    Rocco's new video

    Every time I see Rocco I get knots in my stomach! :( We would so love to have him in our little family, but our apartment is not enough space for two humans and three dogs! He is so precious and I'm going to be jealous of whoever steals him away!

    Henry is obsessed with eating grass!

    Bisou only nibbles on grass occasionally, usually out of boredom if we're hanging out in the yard without much going on. Our shepherd mix on the other hand has been nicknamed "Moo Cow" and "Billy Goat" because of her obsession with grass. She practically mows the lawn for us and will almost...

    Measuring for a life vest...

    I run into the same thing with Bisou. She's right on the cusp of medium and large in most sizes, but sometimes we'll come across something where she fits best in size small. It's mind boggling. I've stopped buying anything for her that doesn't have neck and chest measurements spelled out. We got...

    Still waiting

    Every time I see him I wish we had a bigger place and the ability for me to become a stay at home doggie mama! He is so precious and it's so hard to believe he hasn't been scooped up yet. Scratch that... I just re-read his description. "He prefers friendly, easygoing, non-pushy dogs." Whelp...

    Mama's little helper!

    Bisou is the exact same! She's got to be involved in absolutely everything we do. I can't tell you how many times she's been stepped on, kicked, hit with objects... but I wouldn't change it for the world. Chores are so much more fun when you've got that little face staring up at you! "Mama...

    Sardines and eggs

    I don't know what sort of sardines you bought, but I know they're typically prepared with a ton of salt. If they're fresh sardines, I imagine they couldn't hurt at all! If they're the kind that have been prepared, sardines may be more of an occasional treat... don't take my word for it though, I...

    How long to fully potty train?

    Bisou came to us at 16 weeks, where she was pretty much left alone all day with no training. They had a play pen set up next to a doggy door, so she pretty much spent all day outside pottying wherever she happened to be. That was a really hard habit to break. If my memory serves me, she wasn't...

    "Down"

    Good job Titan! Perhaps Bisou needs to learn sign language since she's conveniently 'deaf' when mama asks her to do something... ;)

    When have you all switched of puppy food?

    Bisou transitioned to adult food around 8-9 months. I switched early for the same reason - there were so many more flavors of adult food than puppy food! I have my girls on a rotational feeding diet where they change flavors every 3-6 weeks. I transition them over 2-3 meals so it's not too harsh...

    Henry's fast breathing - help :(

    If you don't want Henry to eventually end up sleeping in bed with you, as hard as it is to resist, don't let him in at all. As others have suggested, you can put his crate near your bed so he can see you, but what worked for me was keeping the crate outside in the kitchen. When she was young...
