's lucky that I love him very much, and will "wear" his hands like antlers, for exactly 5...4...3...2...

Crab Season 2011 Finally Opens in San Francisco

Better late than never! All San Francisco dogs report to the beach...we've got work to do.

Thanksgiving 2011 or How Senior Dogs Play Poker

By now, you probably have heard or read, that I am officially old. With this maturity, comes a quiet dignity. I may not be a senator like some of my buddies, but I am regal. I'm also slowly losing my vision. However, don't feel sorry for me, because as you will see, I'm holding my own.

In case I forgot to mention it, this is how I spent Thanksgiving this year. Yep, I am head-butting the stove, while the cranberry sauce and gravy is being made. And to prove that this isn't a fake photo, check out this evidence [...]
