For the past few weeks, we have been living in a hazy world. My daily habit in the summer is the wake-up, stretch, and then look out the window. Usually, I'm greeted by the moon as it turns in for the day and the promise of a blue sky. Lately, I'm greeted by an...
Over the past couple of months, I've been testing out a new raw feeding app created by Kristin Clark of Raw Pets Thrive. The app, Raw K9s Thrive, is a simple way to help pet parents transition to raw and feed a more balanced raw diet to our dogs. The app is...

It's spring here in the Pacific Northwest (although it feels like summer) and Rodrigo has been licking his paws a lot. It's the grass, especially wet grass, that makes his paws itchy and I've learned how to help him naturally. His paws also bother him in the fall...
This post was originally published in October 2015. I have updated it with new information, including new scores. I have to prepare the bathroom before the dogs become aware that Bath Day has come or else they'll bolt. I organized the bathroom, arrange a pile...
This post was originally published October 2017. I have updated it with new information and republished because my cat is now eating raw! Last year, I received a few lectures about feeding my cat kibble. Jaffrey (RIP) and Cosmo have eaten kibble their entire lives...
My dogs eat grass. I'm usually not concerned, but I am curious about the behavior because there are times when it's concerning. In this blog post, we will delve into the reasons why dogs eat grass, explore alternative options that provide similar benefits, and stop...
