I have no experience but the pet stroller looks EXACTLY like our bike trailer we use for our 2 year old daughter. We got it used from Craigslist for under $100 and it came with a push bar to convert to a push stroller. We only use it on the bike but wheeling it around the garage, I think it'd...

Graceland's Hound Dog - Elvis - 1/17/2008 - 11/14/2018 Elvis peacefully fell asleep at home this afternoon, two months shy of his 11th birthday. He has been the BEST dog and our hearts are absolutely shattered. We knew it was coming - we made the call on Monday - but that doesn't make it any...

Has anyone dealt with reoccurring infections in the jowls? Elvis was diagnosed with an infection in between his bottom right lip folds in April. We found it when his breath got really, really bad and it cleared up after a round of antibiotics. It came back last week as a large, lobular, red...

He celebrated by sleeping all day and finally rousing for a dinner of lamb chops, mashed potatoes, and peas followed by a blackberry and yogurt parfait. He's quite a bit slower than he used to be, but as you can see below he's had a great year. He's just the best and we love him so much. And...

Hey guys, I haven't been posting on here much at all, but Elvis is 9 years old today!! He's doing fantastic - staying around 140 pounds, loved the little bit of snow we got so far, and is tolerating his toddler dictator. Our daughter is almost 2 and loves to boss him around, but he just snores...

On Saturday Elvis participated in Paws for a Cause - a 1 mile dog walk that raises money for the Children's Hospital where I work. I'm proud to announce that he smoked last year's time of a 45 minute mile (I blame all the socialization that had to happen at the water stops) with a blistering...

Our daughter was born on February 9th. Elvis wasn't too sure of her at first, but he's starting to come around more and more. He checks on her every time he comes back inside the house and now even comes to see her when she cries instead of booking it out of the room. He seems to enjoy...

On Saturday the 17th Elvis Dog turned 7 years old! ........except this is how we all felt about it. I can't believe he's 7! When he's not turning a year older, he's busy being in two rooms at once: and enjoying any snow we get.

Elvis' Secret Santa was Maggie the Newf and her mom, Brandie. We can't thank her enough for the fabulous gifts!! I never thought that Secret Santa would make me cry, but look what I saw when we first opened the box! A blanket just for Elvis' human baby sister, who will be here in just a few...

It's no secret that Elvis can be a bit of a prince sometimes, but lately his OCD has gotten pretty bad. Long story short, last weekend I left two boxes in our family room overnight. They were within Elvis' eyesight when he went in his cage for the night and he just couldn't handle it. He...

If your newf is anything like Elvis, they love to be in the kitchen "supervising" whatever you're doing. Elvis is a super taste tester and even helps wrap up the leftovers. Let me see how your newf helps you in the kitchen!

Elvis is going to the vet at 4pm today for what I believe to be some anal gland issues. It started at 4:30am yesterday morning when he barked a few times. Elvis is NOT a barker and he's certainly not one to be awake before 9am every day. I checked on him and he seemed fine and not interested...

Elvis Dog has been having a pretty great summer. He spent July 4th posing around the college campus. He wasn't impressed by the arrival of his Fur Dry (we haven't tried it out yet). He's taken to guarding the landing from those crazy cats. And last weekend we took him down to...

Elvis has developed some weird obsession with eating the grass clumps after we mow. He'll run out there and start chowing down like he's the first one through the salad bar. He's never out there alone so we see him do this and try to get the grass out of his mouth. We don't have any chemicals...
