Babe is a Blonde… or Maybe a Brunette
I got some wigs. I’m not really sure why except that I really enjoy using props when I take photos and I’m always looking for something fun and new. For example, I have a roll of burlap, two 10×20-ft. sheets of muslin fabric, a 6×35-ft. roll of white paper and three 2-ft.-sq. vinyl decorative background…

The Dangers of this Pit Bull
Dangerous, unpredictable and equipped with nasty, pointy teeth, this pit bull is definitely to be avoided.

Babe, It’s Cold Outside
It’s mid-January and winter finally found Brooklyn. Today I woke up and glanced at the weather app. It was 17 degrees. Brrr! Though, it did warm up to a balmy 28 degrees today. With the wind, the “feels like” gauge read 18 degrees. Ugh… I knew it was coming, but I’m never prepared for these…

Banjo’s Popularity
Banjo’s popularity with the neighbors is a real win-win since she gets to socialize with children.

Yes, Babe is a Jammie-Wearing She-Elf
On the hunt for pajamas for Babe, I realize that they might not be made large enough for her big rump!

Foggy Christmas Morning
Unlike most years, this Christmas morning was perfect for a visit to the dog park, and Banjo agreed!

Search for the Custom Dog Tag
In a world drowning in die-cut pet tags, I decided to find someone who could make a unique ID for our Banjo!

Puppy Rumpus Time Every Day!
The dogs like to tear apart our bedroom every day, playing and tumbling. But I don’t mind, because Babe has a best friend again!

This is Babe. And This is Babe on Benzodiazepines.
Babe’s anxiety is treated with Xanax. Unfortunately that just sedates her. It doesn’t get rid of her fears.

Shoe Shining with a Banjo
As I mentioned the other day, Ivan (the hubs) has been doing a lot of traveling lately to interview for residency positions. So the dogs and I have been spending a considerable amount of quality time together without their dad. When he’s home, Ivan is usually preparing for his next flight, or at the hospital.…

How Terrifying to Live Next to a Bar
Living next to a bar wouldn’t be so bad, except that Babe is terrified of it!

Outdoors in the Fall. Is there Anything Better?
As autumn slowly slips away, we’re helping the pups take advantage of the last golden days before winter.

My Dog Has (Another) UTI
It’s nothing new that Babe has a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Really, it isn’t. She gets them 3-4 times each year. Though, she does seem to be getting them a little more often since we moved to the city. And I have a sneaking suspicion that her (ahem) elimination method has something to do with…

For Halloween, the Pig Dog was a… Pig!
Trick-or-treating hours, in my small hometown, are 6 PM until 8 PM, as far as I remember. In New York, where much of the trick-or-treating is done store-to-store (commercial) instead of door-to-door (residential), it seems as though the little gremlins are welcome to begin as soon as the storefront open signs are lit. Well, that…

City Puppy Potty Training and a Rash Landlord
Banjo is a poop scapegoat for our overbearing landlord these days.

Your Dog Has Night Terrors? My Dog Has Night Pees!
Dogs do crazy things at night — howling at the moon, running in their sleep, getting the hiccups and keeping you awake (thanks, Banjo!) and even having night terrors — but Banjo is peeing at night. Thankfully, she’s not peeing in our bed (although we do have a plastic mattress cover for just such an…

When There’s No Time to Write, There Are Always Dog Pictures
My last post was over 2 months ago. Shameful, I know. In my defense, our little home did blow up with business as we prepared for Ivan’s residency applications. And, during that time, we were able to raised $10,000 to pay for the application process. That’s a big deal! But I also realized that writing…
