Happy Halloween! Don’t forget to watch out for landsharks posing as trick-or-treaters. They’re treacherous, those landsharks. (Costume from Target.)
Hi. I’m back. And with good news. Introducing Ferris! He’s my 18-week-old Pomeranian puppy. There’s so much to say about this. Such a whirlwind of emotions: Joy, nostalgia, guilt, amusement, frustration… And that was just in the last 20 minutes. So much has changed for me since I lost Bliss and even since the last [...]
It’s been a little over six months since we lost Bliss. Some of her toys are still here (I’m looking at them now), there’s a big box of unused food and product samples in the garage (they’re headed to a charity, I promise), and I’m still sweeping errant tufts of cottony fluff from corners and [...]
We said goodbye to Bliss on Monday. Bliss’ health had been steadily declining since Thanksgiving. One by one, we saw her lose the things she loved: playing catch with her stuffed toys, going on walks, and even rolling over on her back to receive belly rubs. Just getting up and down became increasingly difficult and [...]
Thank you all so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to us. I thought I could continue this blog while Bliss was ailing. I couldn’t. Every time I looked at a new dog product, it would upset me. “How long,” I would wonder, “will she be able to enjoy this?” (And [...]

Liz Palika, a writer for pet publications since 1985, breaks it down for us in this amazingly informative book, The Ultimate Pet Food Guide. In this book, Palika walks you through [...]

The nice people at Tu for Tee were kind enough to send me a sample of their so-darn-cute-it-hurts dog clothes. They’re tshirts featuring things like girly skulls and cupcakes, and have little tutus built right in! Bliss, being of the double-coated persuasion, can’t really wear clothes, but she passed it along to her Chihuahua friend [...]

Matt from The Mutt Pack sent us a sample of his new dog “closet door” organizer for dog stuff. As you can imagine, Bliss might be a little spoiled, and we may have a couple of dog things laying about. You know, a toy or two, a treat here and there. And, of course, she [...]

I first read about needle felting in a dog magazine. Basically, you take fibers, like wool, and “push” and “punch” them using a special felting needle. The result is the wool “felts” and sticks to itself, and becomes a wonderful material for sculpting. KaysK9s uses this needle felting technique to make adorable miniature dog sculptures. [...]

I came across these Sojos dog treats online in my search for new things to put on this blog, but then found them at the new dog boutique that opened in our neighborhood (more on that later!), so we were able to give them the ol’ Bliss taste test. Sojos specializes in healthy, natural food [...]
