A spoiled pooch


I’ve been taking care of Ginger for a few days now while my mom is out of town and it’s been quite the job. After just one night, she decided she wasn’t happy staying in an apartment. So on Monday morning I packed her up and headed back into suburbia so she would be more comfortable. And I’m glad I did. I don’t think the neighbors would have appreciated her incessant yapping. Plus I know she’s not happy without her routine evening walk to the park. There’s nothing worse than an unhappy pup:)

Barkin’ in the park


On Saturday I dragged Frasier along to the Anti-Cruelty Society’s annual Bark in the Park – a 3-mile walk along the lake with your pooch to help raise money for the shelter. When my dad dropped us off, it felt like every dog in Chicago was there, but we quickly found our place and Frasier was a champ. He made it through the entire walk, and only stopped a few times; he was much more interested in sniffing the behinds of those in front of him:)

Another visit

Yesterday was the last day (for the foreseeable future at least) that I was able to visit Pudge and take him out before heading into work late. He is just as cute as he was last week (obviously) and this time I managed to get him all the way down the block. He still couldn’t make it up the stairs, but I was more than happy to scoop him up and carry him all the way.

A loyal pup


Gosh, this makes me want to cry every time I see it. I saw it on the news earlier this week, and again on Steve Dale’s Pet World. There is nothing quite like a loyal dog. They are just the best.

Meet Pudge


Yesterday afternoon I was able to pay a little visit to Pudge, my cousin’s brand new and adorable little puppy. Fortunately, I didn’t have to go in to work until later so I started the day off right taking Pudge outside to walk along the street, relax in the sun and play tug of war with what seemed to be a favorite toy. He was happy to have the company, even when I had to carry him up the steps back to his pen. What a cutie!
