Your Dog or Puppy and the Holidays
December 19, 2011 by Rosana Hart
I hope your dog is having a good holiday season… I hope you do, too, but here I am more concerned with the dogs! I set out to write a post about not getting a puppy on Christmas Day if it’s hectic with lots of people, and then I thought, wait a minute, didn’t I [...]

Our Dogs Adjust to Smaller Bed, Lola Romps Outside
September 30, 2011 by Rosana Hart
Recently I moved the sofa in our living room about a foot. So what, you could very reasonably ask. Well, the dogs turned out to think it was a big deal. My office takes up about half the living room and this week I encroached even more on the living room so I can put [...]

What Are Your Dogs Doing This Summer?
May 29, 2011 by Rosana Hart
Memorial Day weekend always feels like the start of summertime for me, to be highlighted by the 4th of July and wrapped up by Labor Day weekend. Here in the high country of Colorado, that’s about it for summer. My dog will be out in our yard more, and we’ll probably get in a few [...]

Our Dogs Like Their Seven Daily Routines
April 23, 2011 by Rosana Hart
How many routines do you have in your life that involve your dogs? I can think of seven daily habits at our house. My point is that dogs have a very well-developed sense of what time it is, relative to what you are going to do for them! At our house, here are the routines. [...]

Basenji Outsmarts Australian Shepherd
March 26, 2011 by Rosana Hart
If you have been around Basenjis, you know how smart they are. But Australian Shepherds have plenty of smarts themselves! Here is what happened when the Basenji wanted a toy… These were both our dogs, some years ago. At the time we took the photos, the Basenji was young and the Aussie elderly. I was [...]

A Major Misunderstanding People Have About Dogs
March 14, 2011 by Rosana Hart
Have you ever had this misunderstanding of what your dog is thinking? Dogs have a different sense of time from people. They live essentially in the present. We have to go to workshops or read books to learn how to live in the present, as our minds are so full of past and future… So [...]

As An Old Dog Gets Older
January 26, 2011 by Rosana Hart
Our logo dog, LarryDog, is 13, actually 13 and a half. Of all the dogs we have had, only one has lived longer than Larry. Not that he is showing any signs of quitting! He still barks enthusiastically at anything that might possibly warrant it. He still loves us with all his heart. If you [...]

When A Dog Gets Out
November 30, 2010 by Rosana Hart
It was almost dark when I stepped out into our fenced back yard to call our Rottweiler Lola for dinner. LarryDog was already chowing down in the kitchen. Usually if Lola is outside at that time, she is right near the back door, but not that day. I called. No Lola. I walked around the [...]

We moved from Mexico back to the U.S. back in April, and I blogged about the long road trip with dogs and cats in June. Since then, this blog has been filled with guest posts that I had lined up before we left Mexico, and we’ve been unpacking boxes, tiling floors, and getting settled. Now, [...]

Long Road Trip from Mexico with our Dogs and Cats
June 10, 2010 by Rosana Hart
Several weeks ago now, we left Mexico and moved back to Colorado. It was quite a trip. My husband Kelly was in our small Toyota Dolphin motorhome with our two dogs. Our three-year-old Rottweiler Lola had never been on a long trip before, but our older guy LarryDog is from Colorado and he had made [...]
