James was a therapy dog at a private school in Washington, DC and we both really enjoyed our time there. The school was going to be getting a resident therapy dog so James had his final visit and goodbye with the students. James also got some very nice thank you gifts! James is still a…

Late Spring Snow in Georgetown

Posted on March 29, 2022March 24, 2022 by Sandra

A late spring snowstorm arrived! We love walking James in the snow! He doesn’t mind wearing his dog winter coat and dog boots, too. The next morning, I noticed our community water bowl that I leave out for the dogs of Georgetown was frozen and covered in snow! That didn’t stop James from trying to…

More Tidal Basin Cherry Blossoms

Posted on March 28, 2022March 24, 2022 by Sandra

I enjoy getting up really early to walk around the National Mall in Washington, DC. The crowds are smaller and it is usually nice and quiet. It was a little bit cool and overcast, though. I would have preferred a warm sunny day! But summer will be here soon enough!

The cherry blossoms in the East Village of Georgetown are in full bloom! I walked over to one of my favorite parks, Rose Park, and brought James along as my model. On our way home, we walked past the neighbor with multiple Ferraris that he parks on the streets of Georgetown and I thought the…

The daffodils are popping up all over and spring is here! James sometimes wears fun costumes for his therapy dog work. For St. Patrick’s Day James has a funky green hat we found in New Orleans years ago: James also has a cowboy hat that he wears for visits. He will actually keep the cowboy…

Chris and James

Posted on March 22, 2022March 21, 2022 by Sandra

Look at how goofy Poodle James relaxes! The couch is so much softer than the ottoman AND the couch has a pillow! But silly James likes to do things differently! I thought these were cute photos of Chris and James. James is sporting his lucky green St. Patrick’s Day bandanna:

My Favorite Lip Balm

The Best Dog Bed

Posted on March 17, 2022March 16, 2022 by Sandra

We recently went out of town in our RV and we forgot to bring James’ dog bed. We stopped in a PetSmart and picked up a Top Paw Orthopedic Cuddler bed. It is now J’s favorite bed! We ended up retiring the Bowsers donut dog bed that James LOVED for years. It was getting a…

Tidal Basin Cherry Blossoms

Posted on March 16, 2022March 13, 2022 by Sandra

When we first moved to DC, I made it a priority to go see the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin when they bloomed. And pretty much every year after, we still head down to the Tidal Basin to see the blooms. Luckily we have lots of cherry blossom trees near our house so we…

Kenwood Cherry Blossoms

Posted on March 15, 2022March 13, 2022 by Sandra

The Tidal Basin is the most well known area of DC for visiting the cherry blossoms, but I like to visit cherry blossom areas that aren’t as popular (or as crowded!). In our neighborhood in Georgetown, we have a few local parks with a few beautiful cherry blossom trees. But I always like driving through…

Soap Nuts Laundry Detergent

Posted on February 9, 2022February 9, 2022 by Sandra

I was talking to some of my classmates following a hot yoga class and the subject of overly scented products came up. We all agreed that things like hand soap and laundry detergent have way too much perfume. Even the unscented free and clear laundry detergents can sometimes give me a headache. Quite a few…

Posted on November 11, 2020November 11, 2020 by Sandra

I use Facebook for mainly what Chris calls “Poodling” where I chat with other Poodle owners about food, beds, health and more.

Fall in Ohio

Posted on November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 by Sandra

I love the beauty in changing seasons. I love that one day a tree will look one way and the next day it can look completely different. I took a bunch of photos the other day here in Ohio – everywhere we go the colors are so beautiful! This house has a LOT of pumpkins:…
