Rewards

I love playing. My human says I have tons of energy and am super bright, so I get bored quickly. Fetch? I’ll grab my toy once or twice. Tug? I’m usually ready for a new game after 2 1/2 minutes. So my human starts with a tug game, and then she runs away into the… View more

November

I hear my human talking about something big happening. I don’t know anything about elections, but I know I love my morning walks. It took my human a long time to find our bike path route. When people pass us, I get so happy. My human laughs at me as I bop and bounce to… View more

Want a super easy lick-mat recipe? Here’s my go-to enrichment treat for my Mabel Sweet Good Girl when I’m doing yard work and don’t need her help pulling weeds or trimming herbs.

There

It’s time for the wisest advice you’ve ever received from me, Mabel Bestest Goodest Girl. I hear humans all the time talking about “there.” What is there? You’ll get there with your health, money, and peace in your heart, community, and world. Where is there? I don’t know where it is, but we dogs like… View more

Rolling

Are you ready for weekly wisdom from me, Mabel Sweet Good Girl? Well, there’s a lot about my human I super love, like she knows I have so much energy to burn, but I also get nervous. This week, we were at our regular SniffSpot, and because it was too cold for me to chase… View more

All

Ho, Hey! It’s Mabel again. I hear my human talking to other humans about all the super big stuff your species is dealing with, so since I’m a bulldozing love muffin with boundless energy, I’ll be your blog host, at least for a while. Also, I’m wiser, funnier, and cuter than my human, so it’s… View more

Highlights

Hey! Hey! It’s me, Mabel. It’s been a while. So much has happened, but I’ll give you the highlights. My human was in the kitchen for 11-hour days and packing orders again, which was great for me because I got to see my boyfriend (my pet sitter’s human son) every day. I love him. He’s… View more

Patience

I thought Finn taught me patience. However, the older I get, the less I’m sure I know about anything—life, love, dog behavior. And, even though Gavin needed a profoundly compassionate, mushy, soft approach to anything and everything I asked of him, I’m learning that I know nothing about patience. Mabel and I are having so… View more

Meal Enrichment for Dogs

I’ve loved slow feeders since they came into my life. Gavin, not so much. My sweet boy needed a lot of love, patience, and spoon-feeding to eat. Conversely, Mabel greatly benefits from slow feeders, and I’ve used Gavin’s old Mine Pet Platter since she blessed my life with her food-loving self. It’s just so big…. View more

Precious

Four people I love have lost (passed away) dogs they love in recent weeks. And, while my sisters (birth and soul) and two dear friends’ loss and grief journeys aren’t mine, they remind me that life is too freaking short. We have so few days on this earth. Why do we squander our free moments? Why do we let… View more
