Dressing Your Dog

It seems like no matter where you go now, more and more dog owners are choosing to dress their dogs. I personally think this not only makes them look cute, but it also gives them their own look. Lets be honest: all dogs of the same breed pretty much look the same. Shouldn’t your dog be able to have their own look by having their own style? Wintertime is when dressed up dogs are most popular. Owners throw on a sweater on them to keep them warm, and the styles are endless. The rest of the months are no exclusion when it comes to pooches having fashion sense. I’ve seen dogs with tank tops, skirts, and even flip flops!

Camping in the winter is a little different than the summer

Guest post written by Penny Holson

Some of my fondest family memories growing up included the outdoors. I would always go camping with my parents and older brothers. I guess that I was somewhat of a tomboy then with just brothers and now I have two boys on my own and love doing that type of stuff again. Continue reading

The Perfect Pets

Not many people know this, but I actually used to have a phobia of dogs. I would completely freeze up around them, and I absolutely dreaded going to a home which I knew had dogs in it. However, as I got older I managed to slowly get my phobia under control at which point I begin to understand why people love dogs so much. Not only are they fun pets to have, but at the end of the day there is nothing quite like the unconditional love your dog can give you.  I admit that once I received a dog of my own I spoiled him a little bit.

Fashionable New Scrubs

Any time we take our dogs to the veterinarian we insist that they get the best care possible. That doesn’t just mean that they’re diagnosed and treated correctly, it means we also want to feel like we are in a comfortable and caring atmosphere for both ourselves and our pets. The same concept holds true we when get sick ourselves. If we our unfortunate enough to go to the hospital, we want to feel like the hospital is a place where we can heal, rather than just a place where we anxiously wait for the next piece of bad news.

Love it here!

Thanks to Darwin Barton

My house is my sanctuary and I’ve spent years getting it decorated and all set up exactly the way I wanted it to be. I love being at home and I don’t really feel scared to be there by myself like I did when I was still married which is a nice problem not to have. Continue reading

The Perfectly Clean Carpet in Austin, TX

As professional dog owners, we must always keep the cleanliness of the home in mind. You might think that this is easy, but the fact is that most commercial vacuum cleaners are able to remove surface dirt and residue from a carpet. While this may meet the immediate needs of a house or office, over time, ingrained dirt, entangled hair and other residue cannot be removed by household cleaning appliances. Continue reading

Heading to Busch Gardens for vacation

Guest post written by Joey Simpson

I like to try and take our family to different spots for vacation just because it changes things up and I think makes things more interesting. Growing up, we would always just go to the same family lake house during the summer, which could get really old all of the time. I don’t want my kids to get bored with our vacations, so we’ve decided to try and go on different trips each year. So far we’ve done a pretty good job of doing that. Continue reading

Adopt A Shelter Animal



All around the United States are unwanted dogs and cats. Some of them live as feral animals which can be a cruel and short life. Others end up in city or county shelters. There they will most likely get a few days of food and shelter before they are put down. For most of them, the only love they get from humans will be on the last few days of life before they are put down. Continue reading
