Today was a really fun day, because we hiked up the golf course trail. My sister and I usually take a swim in the pond behind the big house, but there were no ducks in the water. Instead, we decided to check out the fairway on the other side of the pond, and immediately picked up some very interesting scents. Suddenly, a dear jumped out from the woods and ran across the grass, so we took off full speed, chasing it all the way across the golf course, until we came to a dead-end street, where two… Continue

Seattle has lost its best and most outspoken dog trainer. Larry Babb sadly died from complications of lung cancer yesterday. For us and many other local dog owners and dog lovers, Larry’s passing means the end to an era of obedience classes at Pawsabilities.

What is UP with all those strange decorations in people’s yards??? I cannot figure them out!

Then started the search for Mr. Pug’s owner, I put him on a leash after he’d calmed down, and started ringing door bells in our neighborhood thinking he was… Continue

We met this strange person at the park today. He was carrying a folded up umbrella which he held out from his body like a sword. Mom steered us in a big circle around him, but he called her over, so she had to go talk to him. I didn’t like him at all. I thought he might hit us with that umbrella, so I hid behind my Mom, while Lilo growled a bit. The guy told my Mom that he carried the umbrella in case a dog would attack him. Who would be stupid enough to do that? Mom told him we were not… Continue
