We just had a new puppy (Brinks) stay with us for a week.   He’s a mix of English and French Bulldogs.   Holy cow is he cute and as strong as a bull and he actually kind of looks like a little cow.  My husband Tom, nicknamed Brinks Cow-Dog.

I just met the most adorable Boxer puppy named Roscoe last night on a consult.   I will be walking him and teaching him how to be a well behaved, house broken doggie.  I don’t have any pictures of him yet, but I will put one on my dog pictures page when I get one, he’s so cute.  I only have a fraction of he dogs I have had as clients on my website.  It’s just too hard to keep up with all of them.  You can see my pets and some of the pets I care for at my Doggie Pictures  page. I love being... Read Full Story
