        What is Quality? A simple question: what is quality? To us quality means only the best. The best ingredients added to the best baking methods results in the best product. We use the best grade A beef and beef bones when making our broth. We add only the freshest chicken that… Continue reading What is Quality?

        Luna hates to have her feet touched. I find it odd. She loves attention, loves getting petted and belly rubbed, loves getting her ears scratched, but move your hand toward her feet and she immediately tightens up and either mouths your hand or gives a little growl warning that she don’… Continue reading Luna hates to have her feet touched

DEXTER ENJOYING THE SHADE Who is Leading Whom? Luna loves to lead. I think you get that if you’ve been reading these essays. It’s always been a challenge keeping her low in our pack hierarchy and I’m always reading and watching others to see which techniques seem to work with those dogs that are born… Continue reading Who is leading Whom?

Luna needs to be the alpha. Just ask her. I really don’t understand it. We have friends with multiple dogs in their household and Luna loves to go and visit with all of them. She knows all her dog friends by name; all I have to say is ‘let’s go visit Codie and Smokie’ or… Continue reading Luna needs to be the alpha

What’s in a name? Luna was named for two reasons; her markings and her behavior. She is, as you know if you’ve been reading about her, a lunatic. Pure and simple. Crazy dog. She also is a Shepherd/Husky/Border Collie mix and has these brown markings just above each eye and when she was a young… Continue reading What’s in a name?

The problem, for me, with owning a dog is that I know (?) that I will outlive her. I can’t stand losing ones that I love. Really can’t stand it. We’re all different; I know people who lose a dog and truly mourn the loss then get over it and have a new puppy the… Continue reading The Problem….

Luna is very talkative. In case you haven’t gotten that yet; Luna loves to talk: She barks at me all the time telling me what to do. Once, it had been awhile since she’d been out in the car. …..and when I finally recovered from her enthusiastic acceptance of my offer I got her into… Continue reading Luna loves to talk!

              Luna loves to play Frisbee. Just say the word and she gets all excited, mouth forming a huge grin, ears up and the tail going like a fan blade. Frisbee. Oh Boy! Oh Boy! The running, the leaping, the grasping of this flying object with the teeth, the… Continue reading Luna Loves to Play Frisbee!

Luna loves to ride. Every time. Just grab the keys. Bang! She’s there. Slight grin on her face, the head slightly tilted with the obvious question. But at the same time, she’s sitting patiently. She knows she can’t go all the time. “All right” I start to say, but she knows it before I form… Continue reading Luna loves to ride

Luna joined our family when she was 8 weeks old and we were too many weeks to count old. Our only child was off to college and we had not owned a dog in 5 years. I was enjoying time with my wife and to myself and the freedom to go wherever, whenever. Clearly, I… Continue reading Luna Joined Our Family
