Lining up on the stairs in front of the AKC Museum of the Dog in the Big Apple, I’m ridiculously excited. An entire museum dedicated to dogs? Well, in this case, dog breeds because the AKC runs the country’s oldest purebred registry.
Happy Day After Valentine’s Day when all the big red hearts are half price and the evening is allocated to finding the soft centres. To celebrate the week of love, I supported local rescues – and got a great deal on professional photographs – with my true love: my dog Victor. Animal Angel Rescue Foundation […]
Sweet Hearts for Your (Furry) Sweet Heart Quick easy little hearts and a way to use an over-ripe banana to boot, here’s one of the easiest dog treat recipes I’ve discovered yet – or maybe I’m getting better at baking for barkers.

His best friend, Sasha, a lab-cross eats everything. Toys, however, are a different story. Sasha demolishes […]
Cheese please. What pup doesn’t like taste of cheddar once in a while? Yes, I understand dairy isn’t the best thing for canine intestines so moderation is the key. And these are treats, right. The original version of this recipe suggested cutting the dough into strips, but admittedly that didn’t work for me. So I […]
