Only watch this video if you have insomnia. Or if you just think dogs are cute, otherwise, it will bore you silly.

April 6, 2009 by Leanne

Ben Stein did a wonderful editorial this past Sunday on the CBS Sunday Morning Show. It’s only 2-minutes long and well worth the time.

1st Visit to the Dog Park

February 10, 2009 by Leanne

Love the Ball.. Love the Water..

Mikita visits the “dog park” for the first time.

I was very leery of taking her to the dog park. The thought of my baby running around without her leash among dozens of other dogs. What if she ran away? What if another dog attacked her? What if she ran off into the woods? (Yes, and god forbid, what about alligators!?)

Ok – just take a look at that photo to the left. Is that not one happy dog? She started off a little timid, stopping to smell everything, looking around to make sure we were close by and staring at all the other 4-legged friends running around. But she quickly adapted and was soon romping around and splashing around in the lake like a dog-park pro.

Mike watches over her.

Mike was the instigator of getting us to even go to the park. He knew (and reassured me) how much fun she was going to have. I was so worried about her running off. But she was more nervous about us leaving her. She ran up and down the shoreline, but would stop and turn around to make sure we were still standing where she left us before she ventured on further. And she got along splendidly with all the other dogs. Ahhh.. happy dog days.

: Look at me! I’m soaking wet!

For those in Central Florida, we went to Fleet Peeples Park in Winter Park, by the old Navy Base. There must have been more than 100 dogs there that day, if not more. It is double-gated to make it difficult, if not impossible for a dog to get out. There are dogs of all shapes and sizes, all there to have the times of their lives. Maybe we’ll see you there soon.

Safe Dog Chew Toys

Mikita & Jefferson wait for their chew toys

Came across this article from dog expert Cesar Millan’s website on what are the safest chew toys for dogs. The vet points out the differences in toys for large and small dogs. Bottom line – Bully Sticks are right now the best product you can trust in your baby’s mouth.
