You know it was a good hunting/foraging day when you nap on the drive home with a table full of stickers that had to be removed from your face and legs. 🫣🥰

Happy Thanksgiving one and all!! We had a fun day and the puppies loved their first Thanksgiving. We have had Franklin (blue boy) visiting with us and he’s having so much fun wrestling with his fam.

Peia is a woman now so she’s been sleeping upstairs with us so she doesn’t drive the boys insane in the crates overnight. Here she is dreaming sweet dreams thinking she could get used to this lifestyle. 😆

Great episode on dog diet! Raw feeding can be such a hot topic but this was a rational and informative explanation.

Oops here’s h to e link to the first episode as it is a 2 part series.

You’re probably not ready for this adorableness but I’m going to subject you to it anyway. You’re welcome. 😝

These guys love cardboard boxes and I have no problem letting them destroy them. It gives them a release for some of their mischievousness without any real damage.

Especially with a headstrong breed like a Kerry! They will own you so fast! That’s what I love about them they’re thinkers and need a leader or they’ll lead you right into a lot of frustration and headaches.

Dogs are dogs. They're not fur babies. They're not children. They're dogs.

That doesn't mean I don't love my dogs. It doesn't mean you can't call them your "kids" or "fur children." But for their sake, respect that they are dogs. Treat them well, but treat them as they should be.

People humanizing dogs is actually what's getting a lot of them put down, rehomed, dumped, and loaded with behavioral issues.

The best way to honor and love your dog is to respect the fact that they are different from us. That's part of what makes them so amazing!!

Bringing home a new dog and giving it whatever it wants, whenever it wants, is not setting them up for success. It may feel good to "spoil" them. I get it, but what you're actually doing is creating a brat.

I hear this often: "My dog bit our friend on the couch because he thinks the couch is his." OK, who let them think that? The dog didn't just waltz in and claim your couch. The dog wasn't given boundaries to begin with. I let my dogs on the couch, but if I tell them to get off and go to their bed, they will without hesitation. They've earned that privilege based on respect, trust, and understanding.

If you want to "spoil" your dog, do it by setting them up for success. Exercise them, give them boundaries, give them a job, and give them what they actually need instead of the latest squeaky toy. The time you spend playing with your dog means more than the toy itself.

Love your dog. Cherish your dog. Respect your dog, but for the love of the dog, TREAT THEM LIKE A DOG.

(And before anyone wants to say something silly...My dogs are my family. They literally signed my marriage certificate, but they also have boundaries. Just like any healthy family should!)

Hey hey! Look who made it to the front page! 🥰

The Kerry Blue Terrier is famous for its show-stopping blue coat. This onetime farm dog is an alert, adaptable, and animated watchdog and family companion.

Why do you love the breed?
