Last Sunday, like most Sundays, Lee Harvey’s was bustling with people enjoying a great day with their dogs. On this particular Sunday, the Humane Society of Dallas County hosted “Dog Day” where they sold treat bags and handed out prizes and tried to find new homes for some of their adoptable dogs. Chewy, Buster and Fudge all came out in support of Dog & Kitty City, the only no-kill shelter in Dallas. Read the rest of this entry »

This week, many parents sent their kids off to school for the new academic year. Some children were returning students, some were going to school for the first time, and some were starting at a brand new school…and from what I can tell, many parents were just as nervous as their kids. I never quite understood what they were so scared of until this week when I dropped Chewy, Buster, and Fudge off at doggie day care for the first time.

Since Thursday night, I’ve been dog-sitting a cute little 3-pound Chihuahua named Bridgette. She’s tiny but feisty, loves people and animals (including cats), and is a model canine citizen. She is also a littermate of Buster and Fudge, so I already had a bond with her. It was a great weekend, since my three (male) dogs treated her pretty well over her three days at Casa DallasDogLife. Bridgette’s master came home today and picked her up, and Bridgette was thrilled to see him. Me, not so much. Read the rest of this entry »

Wow - over 2 weeks since my last post. Bad girl!

Saturday was definitely a productive day for me. As I mentioned in my review about UNLEASHED, I was able to walk away with some interesting information about dogs that I had never heard before. But the learning experience didn’t stop there! After I took a very tired Pekingese home from playing at UNLEASHED, I swapped him for the two little ones and went to a much less fun place (for them) - the vet’s office.

I’m lucky to be in a position to be able to spread the news about dogs in need, because DallasDogLife readers always seem to come through for these precious pups. Here are some of the latest requests I’ve received:

I have so many emotions running through me that it’s hard to put into words. I’ve been reading the news about the man and woman in West Dallas who were attacked by two loose pit bulls. When I first saw the story on the news last night, I felt awful for the victims and my heart broke even more when I saw the footage of the two dogs in quarantine. They looked beautiful, so sweet and loving, although I know that I can’t possibly expect someone who has been attacked by a pit bull to look at them the same way. Then I became angry because I know how loyal and gentle these dogs can be…with the right type of owners. Read the rest of this entry »
