Let Me Sniff Your Stinky Paws

This post is dedicated to my sister, with whom I have had many conversations about how we love to sniff our dogs’ stinky paws. I’m sure that all dog owners can agree: there is a certain (irresistible) aroma about our furry friends’ paws. It’s not a bad scent, per se. The closest description I’ve heard […]

Do I Look Like a Mom Yet?

Sometimes, when Comang is lying on his back, I like to grab him and hold him in my arms like he’s a baby. When Comang is tired he lets us do whatever we want to him, so he can lie in this position quite comfortably for a while. Just before J snapped this photo, he […]

Move Over, That’s MY Pillow!

Further proof that my dog thinks he’s human: Not only does he like to sleep on his back, he also insists on resting his head on a pillow.

Not the Brightest Bulb in the Room

Reader tyeung612 left the following comment about my last post involving Comang: I love your dog…I just wanted to share that! I have a shih tzu myself and I’m not sure if it is the breed or if it’s the fact that i dropped him on his head as a puppy but he’s definitely not […]

Our Kids Are So Screwed…

Five years ago, J and I attended a fantastic New Year’s Eve party. The drinks were flowing, the props superb (Michael Jackson hats and gloves, anyone?), and the people rockin’. Needless to say, I partied a little too hard and had some trouble getting back to my then-apartment in Baltimore. Luckily, J wasn’t quite as […]

Pip the British Schoolboy

When we first got Comang his previous owners handed over all his grooming supplies (including an electric trimmer) and I was sure that we would be able to groom him ourselves. Our first grooming experience was the stuff of legends. Fur flying everywhere. Sneeze attacks from the fine fur that refused to settle to the […]

Is Anyone Else Sick of the Snow?

A blizzard is sweeping across the area…again. Here’s a view of my street at 7am this morning. We are expecting several more inches. Walking Comang was quite an adventure. I can’t say that he enjoyed the experience, as whenever he took a pause he would inevitably sink into the foot-deep snow and require assistance.   […]

Mommy, Will You Carry Me Home?

A cold front has hit NY. This morning saw our first snow of the new year. The sky filled with fat, fluffy snowflakes that reminded me of the quote “Snowmen fall from heaven…unassembled.” As with most dog owners, I usually do not like walking Comang in bad weather. Even snow leaves his fur wet and […]
