Avoid canine cabin fever with these winter dog walking tips
In case you are trying, like me, to avoid canine cabin fever for as long as possible, here are some tips to make sure your pup is happy and healthy during the winter walking season!
We’re not worried about our pit bulls being around our baby
The most persisting hot topic in my life as a mom is the fact that we have two Pit bulls. Well, an American Staffordshire Terrier and a Pit mix extraordinaire to be exact, but really we all know regardless of what I call them they’ll always just be Pit bulls. Are you nervous? Oh please don’t be!
How to prepare raw dog food at home
Before we continue, two things: One, I am not a veterinarian. This is simply what has worked for us and our pup. Two, we are about to talk about poop. LOTS OF POOP. If you’re eating a tasty burrito, maybe set it down ’til we’re done.
Adorable dog beds that’ll steal your heart and your attention
I remember the shopping post a long, long time ago about chic dog beds. What about a shopping post request for adorable pet beds?

Offbeat dogs: Why you should consider adopting a bully-breed
It’s plain to see, the Offbeat Empire likes dogs. They like them a lot. Everywhere you look on Offbeat Bride, there are dogs walking down the aisle.

For me, bully breeds are where it’s at. In a way, bullies are the most offbeat of dogs.
