Good thing mom finally sat down on the sofa where I could demand scritches. I was running out of things to steal to get her attention. PS I do not approve of these things she calls “work trips”, so she owes me!

Last night of a work trip and I miss my little rascal. Here he is striking a pose on a woodsy hike last fall. I’ll see you tomorrow buddy!

He’s touching me! Koa has been laying like this for at least a half hour. This used to be a 5 minutes max occurrence. Is he maturing into a snuggler at the ripe old age of five?!?

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm

Does your dog struggle to calm down when they get excited? 🐕💥

Barking, lunging, spinning, or completely tuning you out?

You don’t have a bad dog. You have an excited dog who is over aroused and misunderstood. https://susangarrettdogagility.com/2026/01/excited-dog-cant-calm-down/

If your puppy is grabbing sleeves nipping ankles or turning your hands into chew toys you are not alone 🐶 In this blog post I break down why puppies bite and how to reduce it. https://susangarrettdogagility.com/2025/11/stop-puppy-biting/

Lunchtime! I get it in a puzzle because I’m “too damn smart for your own good”

What’s one thing you want more of with your dog this year?

Mom says this is hilarious…

Me at 9 weeks, just after arriving in suburbia from Texas back in 2020. I was a sassy little stinker, ready to conquer the concrete! #cityheeler #dogsofbluesky

The holidays do not just change your routine. 

Crowds. Noise. Kids. New expectations.
What feels festive to us can feel overwhelming to your dog.

Grandma’s backyard up here in reservoir country is fascinating. Have a Happy Holiday, #dogsofbluesky! Hope you get to chase some critters!
