My adopted life has been better than even this smart dog could have predicted. Trust me, as a Shepherd-Husky blend, I know I'm smart. BOL Well, now I'm a lucky old dog, whose life has made a real impact on others. My life in San Francisco has motivated my female to make changes in hers. Together...

Happy New Year! Are you sleeping in too? See, dogs ARE smart! I went for a 9:00pm ball drop for New Year's Eve again or "New York New Year's." This is a definite perk to living in California. And as a senior dog, my party days are long over. Hair of the dog. If you are in search of a perfect ...

Yuletide or High Tide, here's to a holly jolly day! Hope you get extra cookies, a romp outdoors and tons of cuddles. Love, Cleo

In my opinion, dogs rule. Granted I'm biased, because I am a dog, but let me tell you how senior dogs rule, rather than why. You might understand where this notion comes from [...] How senior dogs rule: As dogs get older, and take more medicine, we think you're giving us a treat when you deli...

Recently I had the chance to visit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. Only after my visit is over and I am home again, do I fully appreciate why people feel compelled to return, and how their experiences at the sanctuary stay with them. Out of gratitude for the joy I've had with my dog, C...

I don't care who created it, but I am celebrating Plush Animal Lovers Day. October 28 is a day that dogs everywhere will be happy to celebrate… October 28 dogs the world over - toys, plushies, squeakies, sock puppets, oh my! We unstuff them…or squeak them like crazies!! I wonder if October 29...

Just met a new neighbor. A nice wee pup. He just moved here and asked about some of the dogs he has seen around. I told him to not be offended if the pug with the brown collar ignored him. He was going deaf. I also said to watch out when turning the corner by the school. A greyhound that walks t...

Healy needs a home because she didn't get along with her housemate, a pitbull. Healy is a very active 10 yo female malamute who loves people including children but perhaps not young children. Healy is a very fun dog to have around in the house. She is an active dog who loves to go for walks, ...

San Francisco is such a great city. On my dog walk this week, like many, we got to meet so many nice people. Here is our typical sidewalk encounter between babies, shoppers, folks resting on benches and adventurous dogs. Sometimes the streets do get a little crowded, especially for a big dog lik...

Good evening everyone! Daddy is tired, and Nikita is keeping an eye on him, after a very busy day that began with a follow-up visit to his Doctor. Daddy got more x-ray pics, and finally let us share them all, so I helped him set up the display. ;-D Boo Boo Day - 5/22, a week after Surgery - 6...

This is for all the adoptable pups who would love some mother's love. Shop for your mom and help homeless animals at the same time! Boston is a sister city to San Francisco. Today I'm busy reminding my female that I appreciate her and if you live in or near Boston, you can show your appreciati...

No excuses people! I'm making it easy for you to pet me today. BOL

My body is bossing me around lately! I have such an urge to scratch and lick, it is making all of us in this pack and house, a little crazy. I am an alpha girl and can be very good at getting my way (hello extra treats!). Look at me out here on my baby blanket the deck, don't I look commanding...

Lucky. Maybe instead of Cleo, my name should be Lucky. Truly I am a lucky rescue dog. People evaluated my personality quickly and then posted a photo of me online and got me to our local television station for the Pet of the Week segment. In the space of a few weeks. I'm photogenic too which ...

February is Pet Dental Health month. Here is this post that originally appeared two years ago. What do you think? Hmm probably could floss more...BOL

Hey everybody!!! I let my female brush me today so that maybe some of my gray hairs would disappear and I appeared more youthful. What do you think? I'm working my look to go after people's hearts, hoping they will subscribe to my blog here (use the button on the right here between the f and env...
