This is something I’ve come across several times from one of the dog rescues I follow. It’s a tricky question to ask. Here’s the situation I’ve seen several times recently.

I’m Just Lowering My Center of Gravity
We were so excited to get a package from Talia’s Toys this weekend! If you haven’t heard of Talia’s toys, she makes these adorable upcycled tug toys (who doesn’t love when things are upcycled?!). When I opened the package, I was tickled to see not only the toy, but some treats and a hand written card as well! I don’t know about you, but I love the personal touches. It really shows how much someone cares about their product and their customers.

It Was Her Idea
Atka certainly knows how to get into mischief. I’m sure you saw my review post where Atka decided to shred my book. Teenagers… 😉
This weekend we were all on a walk when we ran into a family friend. Their two year old was smitten with the dogs so we decided to let them all play on the playground. Mauja decided that Atka and the girl were getting into too much mischief, so she went to hang out with the adults. [Read more…] about It Was Her Idea
What Does it Matter?
Since it’s finally nice out in Montana, people have been spending a lot of time outside. That means there are more people to stop and meet Mauja and Atka. The extra interaction leads to a lot of interesting questions/comments.

Bonding with Atka
Things have been rough in our house for the past few years. I’ve been suffering from several health issues, physical and mental, that have been interfering with every day life. These are issues that I’ve kept pretty quiet, but I’m learning the best way to move on is to talk about them. I feel like I’ve been trapped in a tiny bubble for the past few years. I work as a nanny, partly because I love it and partly because I don’t have to wear “real clothes” to work. My friendship circle is limited because I’m sick a lot or at the doctors. Things have been rough, but there are three things that have kept me going: my husband, Mauja, and Atka. [Read more…] about Bonding with Atka
Pet Sitter or Boarding?
One of the most difficult decisions we have to make as pet owners is what to do with our furry children when we have to travel. Can they come with us? Should we leave them at home? Take them to a kennel? These days there are several ways to find care for your pet while you are away.
You Should Always Trust Your Dog #PureEssentials
You should always trust your dog.
Seriously, believe me on this one.
Especially when you’re shopping.
Even though you’ll probably be wandering aimlessly behind a dog whose nose is pulling him in 50 different directions, you should trust him. Even though your dog will be sniffing around, picking out his favorites, and loving up on the customers, you should just trust him.
