These three photos may not look like much. A dog walking in the back yard. But, do you notice anything? My dog is “unleashed”. No big deal, right? Not for a regular dog. But, for Misha…well, this is a sign that she is finally growing up and finally gotten over one of her worst behavior problems. You see, Misha was just a little over 1 year old when our lives got stressful. She transitioned from puppy to one year old…
Grandma bought Misha a new dog toy. It’s a giraffe that is about the same size as her. It was cute to watch her pick it up by a leg and drag it over to the living room. Once she got there, she threw it around a few times. Then, she plopped herself down and went to work pulling the fur off the ear. She chewed it up pretty good for about 20 minutes.

Independence Day…It’s the day we celebrate our nation’s independence. It’s a day for parties, picnics, and panic…if you’re a dog. While we enjoy oohing and aahing at the beautiful fireworks, the loud noises are very scary to many dogs (and cats too!) Misha is terrified of them, especially the ones that make a loud booming sound. The other night someone set one off. The sound and vibration were so forceful I jumped from my chair, car alarms went off all…
