From “A Dog Named Boo”

Boo's litter was abandoned in a pet store. It was the fifth, the smallest, who drew me in immediately. A smaller baby boy with a black velvet coat and bewildered brown eyes, he was clearly much slower than his littermates. He wandered through his siblings’ roughhousing, a toddler in a roller derby. They kept knocking him over as they zoomed by....

The day I found Boo's litter abandoned in a pet store, he drew me in immediately and something told me he needed to come home with me.

Pax’e’s day at the Animal Medical Center. She’s been coughing for three days, losing appetite, and becoming more lethargic. Although he is typically super scared at the vet, she had her whole posse with her and did well. They didn’t force or restrain her and she was able to be examined. Big shout out to AMC and Pax’e’s vets at Symphony who have been working with us. Cooperative Care for our dogs is a group activity!
Good news - Pax’e has a 🥶

Maybe it’s just me… but doesn’t it seem like they’re making a plan. Like, “Okay, I’ll distract your human. Then, while they’re scratching my belly, you can grab the pouch of chicken. We’ll go 50/50 on the chicken.” We teach a lot of good skills at Three Dogs Training but we try to stay away from dog treat pouch-pocketing.

Train your dog before the summer takes over.

There's still time to train your dog before the summer activities, vacations, and general fun takes over your calendar. Remember that training should be fun and educational... Wheeeeeee... No, we won't be teaching your dogs to lounge on a pool floaty. But we will train your dogs to follow your directions, be more confident, and be a happy member of your family....

Like humans lined up at the coffee cart on their way to the office, these dogs practiced their social skills of politely waiting for their turn to buy a treat from me. We had far less shoving and passive aggressive stink eye than I usually see at the human coffee carts.

A boy and his dog or is it a dog and her boy? Sometimes it’s hard to tell because permission to snuggle was granted by both of them.
